Determining Skill-Level

You may be wondering how to rate yourself when it comes to running. You may be asking, "How do I compare to this blogger?". Well this is how. Go on a short three (3) mile run at a medium pace and time yourself. My postings and mileage are based on what I do (ex. 5:50 - 6:10 pace = medium run). Hard runs, like tempos, will be paced at roughly a 5:30 pace; these runs shouldn't be much further that four (4) miles at this pace. The easy runs aren't really paced, they are for recovery and base mileage (ex. Long Slow Distance runs (LSD runs)). If the pace is too much, I suggest adjusting the your pace and cutting a mile or two. Keep following for more running info and tips now that you've determined your skill-level!
