New York Times: when ramping up running mileage, 10% isn't the cap

Thank you, New York Times. You published this almost a year ago, but I'm very happy to discover it now: when ramping up mileage, the 10% rule is bogus: runners needn't constrain their mileage to 10% increases a week.

Personally, I'm still going to play it conservatively most of the time, particularly if I'm recovering from an injury. But it's nice to know that if I'm nearing the end of a great run, I don't necessarily have to cut it short.

Happy running :-)
