Hi all,
I've been around for a while but had a lay off due to an op. I have been back running a while now albeit on a aimless basis and I would like to change this.
My goals are to improve my park run PB which is 26.19 at a hilly course (462 out of 519) and I am told that I can take off about 2 mins for a flat course I am not sure how accurate that is but I'd much rather concentrate on improving my home PB. The other thing is I would like to run a half marathon and maybe the full marathon at some point.
I have roughly been following this:
Tuesday run is done in the evening and Thursday is a morning.
Tues - running club they will do an easy 5k although there are 3 different groups so I can go in a quicker group. I have a roughly 0.8 mile run to the start so I end up around 4.5-5 miles.
Thu - 30 mins typically around 3-3.5 miles
Sat - Park run 5K
Sun - Long run currently up to 6.6 miles Mixed terrain and takes in some hills. I am increasing mileage by 0.5 each week and dropping back to 75% of last distance every 4 weeks.
What should I do / more less of and what sessions should I look to increase pace or should I even bother at this stage and just up the mileage on the Sunday?
Any thoughts would be most welcome
Thanks
