I've been taking it slow, trying not to add too much running too soon....... or I know what will happen. I'll hurt and I'll quit. I'm up to 4 1/2 miles. Started with 2. I run twice a week, tho' as I bike less, I'll up the running days. I've been doing one day on the trails and one day on the sidewalks. I try and keep an even pace, but am starting to feel like I'd like to pick up the pace a bit. Any recommendations as to how I do that? Should I do some sprints one day of the week? I run alone, as I don't feel comfortable/fast enough to run with anyone. Maybe I should push myself more? I just don't know. I've never enjoyed running in the past, but I am now. I'm afraid if I push too much, I won't enjoy it again. I'm open to suggestions and advice. I feel like a real newbie at this running stuff.
