My legs always seem beat up and higher mileage kills me. Does anyone have advice on how to not get burnout and feel terrible when I start racing? So far I’m only 2 weeks into training and I went 20mi easy then 25mi w one hill day and a 7 mil long run, any tips?(also it’s not my easy runs being to fast)
Easy jogging, slow down the pace for a bit when you increase your mileage. If you read why I sucked in college he talks about how on his easy runs he would sometimes get passed by hobby joggers.
I run 8-830 pace already (17:5x 5k last year for reference)

Wait, you're only doing 20-25 miles at a week at a 8 minute pace and your legs are sore? Wow, just wow. Remember and embrace what Percy Cerutty said, " Pain is the purifier. Love pain. Embrace pain."

Back off a bit in week 3. Then back up. You'll feel better after six weeks. Burnout won't happen as long as you don't race your workouts.
No not really it’s just last year I burnout, and this year I did one medium session over hills and I felt a tinge in my quads and don’t want it to happen again.
