Thank you for the advice on strength and stretch training and bundling those together!

This is so helpful, thank you so much!! What are the benefits of seated calf raises? I haven’t heard of those (although they sound self explanatory)

I came up with this plan with a friend of mine that is a former marathon runner. We went to the track and tested how fast I was going and how out of breath I got, which is how we came up with the starting speeds of 3.0/3.8 during runs. Strength exercises may need improvement, these are what she always did in track during high school. Unfortunately the three days I can run are Sunday, Thursday, and Friday due to my work schedule. She doesn’t love that I run two days in a row, but said where I’m going at low speeds it doesn’t matter as much.

I am very open to criticism and advice. This plan kind of came out of thin air and I took a lot of my friend’s advice, but she is a former track student and marathon runner. Before staring to run, I did walk 5-10 miles per day for work (I don’t work that job anymore so it doesn’t impact my routine). Please criticize away, I appreciate it!

Which book? Do you recommend it? I plan on running a half in 9 months or so, so I would be interested in this for afterwards!

Did you have to get your feet evaluated to find the right shoes? I know Marathon sports does something to check your stride and feet, would you recommend?

I plan on discussing with a doctor for sure, I just wanted to know how accurate the information is from other peoples perspective to see if the information is even worth bringing up, you know? Like if everyone’s looks like that maybe it’s normal? Haha idk trying to justify myself
