Except he's completely right. You should only be running that much if you're going to run a marathon in the future or if you're currently in Track & Field/a sport and plan on competing. Otherwise, you're setting yourself up for a lot of health problems in the future. You said it yourself that you have no interest in doing a standard marathon so what's the point? You can get faster without pushing your body like this.

LambChop knows what he's talking about given the nature of his fitness posts so take his advice. Hell, he can probably go into far greater detail if he really wanted to. I'm no slouch either as I was in Track & Field from high school into college before I slowly started to switch to powerlifting. You need to be way more careful. You talked about praying for no knee pain after one of your runs in the last topic. What do you think is going to happen if you keep this up?
You ran track in college and agree with LampChop that one should not be running more than 2-3 miles without being a professional athlete with a trainer? Or that you should not be running 9 miles unless you are training for marathon? I have built up from 15 miles per week to ~33 per week since December. I would like to know what kind of distance program that your college had if there were even 1500m runners who did not have a 9 mile long run in their routine.

Yes, I was experiencing ITBS pain for about 3 weeks - which I recovered from by not doing speedwork and incorporating hip/glute strengthening workouts into my routine. I have not had any pain since.

Please, post a link to your track results, so I know you're not full of shit. Here are mine:

Happy to discuss further.
