I have an unexpected window to run during the day tomorrow. A work thing has been cancelled leaving me with some time I don't have to account for.
I reckon I have 90 minutes to run.
So, my options are:
a) 90 minute run - start slow but maybe a progression element from 60 minutes onwards.
b) 75 minute run plus strides
c) something else.
I look forward to hearing the Letsrun wisdom.
Why people believe that all should know whole information about their lifes and trainings ?
I answer C.
Spend 90 minutes on something that will advance your career or benefit society instead of your silly hobby.
Aren't we an angry lite boy. Mommy started charging rent for the basement?

The wisdom here is a 45 minute run followed by two quality beers of your choice.

I like your thinking. I ended up doing 70 minutes then strides. Nice off road route - undulating woodland trail followed by out along one bank of a river then back along the other side. 4 strides to finish.
Two Newcastle Browns planned for later on.

Good Choice! However, I'd just down them soon after running.

In my first experiment with high mileage, I'd do a 2 hour run each day and rehydrate with two cans of Stella Artois. Surprisingly enough, I acquired a stress fracture after a couple of weeks.
My next foray into high mileage followed the same pattern of running 2 hours in the am, but had two pints of Guinness before bed. The only times I cracked 15 minutes came straight after this period of training.
These days I do HIIT-style circuit training one evening per week. I drive straight home afterwards and frequently have a couple of generous glasses of Chateauneuf du Pape. No water or protein shake nonsense involved. It's working.

I hope that was cracking 15 minutes for 5K and not 2 miles. Of course cracking open another Stella or Guinness is always a good idea. Faster times through alcohol!
