I'll try to shoot for 45 to 50 mile weeks for the next month and see how that works out. If my knee pain continues this week will be a sub-40 mile week.

Crossed the mileage line
I keep wanting to run more miles per week than I have in past years. Every time I work my mileage up I eventually have to step it back as I start to get injured. This running season is no different than last year. I finished last week with 60 miles and this afternoon my left knee is telling me to take it easy. My knees almost never hurt.

Wow, 60 miles is a lot.I hope your knee settles down and your able to hit your mileage goals. Wishing you good health!
Mark, why don't you try a 4-6 weeks of this:
5-6 days/week
1x2hr
1x1.5hr
everything else 30-45 min incl 1-3x 20 walking lunges afterwards.
Thanks Beth.
Patrick - nice plan. I can get a fair amount of miles in, and more importantly, some variety from day to day. What pushed me over the edge was last Friday - a 2:20 run; Sat - 1:30, and Sun 1:15. That was too much for me in those 3 days.
I'll be working with what you suggest for the next month. I'll let you know how it's going a month from today if I see you at the 10K in Copper Harbor.
