Day 2 - Question
So I was running jogging this morning, and a training question came to mind. How does one train for running a certain distance in a certain time? Should I always run 3.1 miles and just go faster as I get better at it? Or should I run fast and then increase the distance that I do each time? This morning I ran one mile at my "fast pace" and then slowed it down for the rest of the run. Am I better off being consistent throughout the whole distance? Advice please.

When I was training for a couple races last year, I gradually increased my distance without worrying about my time at all. As I adapted, I ran further and walked less even as my distance increased, therefor making my time better. Then when I started to feel pretty comfortable with the whole running thing, I started challenging myself to pick up the pace. I don't know if that's helpful, but that's what worked for me.
