    Would it not be better to increase your number of miles?

    I don't run fast but I do run far. Gives me better cardio health and allows me to eat more calories.

    Tempting but I'm half marathon training so all my miles are slow :laugh:

    I want to join the Navy so I need to work on my timing rather than my distance. To train I do two miles.

    I'm working on improving my five k time after building up to running 10 k easily enough but slowly, so this is a great challenge for me. I'll add 1 mile runs to my weekly schedule, which also includes a c25k improver program and one longer run.

    Start month: january
    Minuets per mile: 11.2
