\u201cThe Young Man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions\u201d wrote Oliver Wendell Holmes.\xa0\n\xa0Coaches, Experts, Friends and Fellow Runners all seem to agree that \u201cslowly and carefully ramping up your mileage\u201d is a reasonable approach for our training. Just as the mighty oak begins it\u2019s life as a weak and tiny acorn, my return to the road has to be rooted a slow and cautious increase in miles and duration.\nA tree isn\u2019t ruled by a ten percent growth rate.\nI\u2019m not trying to convince you to follow or ignore any rules\nbut I do think that we should train with the patience, strength and persistence of a tree.\xa0\nMaybe, the best way to increase my mileage is to just get out there, running down the road ignoring time and space, and focusing more on living my life the top.\nLinks:\nThanks to Coach Jeff Smith for sharing his thoughts on training and the 10% rule.
