But, I listen to my body...sometimes, I think I listen too closely as I often slow down before an injury happens.<br /><br />The Good: I'm mostly injury free (knock on wood).<br /><br />The Bad: I sometimes think I ease up too soon during an event.woggingtortoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305486128431558274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-39662440823412119502011-06-22T21:50:29.342-07:002011-06-22T21:50:29.342-07:00I didn't read the article (yet!) but how many ...I didn't read the article (yet!) but how many were in the study?

I guess I've always believed in the premise of the 10% rule, since if you increase your mileage or pace dramatically during training runs it seems to increase the injury rate. Not sure if I believe that the exact maximum increase each week should be 10%, but people should not be doubling their mileage each week, that is just asking for injury. It seems like your legs need to get used to going on long training runs, and get used to the pounding. If you are doing huge mileage and fast pace without having your legs being used to the pounding, seems like you likely will get injured. Seems like most training plans follow the increase 3 step 1 in terms of mileage. <br /><br />Curious as to what others think, since I definitely am not an expert at all regarding how many miles and what pace is safe to do.Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613262056157769496noreply@blogger.com
