Anyway OP, what distances do you typically run and at what frequency?


Thanks for the informative post.

I started running about 7 months ago and am just now getting over 50km a week consistently.

I generally do these over 5 days with one or two easy doubles and a long run ~15-18km (though I haven't been able to do that very consistently yet).

I seem stuck around the sub 42 min. mark in the 10k so I'm cutting out intensity and trying to up the kms over the summer months to build a bit of a base. Quite a few big 10k races around here in the fall so that'll be my target. Hoping to be consistently under 40 minutes by that point.

Which marathons did you do? Get a chance to do the Seoul, Gyeongju, or Incheon international ones? They look amazing.


If you never ran before, the pace you are own will lead you to injuries. Thats almost sure.

If you ran before, ignore what i just said.

If you are relatively new to running, I suggest this book for you: Running for Mortals.

Great running book for beginners and experienced runners alike.

Same to you and I hope this becomes a lifelong habit!

Great way to keep fit, clear your head, deal with stress. however, you need to learn to train well to avoid injuries or what shifty said with regards to knee damage.
