Hey there! I don't really have any advice except the 'normal' stuff. Don't incresae your miles too quickly, alternate your long runs so that you have one 'easy' long run a month (I cycle through 10, 12, 14, 16 in the beginning and by the end I cycle 13, 15, 17, 19). The lower mileage one weekend gives your legs a much needed break. And don't forget to eat enough. I knew nothing about running nutrition when I first started, and really had a rough time until I figured it out. Mostly, I responded to talk about plyometrics. I've been doing it once a week with my husband for 10 weeks. I have to say that I haven't noticed a difference in my running. I haven't gotten faster, looser, or stronger. In fact, my (already weak) knees really suffered for it. I am going to quit doing that one, and stick to something else. Yoga and stretching, on the other hand, have done wonders for my strength and flexibility. The warrior poses especially really strengthen the leg muscles. Good luck with the training!
