I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
... But my lingering question still remains as to what speed should I be training at and shooting for? I've done a lot of work lately on changing my pace around. Yesterday, I was running 8:15 comfortably. Today, if I pushed 8:15, I know that it wouldn't go as well, so I'd like to hit about 8:45. I know I want to listen to my body, but with looking at a marathon in the spring, to PR, and not just PR, but reach my full potential, I know it takes serious training and being smart. This is where my inexperience hurts me...

Starting hitting 50 miles per week consistently
Not only does it take more in the weeks leading up to the marathon, but there is a major cumiulative effect of being consistent virtually year around.
Not at it at all.
