[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my mid-40s and am running on a more regular schedule and getting into the groove of it. I've run a few 10ks and 5ks the past 6-8 months and I'd like to improve my speed. Right now I'm averaging an 11:20 mile which I know is on the slower end, but I'd like to get it under 11 and figure out appropriate splits. What does it take to get there? I alternate running and Peloton (bike) 5-6 days a week and normally my runs are like 2-3 miles, unless I'm working up to a 10k and I'll throw in a 4-5 mile run once a week. I usually do Peloton run workouts and throw in hiit or their interval runs from time to time. Is it just consistency that builds up better speed? OVer the past year, my speed has improved quite a bit so I'm thinking consistency is key and I've never been this consistent in the past--would run a 5k and then put running aside for awhile, but over the past year (and I think having my tread now helps), I am consistently logging 8-9ish miles a week.
