[QUOTE="njsimonson, post: 201287, member: 1507"] 1) Do not progress too fast. If you've never run consistently, or haven't for a while, ease into it. 10% mileage increase each week - MAX. Set your schedule based on that, I second the Higdon plans. They're great for whatever shape you're in -- you can always adjust -- and they follow that rule pretty closely as I recall. 2) Cross train with leg days and abs. On your off days, build leg strength via lifting, or doing something like Plyometrics in addition to your runs, and adding in an ab routine. Lifting will make your stride more powerful, and various core exercises will make your support muscles (hip flexors, glutes, obliques and abs) stronger, to keep you stable and tire less easily. Plus that's where you get the POWER and STABILITY to take on those badlands next fall. 3) If it's your first -- just finish (or just finish without walking) -- you can build from there! 4) Yeah...Body Glide. :) Best wishes for a successful training season and a great run!
