    Also, if your training runs are feeling hard, you need to slow down.

    My current mileage for long runs is about 5/6 miles and regular runs are about 3miles which is my comfortable run length. I have a 7 mile coming up in a about 10 days. I’m using the Nikepro running program trainer.

    Run slower for the longer runs
