Good point Ross, I normally only do one tempo run per week, Maybe every 2nd week I will have a go at a 4 mile or 5K PB but the main thing is I only run every 2nd day so it's 4 days one week and 3 the other week...

Sounds good Joe, It's just about getting the right balance! Tho that seems to be working Great for you!
It's nice too see Improvements so fast!
If your up for a half-marathon challenge then come across the water to my Local Half In Stranraer On Sat 5th June.?

Well done yet again Joe!

(I'll just copy and paste this message every other week or so as you're improving at a marvelously steady pace!)
