Between the TNT program and the NROL program, I have been working out my legs for about a month now. I think I will give it another month before increasing the mileage.

If you do NROL. Go light on the weight used. The leg days are no joke. I used NROL while training for my 1/2 marathon. I really give the program all the credit for me keeping pace and healthy all during training and the race. I use to have bad knee problems before running. I have only had knee problems twice since. The first time, increasing mileage with the wrong shoes and currently a little IT band issues. Mostly I think from trying to lift really heavy while still running 25 miles a week at more intense levels. I have backed off on the running and feel good. I am ready to pick up the mileage to the 20- 25 a week range.
How many days a week do you run and what is your longest run? If you do a real long run one week, do you do a shorter long run the next?
