I tried running the Route 66 in Tulsa last year, but dropped out at the half due to knee pain. I signed up for it this year within a week, basically immediately after getting an email that registration was open. [emoji2]Very good run. Do you have your next marathon planned?
I am going to take some time off of long distance running. Maybe a year or more.
Right now I'm going to try building as much speed and strength as possible, while still keeping long runs of 10 miles or so.
Basically I want to knock out some 5k's but still be able to jump into a half marathon if it suits me, and still have decent mileage to start marathon training again.
Since you're going on hiatus from long distance, are you going to focus on short distances?
