[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would recommend that you stop focusing on speed and distance. Just focus on time. Try to run for 20 minutes. If you can't run for that long, then you are going too fast. Slow down. Go just barely faster than a walk. Once you can go for 20 minutes, try to go for 30. Running faster gives minimal cardiovascular benefit. Focus on your time. You are also expecting too much improvement too soon. Do this type of very slow timed running for 6 months. THEN, you can focus on upping speed/distance. You won't be running at all if you injure yourself trying to go too fast too soon.[/quote] Agree. I’ve been running for... oof, 15 years now? And I can do a 9:30 min mile but feels punishing. I feel much more accomplished and happy with a 30 minute run at a more moderate pace. Trust me, nothing helps you burn out faster than trying to go too fast and injuring yourself (or hating it! Or both!) [/quote]
