[quote=Anonymous]Heres our coach’s advice

Try to run 5-6 days per week, alternating between long runs, medium runs and shorter tempo runs. Start running at a comfortable pace for 20-40 minutes depending on your running fitness and experience.

·         New runners should start at 10-20 minutes (2-3 miles) per day and aim to reach 60-100 minutes  per week of running (2-3 miles a day) with the goal of  reaching 150 minutes per week (~15 miles a week ) by July 30.
·         1 year experience , start at 25-45 minutes per day (3-6 miles) with one longer run per week (~ 25-30 miles per week depending on pace).
·         2+ years’ experience, start at 35-50 minutes per day (~4-8 miles) with one loner run 60-70 minutes depending on your previous running minutes increasing 5-10% a week (~ 30-38 miles per week depending on pace and number of training days).
·         Elite/Varsity Runners, 40-60 minutes per day (5-9 miles) with one longer run 70-90 minutes (~9-13 mile long run for 40-52 miles per week).

*miles are only meant as a gage but runs should be based on minutes.[/quote]
