Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to accomplish my short term goals first... Once I do that, I will have an idea of what to expect long term... 44 yrs old now and since I've been injured free for 1 month I am jumping back on marathon training. Any recommendations for a good marathon in December 2021? What is your recommendation?

Personal:

Don't knock it until you try it.

ran 20 miles at 7:26 mile pace
First 10 in 1:09 and then I struggled my last 10 with a quad strain, it's a mild strain, just bought a thigh support, doing R.I.C.E. on it and strengthening my hamstrings! Gonna split my runs this whole week! Thank god for Vacations!!!!! got enough time ...

Nice run! Be careful with the strain...don't push it to an injury that is worse.

I hear you about vacations! Merry Christmas!

jt: yup just a mild strain that suddenly came up, I think it was the day that my hamstrings felt tight, I believe wednesday. I just went out nice and easy last night and then around mile 10 my quad got a knot and it would go off and on and then by mile 18 it was bad anyways I decided to keep it low mileage with no workouts this week, time for a recovery week ha! And yea we are on vacation! I'm a coach and we are off for 2 weeks! happy holidays to you too!

Happy Holidays Benny, great run although with a strain, yes RICE is the best answer. :)
