I did a 1 mile PR today!

That’s good OP. Mix faster miles into your longer runs too. I.e. if you run for 30 minutes, make 1 mile of that 30 minutes faster each time you run. Then you can take it a bit easier on the other 20 minutes. It gets your body used to running faster for a sustained period.

Worked for me when I trained for a 10k and got down to a 9 minute mile for the race. I couldn’t even do one 10 minute mile before I started training.

Thank you I will try this today. I do try to get negative splits on my long run.
