Training for Endurance Goals on WF
I’m tossing around the idea of doing a 25k run in about 6 weeks. Not looking to set any PRs, it’s more just for the experience & camaraderie with a few FF buddies. However, I do have a 1/2 marathon scheduled in Dec. & I'm looking at a marathon in Feb of 2026.
Over the past 6 weeks I have been increasing my weekly mileage from 11 up to 22 this past week which included 1 long run of 8 miles.
My Questions:
  1. How can/should I best utilize WF to maintain my current strength/power while simultaneously training for these long term endurance goals?  Should I combine the 3 strength days into 2 days so I can add another low intensity run adding 1mile to my long run each week for the next 4-5weeks?
  2. Or do I simply follow the entire program as it's laid out and start with slightly longer times/distances for the conditioning days on Tu/Th/Sat, while adding 1 mile to my long run each week for the next 4-5 weeks?
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
I'm really looking forward to this next 12 week cycle, and beyond
