Like you said, "make every mile count". Sounds like you're going in the right direction by incorporating a speed workout, a tempo run, and a long run as your basis of key workouts. <br /><br />On the long run, I would:<br /><br />Make sure you get several 16-18's, and after warming up a couple of miles, run them at MP +10%.<br /><br />On your 20+ runs, make sure you run at MP for a portion of these runs.<br /><br />I can't wait to see you succeed!<br /><br />PsychePsychehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111613946462318300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988469873257504931.post-88372575705784528832010-01-29T17:46:16.628-05:002010-01-29T17:46:16.628-05:00I would run three (or four) 20+ milers before Bost...I would run three (or four) 20+ milers before Boston and several 16-18 milers. As far as what to do now? I would run 16 but I would listen to my body too. Is it an out & back run? If so, you can adjust your miles accordingly.<br /><br />The most important part is to NOT over train and/or injure yourself before Boston.<br /><br />I'm sorry, but I can't sympathize with you being under weight. Never had any problem being "under" weight.<br /><br />All the best with your training.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />RonPunkRockRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532411836716339642noreply@blogger.com
