I don't see a problem. Just call it a day if you have to stop to push back in some intestines or poo.I had a hernia for years. Doc said I should maybe get it fixed some time but wasn't too concerned. It's above the weiner, not below.

Ran a 10k in June (3 Viewers)

This. Keep it simple and consistent and you'll be surprised at how much easier it gets. Don't run a single training run faster than conversational pace.Just run regularly. 3-4 miles, 3-4 times a week. You will make massive gains at this point simply by running consistently. You don't need to worry about "running fast" in training.I'm new to the thread and basically new to running. I ran a 5K over the weekend which was only the 2nd time I've ever participated in a running event (I ran another 5K 15 years ago for some corporate event). Other than training for these two runs I never really ran longer than a basketball or football field. In those 15 years my pickup basketball and football participation has diminished to zero. My wife and some of her friends wanted to run the 5K as sort of a bucket list idea so we signed up 3 weeks before the race. The first time I ran I could only go 1/2 mile before having to walk...And I was only able to run the full distance during training 4 times before the event. I was able to finished the race in 35:09 which I was pretty happy with considering I was basically a slug 3 weeks before the event. I know that time sucks, but I was happy with it.I'm considering another 5K with the goal of breaking 30 minutes. Any recommendations on how to properly train for this goal?

rascal and Steeler - hey there, guys. As noted, the couch-to-5K works, as do the Higdon training programs. Higdon offers a lot of good advice. Be patient and just get in some miles. As you get comfortable with the running, if you have any kind of hills around it's good to do some repeats. Same with a track. Don't overdo it, but legging out some short intervals will help build the legs and lungs. Pick a shoe that's comfortable - it should basically feel right as soon as you put it on. Keep us informed! You guys dealing with this winter weather like some of us or are you in milder climates?

I live in Florida and the current temp is 62 @ 10:10PM... so the weather is not a problem
I am planning to run 3 or 4 miles twice a week for a while and see how that goes.

Better to run 2-3 miles three times a week than 4 miles twice a week. You really need to get at least three per week in to see much improvement, imho.And I started with the Couch to 5K myself, so I'm all for that plan.I live in Florida and the current temp is 62 @ 10:10PM... so the weather is not a problem

Ran 14 in slushy, slippery snow yesterday and managed just under 9-minute miles. Zero push-off, more like pushing UP and then forward (like jumping through tires). Anyway, it was a good workout and good for building mental toughness, but today my quads and hips are sore. Just 5 recovery miles today, and then another 12 miles tomorrow. And wouldn't you know it, but we're supposed to get another 4-6" of snow between tonight and tomorrow afternoon. Oh, joy....

Any lunch ideas?I usually run after work and find myself concerned more with ingesting large amounts of calories over eating healthy with a proper carb ratio. My go to lunch when I have a challenging run scheduled is a Little Caeser's pizza (minus a slice or two) but I'd like to be a little healthier than that.

Healthier than pizza?
! Pizza = the Food Pyramid. You likely need more carbs prior to a run as well = I'd add the other food pyramid.

I have 15 miles tonight. If I had your lunch I'd be walking by mile 6.

Im an odd one in that I don't really "carb up" too much.I generally watch my carbs during the day a bit because I get enough here and there through dinners (kids love pasta and rice so at least 3 times a week we have something with pasta or rice).
So my lunches are usually some leftover grilled chicken with black beans and a little cheese...or something else with some chicken and veggies.

I usually do a 12" chicken breast sub on wheat from Subway (no cheese). Spinach, black olives, pickles, and a little bit of yellow mustard. Pretty healthy, and a decent amount of calories.

Yeah, I do footlongs too. But you must have missed that Subway thread the other day. People were basically saying Subway subs were posion.I usually do a 12" chicken breast sub on wheat from Subway (no cheese). Spinach, black olives, pickles, and a little bit of yellow mustard.

I have Planter's peanut butter, jelly, bread, veggies, a homemade chex-mix with raw almonds, walnuts and peanuts, fruit, Silk and V8 in the office and tend to eat all day. So some days I don't really do "lunch", I just never stop eating. For breakfast around 8:30 I have a western style omelette, bacon or sausage, oatmeal, french toast, coffee, fruit, cottage cheese, and OJ. By 10 I'm snacking.'Juxtatarot said:

I like the approach of you and FUBAR ...eat like an elk (graze through the day), and avoid the big meals. I tend to have too many big meals, but I got the same skinny gene as Juxt. I tend to keep some almonds in a desk drawer for my mid-morning snack. Lunch is typically a PB&J and some yogurt at home.

You shut your blaspheming mouf!The making of a PBJ is an art and not to be trifled with. On the right bread, with the proper amounts of peanut, butter and jelly there is no better salve for the soul.

There are two things in this world that make damn near everything they touch better: bacon & peanut butter. I've been working on the list for damn near 50 years, these are the only two items on it currently.
***ANNYONG NEWB REPORT***Well ahead of my goal for 500 miles this year. Got 46.5 deep in January. Already have 15 miles down in February, after a year-best 6 miles yesterday. On pace for 606! Feels good man. Anything I should know about increasing distance? In January I would have one long penis run a week (5 miles). In February I am increasing my long run to 6 miles. Am I increasing my mileage too quickly or is this okay? I'll hang up and listen.
sho nuff
Footballguy
The standard has generally been to not increase your "weekly" mileage by more than 10%.So if you were running 10 miles per week, adding a mile to it would be fine.I think you could easily increase to 6 then 7 and possibly 8 miles for your long run (if other mileage stayed constant) in February.

I wish it was that easy.

Still on the shelf. My doctor's father had a stroke, so he had to reschedule me for next Tuesday. In the meantime, I'm just trying not to get too restless.

What Sho said. Adding one mile a week right now is all you should be doing. You should also have one speed run per week(i.e., intervals), and the number of intervals should be slowly increasing with that as well. How many days per week are you running?_____________________________
My Update:
I officially started my cycling training yesterday. I haven't had a real ride in months, and the weather told me it was time yesterday. I got in 18 miles, at 20.7, in approx. 10 MPH winds. I'll take that for a starting point. I likely won't be training hard on the bike for awhile, but I do need to get back at it.
Tonight is P90x Legs and Back, followed by ab ripper and a 2 mile run.

It's starting to sound like "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" around here.For all the zaniness in this thread through the years, this is one of the oddest twists, I must say. Anyway, yes, add more mileage carefully.

Though, you shouldn't forget proper tempo either. 180 beats per minute.
