Hi koopa,
I love it! Can I steal it? I've been looking for a sensible plan for walking for a while now but because I walk everywhere and do half a mile here and a mile there I was finding it difficult. 15 miles a week is ideal.
I think maybe I shall do 15 miles per Mon-Fri with any done at the weekend as a bonus.
Thanks for the idea. I'm off to set up a new habit-cal!

Steal away. My goal is to hit it during the week, and use the weekend if I slack. The plan is to go running monday/tuesday/thursday/friday which a total session for me averages 3.5 to 4 miles. If I push myself, I hit this just with the treadmill. The wife is looking to get moving to lose some baby weight, so I've been forcing her to go on a 1.6 mile loop on our street. The last thing I want to do is walk after running for 2 miles, but meh, it helps with the mileageLinguisticsgirl wrote:Hi koopa,

Half marathon is impressive. I hope you finished to "reap the rewards" of blowing out your knees! I really have no inspiration to run a race, ATM, the best I can do is a very slow 5k on a treadmill. Things like hills annoy meLinguisticsgirl wrote:Thanks!
I'm currently rehabilitating my knees after wrecking them running a half marathon in bad shoes and I've been trying to find a sensible way to quantify my walking as I can't start any running plans until the end of September.
This is perfect, thanks again and good luck with it!

Right now, my run pace is 12/13 minute mile, but I am doing 2 minutes of sprinting at 10 minutes per mile pace. Since I am doing this mostly as a get into shape method, speed doesn't bother me much, or the fact that I can only run on a treadmill and suck wind outside.
The benefits, I had to push my brother-in-law's (he weighs 130 and is 6'2, some people get all the luck!) car and he was severely winded, but I could have pushed it farther. Its amazing the little things you can do when you are in a bit more shape.
Now, back to losing these few pounds to see a new number!

Thanks!
I did indeed finish it, and in 2 hours 15 minutes, which I was surprised by given that 6 months before I had been an unfit ex smoker who couldn't run a mile.
However with retrospect I think that starting out slow is a very good thing, that and whatever you do get your feet checked by experts and wear the shoes which they recommend! It's how I plan to start again come September.
It is amazing what running can do for you, physically and psychologically too.

Week 2 goals:
Seems 15 miles was very achievable. Lets try something a bit different.
Easy Goal: 15 miles
Medium Goal: 20 miles
Hard Goal: 25 miles
Also, I am getting a bike today, the plan is to bike to the gym and bike back.
Bike goals: 5 miles
*Note: I am not sure how far it is to bike to the gym. This may be VERY achievable. Good to start slow
Current weight: 243
Goal of this week: 239. I reached 239 on friday last week, but my parents threw me a surprise birthday party. Needless to say, some shenanigans occurred. The most awkward conversation was one of my friends I haven't seen in over a year asked me where my first daughter was...
I felt bad for her that she didn't know that she had passed away....

Week 3 Goals
Lets stick with week 2 goal numbers.
Easy Goal: 15 miles
Medium Goal: 20 miles
Hard Goal: 25 miles
Bike goals: 5 miles
Current weight: 240 (weekends are killing me )
So, while I did hit the hard goal, it was indeed, hard. I had to really ramp up the numbers a few days because I knew I would not be able to get to the gym other days. Not to mention, the 2 hour track walk... brutal
