mblnFERCr Aug 2013 9:14pm, 8 Aug 2013 553 posts	0 mblnFERCr Just applying the 10% rule for someone who logged < 50 miles last month, 14 in one go 'may' be a risk - I'm just saying.. <smiley face with 'no dramas' hands>

Revbarbarag Aug 2013 10:02pm, 8 Aug 2013 368 posts	0 Revbarbarag My first half for more than a quarter of a century, with virtually no running in between. So treat it as my first half With 3 months to go, there would be time to work up from my current longest run (just over 8) to 14 miles while obeying the 10% rule. But it would mean increasing the long run pretty much week on week... and that would be tough to maintain, I feel. I did it 28 years ago, and knackered my knee in the process, hence why I stopped running then. I'm trying to balance enthusiasm and caution.

It will be no surprise that I blew up badly and couldn't walk properly for a week. Getting the mikes done easily will make if a better experience.
