7 miles sounds reasonable. I personally like to do a short run the day before a really long run to keep things loose, so another option might be to do something like 5 today and 2 tomorrow. Good luck on the 20 miler!

Ben, don't mean to hijack your post but I have a quick question for you. I was looking at your goals for the year (our 5 and 10K goal times are similar as well as our ages and weight)...how close are you to a 6:00 min mile? I would think that if you're able to run a mile that fast coupled with the endurance to run 20 miles that you should be able to blow through 25:30 with zero problems.

2008 Goals Don't attack the guy that passes me like I'm standing still when I think I'm running fast...I can't catch him anyway and I'd just look silly

lol...yeah the 6 minute mile will probaly not happen this year Big grin

. I ran a 7:07 about 4 weeks ago, I think I could bust the 7:00 minute mark right now. but yeah I ran 3 mile workout last week at 23:56, so I think I can to...only problem is that I will not run a 5K before the marathon I am running...will run a 10k in Sept though.

You'll crush the 10K goal. I think a 24:00 5K is about a 50:00 10K. You should shoot for sub 50!

As long as it's not a trail run.

Ben, I'm curious... you mentioned in another thread that you are a Galloway runner. When you talk about your 5k and 10k PRs are you doing walk / run in those as well or do you only do the walk / run on the longer runs?

And who am I anyway?
Just another fat jogger, evidently.
