Runner's screed
That is brilliant, WFD. Literally, that is what running is all about. You keep on going up and you will be amazed how many miles you can get up to. There is a natural glass ceiling, I think, where either your age, your frame or physique or your time commitments stop you. For instance, due to my back, knees and hips, regular 6 miles plus runs are beyond me. Apart from that, you really can, with not much repetition and practice, run great distances. Your 3 miles isn't far off and, then, before Christmas I bet, you will do your first 5 miles and that really does feel like a landmark. Don't worry about the speed either.
With the aforementioned back, I have been off the running and any other exercise apart from 5-a-side every Thursday. Indeed, apart from the fact I am enormous, it is the fact that I find 5-a-side hard now when, in March, football didn't touch the sides that means that I am trying to get back to running. Did an unsatisfactory 4 miles yesterday. I am trying to redo the runs a year on from last year when I was training for the half-marathon. Unfortunately, I am not doing the boot camps weekly that increased my stamina hence the unsatisfactory nature, I suppose.
