Okay. Have been working on my long distance as discussed previous with relative sucess - I can now run 5.5-6.5 miles every other day without seriously caning my legs. To do this I have had to slow down a bit, but obviously once I have reached a point where I am satisfied with my distance I will be okay...
The trouble is that distance is ALL i have been doing. And a few days ago I did a 1.5 mile run and found that it took under 10 minutes which is about 6:35 per mile whereas a few months ago I was running 3.5 miles and getting just under 6 minutes per mile. It seems I have paid a price for neglecting speed training...
So can anyone reccommend a routine that would remedy this while allowing me to keep long-distance training...
