get in miles. However, I agree that it's wise to place more emphasis on aerobic running for time, and less on running for distance or speed.
Cheers,
Negative on the distance part. We've been down this road before. Distance is relevant, but not completely. The boost to your metabolism only happens with LS runs, doing it fast takes too much out of the body to allow the steady boost that burns fat over the other 23 hours. It has been proven that runners burn more calories even while sleeping, than sedentary hogs do, but this only occurs after LSD runs, at least that's how it effects me. It seems to hold true with all my runner friends too, so it's not just me. Try this, set out to lose 5 lbs (not easy for a fit runner whose already in shape) and try fast runs until you lose oit. Next gain it back, then do the same thing doing LSD runs instead of fast runs. You'll see it'll take much longer to lose the 5 lbs running faster. Try it.

Consistency is an excellant goal.
Agree.

Those times and improvements point more toward the gains of a beginning runner than towards any specific training method. Don't stop because of my comment. If you feel your training works for you, that's more important than other's

opinions. But your experience will be different from others.
Partly attributable to beginner level training in the sense that it was the first time I upped the mileage and intensity but I've been a recreational jogger for years. I disagree inso far as interval training is concerned. Interval training is the PRINCIPLE reason for the gains! Also, the point is implied: beat the heat, save the knees, train indoors! It will translate on the road in speed & ability to pace.

I don't know where you are, but around here (northeast Ohio) those times are in the lower half in most races. Upper third is the 8minute per mile or better. So I'd like to know what

events you run. Maybe I can take a road trip and win a trophy! Or at least, upper third is what I call the front of the pack. If 10minute pace is front of the pack around you, I would easily take a
trip. Heck maybe even movce there.
I hope your attention to detail is better in your professional life! Pertaining to times in placing in

So, if you consider a 5:15 mile slow, placing in the lower half of the race, then join the OLYMPICS! (Not 2 miles, but 1 mile!!!)
You are right, I misread the 2mile time in particular. I thought you were still quoting your pace time, not the total. I bow to your speed. I got the impression you were a biginner and I stuck to it. just shows how the mind filters out facts when it needs to. 8^)
