Problem: My training plan has the longest run at 10miles , which is a distance I have never acheived . In fact , my longest run was 8 miles and that was last summer when I was running a lot more than I am now .

- To make me spend more time in the activity .
- To get me to run as much as last summer .
- To let me jog slowly for miles .
- To guide me gradually to reach my goal .

A: To guide me gradually to reach my goal .
