Those training for 5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon, marathon....
What is your (long run) mileage up to this weekend and what race are you training for?
I am training for the ING Georgia marathon on 3/21 and running 20 on Saturday morning! I only gave myself a 2 week taper this time so after Saturday one more 20 and my long training runs are over till marathon day!
Happy Running all

Re: Those training for 5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon, marathon....
I'm not going by any training sched, kinda just made one up myself lol for the month of Feb my long run is only 6miles but for March I plan on doing 8miles and April 10miles. I don't plan on actually running a full half until May at the race. I curently run on a treadmill and only get out once if lucky which I'll do my long run. I figured starting in March it should be getting nicer out and that's when I'll start picking up my millage. This is my 1st half and hope the amount of training I can get it will help.

i'm training for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler in DC on April 11 and my long run this week will hopefully be 6 miles. I've been horrible about getting my runs in this month and i'm starting to feel very worried about the race. I really want to improve my time from last year, but not sure if I'll be able to now.

Re: Those training for 5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon, marathon....
I'm doing the LI half in May. So far my longest run has been 8 miles but I haven't had a long run in the past week or two because of foot problems I'm having (pain, tingling, numbness, burning in my feet, causing me to stop my run early)  I hope to get this resolved soon and get back into my program. Eventually I want to get up to 12 miles at least so I can feel confident that I'll be able to complete the 13.1 distance.

I'm with you with ING Georgia and so not prepared. January was a bad month...I fell...had tonsilitis, followed by bronchitis.
I did 14 this weekend and am hoping to finish up with 16, 18, 20, 12, race
I hear this race is hilly, so I'm just doing it for the experience, not expecting PR - I'll save that for the fall.

I ran miles 14-20 as part of my run the other day (part of the race goes through my neighborhood)...and miles 16-18 are really hilly. One or two of those miles are new...they changed the course and one of the hills at about 17 is a mountain...not long but really steep...but it is preceded by another long hill and others within the next mile or so...it's tough! I had a goal and then a long shot goal...I just want to hit the goal...I'm really nervous.

UGH! so not what I wanted to hear! I have a twi different goals as well. Do you know why they took most of the pace groups away? could they not get enough pacers? it seemed when I signed up they had a group every 10-15 minutes...but now it's only 3:40, 4:15 and 5:00. BQ is 3:45 for me, but I would be too scared to start with the 3:40 group - I just think I would tank - especially with those hills that you are talking about. I'm nervou too...that's a sucky place for hills, but I gues it's better than mile 23!
I'm going to let BQing go until the fall with Steamtown.

I'm training for the 1/2 in May and I'm about to start week 6 of my training schedule and so far my longest run has been 6 miles. I'm feeling pretty good so far!

Glad to hear I am pretty similar to those doing the Long Island half. My long run was 6 today, I am getting REALLY bored on the treadmill, hoping for some better weather soon!

Re: Those training for 5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon, marathon....
I have been outside for the past 3 weekends and although it has been cold and was not able to run too quick due to the weather i warmed up after 5 mins. I am going to the caribbean in 3 weeks and that will be my 8 or 9 mile run there and I will be doing it on the treadmill indoors
