Hi Ed
My problem is that I'm struggling to fit in the time to do the easy runs. Previously wasn't doing a massive number of miles - checked my stats between Sept & Feb and it varies between 15 and 23 miles per week (generally a couple of mid length runs (6-8 miles) and some hill intervals).
I've played field hockey for years and did running as fitness and now I'm keen to park the hockey and step up the running. The only running constant is that I've done the Great North Run for the last 10 years, in an average time (in both senses) of 1:47.
In terms of longer runs, I've done an eight mile run once a week for the last 4 at an easy pace Av HR 145 in place of a number of the easy runs. On Sunday I did the 1Ãâý hour easy run in the hills of Northumberland - due to strong winds and hills I only covered 9 miles though.
I've got the 1000s tonight and plan to aim for under 4.00 per km.
