Getting 1.5 time down.

[Fent]

I've managed to get my fitness up so I can run it non stop but the time is awful. It's currently 14.42.

My fitness is fairly basic

Monday : British Military Fitness

Wednesday : BMF again

Thursday : 1.5 mile best effort and 1.5 mile back.

Saturday : BMF

This is very basic but it's worked but it's like I'm just plodding along now. Any ideas of stuff I can throw in there? I know this question is probably asked a lot but any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to add in a longer run (start with 3 miles and increase it) on one of the days, maybe alternate it with intervals, so for example if your route has a stretch with lamp-posts, mix up some sprints, jogs, even walks between them.

I do live near a good 5 mile stretch of path/grass with plenty of lamp posts. I've been wanting to add a 6/7 mile run in and maybe swimming.

I managed to knock 40 seconds off. I did the 1.5 in 14.02 and then the 1.5 back, 3 in total 28.19. On the way back I was sprinting two lamp posts and jogging one, I honestly thought I was going to throw up on my shoes lool
