    I don't believe you need to focus on speed until you have a stronger running base. I'm talking over 30miles a week.

    At this point, what will help you gain speed is more miles on your legs. If you are running 30 min 3x times a week, you can add one day. Then you can add 5 minutes to one of those runs. Then 5 minutes to another.

    The key is to go slooooooooow when adding weekly mileage. The general rule is around 10%. You WILL gain speed that way. Trust the process!

    Good luck :)

    30 miles a week in order to work on speed?

    Just slowly add times to your runs
    Try running outdoors occasionally if you have aspirations to run a 5k. You will find it very different.
