[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to be more specific: Are you a 25 year old who's been doing Crossfit 5 days a week for years and jumps on the treadmill for an easy 5-6 miler once or twice a week? Then you could do it tomorrow, though a 2-3 month buildup to 20-30 miles a weeks of running will make you faster and make it more comfortable.

Or are you a 55 year old who started Crossfit twice a week a few months ago and slogs through a 2 mile treadmill run every few weeks? Then you need to start focusing right away and do a 3-4 month gradual buildup, increasing your mile by roughly 10 percent a week. [/quote]

Thank you for all of the suggestions in the thread.

OP here. I am 50 and have been doing CrossFit regularly for 8 years now. I also play soccer in the summer and fall. I have played soccer pretty much my whole life. I use the treadmill to keep up with the running when I can’t go outside. I do a couple of runs a week but they are just under 5 miles. I started a running app, and it suggests that I start with shorter and faster runs, and then build up over the next few months. [/quote]

This is your answer. Just follow the plan and you will be good. Rest when you need to, dial it back when you need to, dial it forward when you feel you can, and don't feel too guilty if you miss a session. Just move on to the next planned session.
