[quote=Anonymous]Some people run for time.....some for distance......as long as your running that is all that is important.

If you are trying to up your pace though I will say something that did it for me was two a days. I would hop on the treadmill at work and crank out two or three miles then do a quick two or three after work. When I got back to running outdoors all the time I found my times had dropped significantly. I think it had to do with the constant pace of the treadmill versus the ebb and flow of running outdoors.

All that said, run your own run man. Not everyone is a speed demon. Anytime I begin to think I am blazing it I will end up crossing paths with someone that rolls by me like I am standing still. When I first started running I was happy to complete a mile in the 12:30 range and now I am pretty solidly in the 8:20/30 range. I still have off days occasionally where I am back in the low to mid 9's. What matters most to me is that I got my run in not how quickly I completed it. (for the most part)
