Answer 2

Before looking into specific workouts or training programs, I would suggest you think about what it is that is bringing you back to competitive running and your goals in this new stage of your career. If you were a miler in high school and now want to run marathons your training will be significantly different than if you are returning to middle distance events. Maybe you want to start doing ultras. The important thing is for you to decide what YOU want. If you have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish and why you will have a much better chance of reaching your goals then if you simply pick workouts to get back into running.

Another factor in designing your training program will be the length of your layoff from running. If it's only been a few months you should have enough residual fitness to get back into intense workouts quickly. If you have been away from running for a year or more you'll need to be more conservative and take things slowly.

Don't expect your times to be what they were when you left off running. They might be slower from the layoff, but, strangely, they also might be faster - especially if you were chronically overtrained in your prior running life.

If you are rejoining a track or cross country squad, you'll probably have to speak with your coach. Have an open discussion with him or her about why you left running and why you're coming back. Chances are your coach will be happy to have you, but you will probably need to explain what you want to do. Thinking it out beforehand will help make sure you have clear answers to your coach's questions.

So sit down someplace quiet, or, better yet, got out for an easy 3 or 4 mile run, and think about where you are now and what you want to achieve. Then you'll be able to evaluate all the training programs available online and elsewhere and decide which is right for you.

Answer 3

well if your still in shape some and are ready for a harder distance workout...then set up a 4 mile tempo to see what kind of level you are at as of right now, time yourself and keep getting faster and faster at it...but dont do it that much this long of a run at a fast pace wears your body down so id say only do it every other week plus all of your other easy running days and shorter and faster hard workouts rather than that much of a distance you will see improvements very fast

Answer 4

Well it all depends on the type of running you want to do but i would say to just to read the few tips i have:
a)if you just want to do milage start low and work your way up. like at a mile and then do more and more as you get comforatable.
b) watch your form. its really important and will help you to power up hills or such plus it will just help prevent injury
c) drink lots of water everyday like a gallon of water a day
d) eat healthier and lots more foods like pasta. it will help to "fuel" you for your next days workout
e) running with somebody or listening to music helps unless you are like me and like to run alone so you can think about multiple subjects

i know i havent provided much information but i hope it helps you!
good luck with running! its wonderful!
