Reid is better at the internet than 90% of us. Not you though, Dev.

You relate the things you half really feel through shtick becsuse you can't be vulnerable.

You're right, that's what a lot of schtick is, but this is the running thread. A place to share the joy, pride, frustration, victory, failure, and shoes of our running experience. The board is full of places for us to schtick, but not here babe.

I would like to get to a 10k by the end of this month, but I just don't want to overdo it and burn out. Done that too many times. Feel like a good goal next week would be something closer to 10-12 miles with some time doing short runs on my barefoot shoes (which need very low mileage lest I burn up my calves.)

Any advice appreciated here. Should I keep pushing past 15 mile weeks til I get to the 10k run goal or give myself a "down week?"
I say unless the 10k goal is really important to you, do whatever seems most sustainable to you long term. Running > not running. The longer distances will come eventually.
Got that 10k this morning. Felt great aside from some heavy, muddy shoes after stepping thru a construction site on mile 4.

By the end of it I had a little left but not near enough to run the loop for a second time to get 13.1 if I wanted to. So I guess getting my endurance to that point is the next goal. This is, by a large margin, the most frequent and farthest I've consistently run week-to-week. Big deal for me.

That being said, I"m going to find the discipline to scale mileage back a bit next week but still try for a 5 or 6 miler in there somewhere. Body needs a short rest.

I started incorporating cycling and planks a few weeks ago, but what I've gained in running consistency I've blown off in every other exercise. I can't stick to it.

Hey ghost, have you checked out Altra's Torin 5 yet? Reviews look a lot like what you were looking for after your Rivera debacle. 28mm stack and lots of cushion, with that sweet Altra toe box and zero drop goodness.

Probably going to grab a pair after my Kinvaras go the distance.

Preemptive post about going for a run this morning. So now I have to do it.
