I re-started running March of this year after a taking 2 years off, with the goal of doing a Marathon. At my peak I was running about 70k a week. I ran a half in Sept in 1:47 and I ran the Marathon mid Oct in 4:01. I was pacing for a 3:45 for the first 30k then lost my legs. I should note I quit smoking this July.
As for my week I travel from time to time but I usually run wherever I go. I play hockey on the weekends, could be fri, sat or sun. I usually go out with a running group for 5.5k on Tuesdays and/or Thur at a very easy pace ~6:30-7:00 which I consider more social then training. So I was considering doing both my training run and the running club on the same day but training in the morning.
I have signed up for race on Dec 2nd which I would like to break 45 as I mentioned before my previous best was 49:25 but that was during a training run.
