Running for time versus distance

Rachel Klopfer · January 22, 2017 5:57PM

I am worrying that I am not running far enough. I am slow, so an 80 minute run doesn't get me much more than 8 miles. I know there are others hitting 13 miles with these prescribed workouts. Should I still stick to the time or should I run a little further? Thanks! Rach

@Rachel Klopfer -- Patience young grasshoppa. You have a long time until the volume requirements stick. What's more important is the quality, and the consistency. You are building a crazy strong engine right now...and the time to turn it up comes in May, according to your TSR!

I'm trying my best (to build that engine). Definitely feels different at 47 than it did at 35!

Thanks!

No crap!! You are still awesome...it just takes a bit of time. You are doing the RIGHT work, and that's the most important thing!
