Hi,
I am a 40 year old male and have been running for about 18 months now. I generally run for about 25-30 mins 2/3 times per week. I guess I cover a distance of about 3/3.5 miles each time.
My problem is that I don't seem to be able to run any further than that. By the time I finish my 'circuit' I am absolutely spent of energy and can't run any further, even though I would like to able to increase both the distance and time that I run. What should I do to achieve this? Should I walk for 5 mins once I feel I can't run any further, and then continue running after that for another 5 mins say?
Any advice would be a great help.
Thanks in advance.
Nick
