If so, go for that one. If hills beat you up, then go for the other one. Maybe there's a third out there that you don't know about yet that would be wonderful?Keeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699051418849331296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-26566170303299060892011-02-16T12:35:54.550-08:002011-02-16T12:35:54.550-08:00Out of curiosity, where did you find the reports a...Out of curiosity, where did you find the reports about those two other 1/2's? I was thinking about signing up for one of them....but haven't yet. I just signed up for the Lincoln not so long ago...I must have made it just before it filled up. Ugh! I'll need to remember that for next year.Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-5214093489253179752011-02-14T14:32:24.975-08:002011-02-14T14:32:24.975-08:00Hey, girl!

I would either take and add 10% to your total mileage a week for a few weeks and then keep it there, or cut a smidge back after 2 or 3 weeks, then go back to what you did last and add 10% again for a few weeks. <br /><br />The other route is to use a training plan for longer race distance, and then go back to the volume you had a week or two before your peak mileage week (after you have recovered from your race a week or a few days). You might alternate 30, 35, 25, or 35, 38, 40, 30 (rest), 38, 40, 42 for instance. If you feel like you are getting injured, you need to either back off the miles a bit, or drop some speedwork. <br /><br />Building miles and adding in more speedwork at the same time can cause problems.<br /><br />Sometimes you have to hold it at a certain volume for a while to let your body catch up.<br /><br />You could also google mileage buildup plans for marathons. Hope that helps :)Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-88621066789909204142011-02-14T05:25:06.847-08:002011-02-14T05:25:06.847-08:00Sold out? crazy.

Not sure about the shade, but maybe that could be a huge factor. <br /><br />Great workouts, BTW!

With only knowing of the other two through blog entries, I would probably choose Papillion, but hubs is working that Sunday too (Guess I need to update my race schedule). You are going to run Boystown 5 miler, right???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
