Steady progress
3 years ago
Since I started running again at the end of August, after an illness, my pace has dropped from 13:00 min/mile down to 11:30.
I’m doing fairly short distances, 1-1.4 miles, and trying to get out 5 days a week or so.
I’m trying to build my distance up, too, by 10% a week. I don’t know if that’s contrary to the goal of increasing my speed, but it seems okay to do both for the moment.
I think speed intervals are key. It builds muscle and endurance, and it just seem to get my body used to the idea of running fast.
