In reply to TheDrunkenBakers:
Thanks for the replies folks.
To qualify, there is no particular aim other than 'improvement'. This could be across a number of indicators - weight loss, increased miles per week (I'm up to 23 this week and add 1 mile per week where possible), increased speed and increased endurance.
I would love to get back to my pre-injury capabilities - 5/6 years ago which was 21mi 5km, 43 min 10k and 1.36HM although time isnt on my side I realise - 45 - but I suffered badly during a HM and have a 15cm mesh in my groin holding bits together.
Im enjoying the running at the moment but dont want to get bored by simply doing my usual runs in the usual way. For those I follow in the UKC Strava club, it seems some of you have some great running on your doorstep.
I listened to my body - yesterday was a bit aching but today felt good - but the last thing I want is another injury as I get really grumpy when I cant run but I feel really good when I beat a segment or do a route a little quicker than last time.
