Forums >Running 101>The Long Run...Questions???????
First, just let me say I am sold on the long run theory. But I have a few questions. 1) Do you ever get nervous about new mileage (got my 1st 10 miler this weekend)? 2) How much walking is permitted before you realize your goal was too much? 3) On new mileage do you even worry about pace or just find that "cruise control" and go? 4) Any other tips and advice for a newbie to the "long run"?
