I took second at USATF Nationals Cross-Country when I was ten. I was 6th at nationals in the 3000 in 2004.

Personal:

I did lots of competitive running growing up. I'm now 23 and have fibromyalgia and CFS. I just finished nursing school and am going back for my MSN in a few months, but I want to get back in shape and be able to run again.

I think you are taking a wise approach increasing the mileage very gradually. It may be too cautious, but it is better to undertrain than overtrain. Keep posting reminders for us to take a look at your blog every couple of weeks or so or when you feel the need for feedback - now with some many people it is hard to keep track of who needs help.

Sasha thanks not sure if your aware i have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome so i have to build really slow have you ever worked with anyone with a similar situation

From Sasha Pachev on Wed, Jun 12, 2013 at 12:05:38 from 69.28.149.29

Breanna - I have never worked with anybody with your condition. So watching you deal with it is a learning experience for me. I do anticipate, however, that the universal principles of stress and recovery apply the same - you must find the frequency, volume, and intensity such that by the time you are starting your next workout you feel at least as good as you did when you started your previous one. More precisely, as soon as you feel as good as you did before you started the previous workout, you should start your next one.

And, of course, you do what you can to maximize the recovery. Which could very well be some extra sleep if your body can take it. Minimize the stress to the extent your circumstances permit, and eat the healthiest possible diet.
