just wanna share about the way i have been training for the last 8 months, it has led to a 5k PR

1`m 39 and i have been running for 12 years, my old 5k pr was 17:58 drunning around 40 miles a week on average, i recently ran 16:47 doing this:

monday to friday i commute to work running 5 miles in the morning and running 5 in the afternoon, 2-3 times a week the afternoon run is at threshold pace.

on weekends, i bike an hour on saturday and 90 minutes on sunday, i never run on weekends.

I`m thinking of increasing my weekday runs by a mile each way.

I find this method fun and effective.

Ok, so what do you need from us?

I think most of us could have told you that increasing your mileage by 10 miles per week (25% in your case) and making sure you got in some threshold workouts would help you imporve. Doesn't come as shocking to most of us.

What are we talking about 80 miles a week?
