Hi, I just finished my first 1/2 marathon after taking the Chi running class in Sept which was awesome.  I would like to enter another in 2 weeks and realize not to push and run for time..just wondering what kind of milage you would suggest for my runs ...should I follow the chirunning marathon book again for the last 2 weeks?..Also I used my metronome the whole time and loved it.  I kept it at 175 and felt relaxed.  I know most of the things I read say 180.  Should I strive bring the cadance up over the next year or months…

See my reply to your question about half marathons.

Thank you so much for your reply.  I love the idea about the cadence.  I didn’t think of pushing it up for only some of the run at a time.  I was trying the whole run thinking if I changed it during the run it would mess up the body rhythm.  Can’t wait to try it..  The chirunning has opened up a chapter in my life that I thought was closed.
