Forums >Look What I Can Do!>I just ran two days in a row!
I know running two days in a row isn't saying much, but you have to celebrate the small victories too.
My knees aren't the best and I am trying to prevent tendonitis and or runner's knee. It struck last fall and I am determined to get my miles up without knee problems. I started at 6 miles a week and I am due for 16 this week. Each week I have gone up by one mile. Also, I started taking MSM with Gluclosamine.
I want to make it to 25 miles a week before the middle of August because I just got the head CC coaching job at the school I teach at. It would be nice to be able to run with the varsity pain free. You gotta walk the walk if your gonna talk the talk I guess.
I write and stuff
Hey, progress is progress.
Just out of curiousity, is there a reason for running everything at a sub-8 minute pace?

Well - Since I'm not running quantity, I figure it should at least be quality.
I used to be a decent D3 collegiate runner and in my mind I am still hanging onto those days.

hah, the legs still remember what to do even if the knees aren't as forgiving
Last week I had little time to run, so when I did I was picking up the pace every time. By the weekend my legs were begging me to stop.

Quality? Are you sure? Do you risk re-injury in doing so? Prolly.
Me, I'd go easy for 4-6 weeks, gradially rebuilding mileage totals from your past year(s). Then...
I may be wrong, but I think you re erring on the side of ______? (somebody help me).

This is off topic, but how do you take someone elses quote and get that fancy box around it?
Oh - And I'm afraid to go after my past mileage totals because back then I was single. Now I have a wife and three children under the age of four.
