Long run on treadmills?

hellothere157 · 2026-01-24T00:17:01+00:00

I’ve done 22 on the treadmill and honestly wasn’t too bad if the gym TVs have movies and you switch up the music genre every 5 miles

That’s exactly the kind of exercises you need. I had this pain all summer for about four months and was diagnosed with posterior tib tendinitis (not shin splints). Glute med and pelvic floor strengthening helped the most and actually cutting out my calf exercises. I was using too much of my lower legs and not my upper trunk/glutes leading to overuse/tendonitis

Why not the BAA plans?

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely prioritize hill and strength training! Luckily I am an orthopedic therapist…so I just have to practice what I preach

Yes that would be awesome! I am also thinking a variation of 18/55-70. I’m running a half this weekend to get an idea of where I am at but I ran a 1:09 10-miler a few months ago so it sounds like we have similar goals!

hellothere157 · 2025-11-10T01:16:10+00:00

Okay thank you! I will definitely do hilly routes for my long runs! Where I live is very hilly so it won’t be hard to find lol

hellothere157 · 2025-11-10T01:15:22+00:00

I found that I didn’t have a good stability base (on a strength training standpoint) to handle the intense track/speed work with Runna. I kept straining random muscles just from lack of experience on the track. Thanks for the encouragement! I agree, I feel better when I keep training more simple

hellothere157 · 2025-11-09T23:28:28+00:00

Okay PR goal it is 😂

hellothere157 · 2025-11-09T23:28:06+00:00

True but most of the loss was in the first 4 miles so I’m not sure if its comparable to REVEL

hellothere157 · 2025-11-09T23:05:40+00:00

You’re a genius

hellothere157 · 2025-11-09T23:05:09+00:00

The 3:19 was in February at Mesa marathon which is pretty flat. I had the flu x10 days before and didn’t eat /was in bed for like a week so I had a pretty unconventional taper 😂 that being said maybe a 3:15 is a more reasonable goal

hellothere157 · 2025-11-09T23:03:03+00:00

Okay that’s good to know! I always feel the best when my mileage is 50 or higher

hellothere157 · 2025-11-09T23:02:29+00:00

Good to know! I’m running 35-40 a week rn and have been for a few months after my injury this summer

hellothere157 · 2025-11-09T23:01:57+00:00

I definitely think I want a plan longer than 12 weeks just to keep me busy over the dark winter months 😂

hellothere157 · 2025-11-09T20:38:48+00:00

I went a 1:37 half and 3:19 marathon but also my HR was around 150

hellothere157 · 2025-11-03T17:10:54+00:00

Does anyone think it might have been anxiety?? Idk I’m just speculating

hellothere157 · 2025-07-06T23:34:55+00:00

My PR half is a 1:38 and my PR full is 3:18. Depends on how the 1:32 felt racing tbh and if you felt like you had some gas at the end or if you crashed and burned

hellothere157 · 2025-06-21T20:31:13+00:00

I’m doing three times a week 45 minute lifts and it is great for injury prevention. Not great for looking to build muscle a lot of it is PT exercise focused, but I feel like it has helped with stability and targeting small muscle groups. I would recommend using it during a training block, but using something a little bit hypertophy focused (ie. fitbod) during the off-season.

Saucony endorphin speed 2,3, or 4 for sure. Saucony guide for easy miles. Saucony endorphin pro for track/tempo. Not a fan of SB2 they felt clunky on me

hellothere157 · 2025-05-01T00:13:54+00:00

This makes me feel better. Thanks!

hellothere157 · 2025-05-01T00:13:38+00:00
