That&rsquo;s farther than I&rsquo;ve ever run — my longest efforts so far have been half-marathon distance — and the date matters less than the manner: I want to arrive there <strong>without getting injured on the way</strong>.</p> <p>That ordering is the whole plan, really:</p> <ol> <li>Don&rsquo;t get injured.</li> <li>Don&rsquo;t regress.</li> <li>Reach the goal.</li> </ol> <p>A slower, healthy path beats an aggressive one that breaks down. If the build needs more time, the date slides before I do.</p>
