The last episode answered the listener question, "How many days should I run?" That answered the question for someone at the very beginning of their running journey, but the answer is different for a beginner who is six months along. This episode answers the same question for that runner but also explains how to build running mileage even at three miles a week. It explains the strategy of how to safely and efficiently build mileage, how many miles to build up your running mileage base, and how and why to incorporate the once-weekly long run.

Getting this right will make the beginner runner's journey much easier, much more comfortable, and lead to health instead of injuries.

In this episode Deb explains how often a beginner runner should run while also providing the reasoning behind the plan. Understanding this reasoning is key to any runner's long-term success.
