Weekly running mileage is one of the most valuable metrics for runners to track. But how can you increase running mileage safely and strategically?
I wish. I started running and two months later did a marathon. I skipped years of progression that all professional athletes do before going into marathon training. Most professional athletes (the people in the highest level of the sport) start with the very short distances in high school. T...
A cross-sectional design was used to determine whether a relationship exists between the total mileage run each week and the plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration.

“My training was good,” said Kiplagat who lives with her husband and two children in Boulder, Colo. “I did enough strength (in training) and everything went at planned, so I am grateful for second place today.” She added: “I think this is a big pre...
I signed up for a half marathon, something I wouldn’t have done without our fitness challenge here, so thanks! I started with 2 miles every other day this week. On Wednesday I climbed the Equinox rock wall (on a date!) Looking to up the mileage for week #2. 1.5.18 Reply grace ...
