    I usually eat a cookie after I run 5k.

    Slowly building your endurance will net you the increased speed you seek.
    Look into B210K and then look into some of the half marathon programs after that, soon you'll be going after that 26.2 miles. :bigsmile:

    I too am at the stage where I can run 5k and the furthest I've jogged is 6.4k. My 5k is pretty slow and I want it to be 30 minutes or less.

    My current plan of attack is to increase my endurance over longer distances. The theory is if I can last for 10k then my 5k will become faster.

    I think it's because when I was only running 5k I was budgeting myself for those 5k. If I run 10k on a regular basis then I won't feel scared about running faster on the 5k.

    Hopefully it works :)

    EDIT: Pretty much said what others have said already LOL! I agree with running outside. It's harder physically at first but it's easier in other ways. The change in landscape helps with keeping a mental note of your progress.
