Ramping ip the mileage too quick?

Focusing more on the bike, I only ran 156 miles in July, August and September. In the first 10 days of October I have run 50. Worried that I might be escalating the mileage a little too quick. Last week I ran 24. This week I ran 31, a 20% jump. I know the rule of thumb is to increase by no more than 10% a week, so I broke that rule. The difference is I've cut the bike mileage by 40%, so my legs aren't hurting too bad.

Maybe I'll run another 31 next week to offset this weeks big jump, and then go to 35 the following week before an easier back down week.
