New user 4 |  Subject: Just starting out myself...so I'm a newbie. Not really sure how much I will progress or how fast. I did some running last night, I did two 1000 meter sprints(about .62 miles) at 6.0 miles per hour each with 4 minutes of light jogging between. The next time I run I'll try to do 3 sprints of 1000 each until I can get up to 3.1 miles of consistent running w/o the break. I'm wondering if 6.0 miles per hour for 3 miles is fast enough to be competitive? Curt |

I think there are a lot of people in the 9-10 minutes per mile range, so you would be just fine with that. Best of luck with your training! Kelly |

Veteran 275 San Diego, CA | Subject: RE: Just starting out myself... Sounds like a good plan, but remember the 10% rule, do not increase your work outs more than 10% per week. This will prevent injury and allow your body to accept the change in routing more readily, and the endurance/cardio result will stay with you longer. |
