Re: How to increase speed
I'm facing similar issues. Just approachign end of w8. I use Runkeeper as well as getrunning. they can both work together. RK can be configured to give feedback as often as you like it includes pace (ie minutes per kilometer) and speed (ie kilometers per hour) as well as plotting th eroute on a map and giving distance. I find I run fateer up to about 15 mins then my pace falls off. I've just joined the free http://www.runnersforum.co.uk/ and there seems to be loads posters on there - from complete starters through to super-marathon iron men and women! It might be worth joining and getting some tips. Maybe see you there? Mike

Thanks for the RunKeeper referral. I like having pace and distance information as well as coach Clair's encouragement.
