Thank you.

Just start out small. I started running again a little over a year ago. I would run a treadmill mile to warm up at the gym, but hitting the streets is much different. The 1st run I did was a 5 mile mountain trail with a friend and I couldn't believe I finished however I could barely walk for a week. I started running solo and would make a goal of 3 miles.. then on to 4 then 6 then to 8 now I'm doing over 10 miles on a run. Just start out small. If you run a mile, you're a runner! Speed and distance don't matter as long as your lacing up and getting out there. Running is a full body work out, so switch it up with days at the gym to build muscle.

I can run 4 miles right now. I was going to put myself on a training schedule

M, W, F run 4 miles; Sun, Tuesday Thursday weights

Saturday
increase run by 1 mile per week; so week one will be 4 miles and week two 5 etc…

What is the max miles I need to train for? When we did the century rides we never rode more than 85 miles at one time before actually doing the 100 miles.

My problem is I hate running on a treadmill, so I will have to get some pepper spray. It's dark out when I can go.

Yea running at night is sketchy and tread mills are boring. I mainly worry about getting hit by a car. I'd start with 3-4 miles 2 days a week. 1 day of sprints. Get on the treadmill, put it on ten and go for 15 seconds then walk for 30. Do this 10-15 times. You can also do this in the cardio classroom at your gym. 1st just go for a run. Then whatever is sore the next day is what you need to focus working on! My knees are kinda shitty so I try to ice them after every run.

My left knee is shitty too! Putting a treadmill on 10 is likely gonna have me on the floor behind the treadmill. I'm 5' tall, my legs work harder.
