"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that."
-Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder

Heh, when I say slow I mean it - I jog at the same speed as I walk, pretty much. I asked a smiliar question a while back: http://runners.dreamwidth.org/11289.html Well, not too similar, but there is some interesting discussion in the comments and there's this really great post on how to get faster: http://runners.dreamwidth.org/10130.html

I think the consensus seems to be that if you run for longer you automatically get faster, so one shouldn't worry about it, while interval training at that level of training could potentially hurt the bones (since I have a chronic disorder of the joints I have to be really careful about that). Maybe I can tell you how that works for me when I start to run more :)

Thank you for the links :-)

I won't worry about it then. It makes sense that just practicing more will increase one's speed, and you're right, we definitely should be careful of our bones and joints.
