I have become Death, the destroyer of electronic gadgets
"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
So I've run 2 halves and a full in the past 2 1/2 years. I have my next half coming up in a week. Anyways I can run a mile in about 6:15, a 5K at about 7:00/mile, a 10K in about 7:20/mile, and my goal is to run the half at about 7:30/mile. So far I've run a 14 miler at 7:45/mile in training last week, and ran an 11 miler at just over 7:30. Anyways in my first half, I trained for about 5 weeks and finished at a little over 1:44 (7:56/mile). When I run, I always push myself and attempt to run at the fastest pace I can handle for the distance. The problem is that I usually under train and don't quite meet my goals. In my previous training runs, I only averaged about 15 miles per week. For this one coming up, I've been running between 25-30 miles per week. >Anyways I always hear about the weekly mileage, but I know people who run 2 to 3 times as much as me, yet they are running 9-10 minute pace. What is the real benefit of running 30, 40, or 50+ miles when training for a half marathon? Is it about preventing cramps and fatigue, or about increasing pace? Why do some people who run so much never improve their times? Whats more important, pushing yourself to run faster paces or the amount of miles (quantity vs. quality)?
