Run 50K in 9 to 10 month's?

[RunD1987]

Well I am not running the 50K. Would rush my training plan for the marathon planning to run in July. I'll probably run at most 28 miles for my long run.

Right now in what I would call Phase 2 of Half Marathon training. I am going to peak my weekly mileage at 34 and long run at 16 miles.

From October to December going to build on strength and stamina by increasing length of my medium runs. Going from running 4x6 mile runs to running 4x10 mile runs. Also will be a lot of tweaking in the fall and a lot of double running as only able to run 4 times a week. Also going to focus on strength training and add a 3rd gym day.
