  • Trying to get up to 100 miles/wk but its hurting, legs ache a lot all the time. Feel sloooow although my times aren't dropping off significantly. So HTFU and run through it or ease off?

  • Woah! You're clearly made of tough stuff but the odd cut-back week is always good even if you're used to high mileage. I've snuck over 100 miles all of twice I think, with the biggest continued weekly mileage being 80, 97, 97 (no running OCD here), 80, 100 - but off a general base of 60 - 70 mpw. If you're building up, I'd have a cut-back every 3-4 weeks, maybe down to 50-60 mpw to let the training benefit sink in and recharge the legs.

  • Cheers- think I'm addicted though, get depressed if I have to miss a run :( Have to stop looking at all the loons on strava consistently doing 140m/wk
