I acknowledge that I'm one of the world's slowest runners, but I don't really care about speed. I just want to be able to keep on going. Before I'd started boot camp, my furthest run straight through without stopping was a little over five miles in an hour. (See slowest runner, above)
I'm going to start training for January's half marathon as soon as my boot camp is over (two more weeks). The schedule that I found that I'm going to use has me running thirty to forty five minutes a day every other day, cross training with something else the other days of the week and then doing a long run on Sundays. We'll see if it works.

Not sure. more miles, faster pace, more endurance. DTB told me to go slow, and that SO helped [thanks DTB!] I've only been back into it for 3 months. I used to bang out 5 miles good pace, good time, and then I well, as TM pointed out, let myself go for a good couple of years.
So you can do boot camp but your pace is still slow? I don't mean that in a bad way I'm just trying to understand how that translates one to other........hmmm thoughts?
