Right I went for a couple of shorter runs today despite being drenched with a cold.
Loving this running now
Is there a method for increasing my distance or do I just try and up my longer runs by a half mile each time?
I try and do a few short runs a week and one of at least 3 miles.
The old rule of thumb was to not increase the total weekly distance by more than 10%.
It depends on the individual, how many times you train, type of session. But you could do:
MON: sprints, hills, HIIT.
WEDS: tempo run or 5x4 minutes with 2 mins rest between.
FRI: long slow run, 'talking pace', if you can do 3 miles then see how you feel (as per @myleftfoot1978) but don't overdo it and as shite as it sounds you need to listen to your body.
