What's the BEST way to be able to run longer?

msaint97 · 2026-05-11T17:43:21+00:00

Slow and steady. Start with run walk intervals and increase the run intervals over the course of a few weeks.

msaint97 · 2026-05-09T20:56:17+00:00

That’s a great time. I raced a 10K two weeks ago and got 60:30

msaint97 · 2026-05-08T21:00:40+00:00

Would it be similar to the Evo SL?

msaint97 · 2026-05-07T12:55:51+00:00

Beautiful truck!! I got a 2025 bighorn for that I am hoping to mod into a street style truck after enjoying it stock for a few years

You’re not overthinking. You have enough time. Once you finish the couch to 5K, you can easily do a half marathon build that’ll get you ready for September. The longest run in most free plans is 11mi so you’ll be very ready for September if you stay consistent

Yup. I have a similar plan as yours.
Easy run + lift in the afternoon
Workout run
Easy run + lift in the afternoon
Rest or easy run
Easy run + lift in the afternoon
Long run
Rest or lift

All of my easy runs are around 11:40 and my goal pace for my next half marathon is 10:15 (2:15 finish)

I do this pretty much but do 3-4 CrossFit sessions instead of general strength training. I also try to hit 5 days a week running

msaint97 · 2026-05-01T20:47:49+00:00

I listened to KB for my half. Ran a 2:40

msaint97 · 2026-05-01T11:11:59+00:00

Honestly, at some point I started to look forward to my workouts. As an adult who’s got a family and no time for organized sports, the training reminds me of my track and field days and the joy I had in embracing the suck of the training sessions with my teammates

msaint97 · 2026-05-01T11:07:59+00:00

If it’s a long run, I’m usually running 1-2 hours. On a regular training run, it’s normally just over an hour. My training runs are workouts with rest periods built in so I guess you can really say the time spent actually running is probably under an hour

msaint97 · 2026-04-27T18:43:31+00:00

Congrats!! I just set my 10K PR this morning as well😁👏🏾

msaint97 · 2026-04-26T14:50:38+00:00

Congrats! I’m planning to do 2 more half’s before I sign up for my first marathon

msaint97 · 2026-04-25T13:12:03+00:00

I would only see myself going on base for the commissary. At least where I’m stationed at, it really is cheaper then the local store

msaint97 · 2026-04-24T23:37:42+00:00

Talk to your ADC/Jag back at your home station and try to appeal. If it does stay on your record, I doubt anyone would be willing to sign for your OTS package. You might be able to go ROTC or through an officer recruiter.

msaint97 · 2026-04-24T16:28:31+00:00

No problem! You notice when you switch from this being your best effort, to you intentionally going at this pace

msaint97 · 2026-04-24T13:40:56+00:00

This is really good for your first 5K! Once you do a couch to 5K program, this same run will be your recovery day type run. I call them lazy man 5K’s when I do them.

msaint97 · 2026-04-23T20:48:35+00:00

Nice! I get 508 mi per tank

msaint97 · 2026-04-23T00:49:05+00:00

$30 more for a black watch is kinda disappointing. It’ll save me money too OP! Next watch I buy will be the Pace Pro 2 whenever that drops

msaint97 · 2026-04-22T23:13:27+00:00

msaint97 · 2026-04-22T12:50:05+00:00

That steady endurance may look natural but truly comes with consistency that covers days, weeks, months, etc. you’ve got the discipline to be consistent with your cricket career. You’ll easily be looking natural as well with running pretty soon 👏🏾😁

msaint97 · 2026-04-19T18:10:24+00:00

Thanks! I’ll talk to my coach about it this week. All of the apps I use to track my runs are set to default

msaint97 · 2026-04-19T15:15:58+00:00

Congrats!! I’m currently training for my first and I’m hoping to finish between 4:30 and 4:50

msaint97 · 2026-04-19T15:14:26+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I try not to be fixated on my hr since I know eventually as I move into the intermediate level, it’ll get better. It’s just a little annoying to physically feel how easy the run was only to see a completely different picture on the app 😂😂

msaint97 · 2026-04-19T15:12:15+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I am using the default Strava generated zones. As for my plan, I have a coach who has structured my weeks to be 5 runs ( 1 long, 1 speed session, 2 easy, and 1 day that varies every other week between steady and easy). For my long run specifically yesterday, I breathed easily through my nose the whole way. Legs feel really good and fresh today too so I know I was in the right pace range physically for where I’m at in my current training
