I am a big proponent of consistent and often easy, to easyish, runs but if you want to get faster and get that PR you will need to do that "Big Workout" as David Roche shares.  This is not all the time but is specific and times appropriately.

Are you looking to do any multi-day races or adventures then Ian Corless has some tips for you

Good to see Mary Cain back running and winning a 4 mile race in Central Park in 21:50
