Following a training plan will see you improve loads - especially if you:jonesy said:What kinds of things can I do to improve it?
- put in the miles for a weekly long run
- put in the odd fast tempo run
- put in some intervals and some hill training
- train with other people as well as on your own
- put in some extra races - it's only when you race that you actually find out what your current limits are!
Good luck! Hope you have fun!
