Getting faster

Today's run was just under 4 miles, but at times I was running at about 6.30 minute mile pace. My aim for the Marathon is to run 8 minute miles for as long as I can.

During the bad weather, I was doing long runs of 2 - 2 1/2 hours, but at a slow pace - taking 10 or 11 mins to run a mile.

Since then I've been putting more effort into picking up my speed - though the hilly terrain round here means it's difficult to find long flattish stretches to practice on.
