Need Advice

[Deleted User]

Hello my name is Samir and I am 18 years old and i have only recently taking an interest in running long distances. I have been active all my life and would like to try something different and hopefully stick to it. I have ran 7.3 miles in 1 hour recently but I beleive that I have the potential too do much better. Can someone with more experiance give me advice on how to improve the above and what level am I currently at. Thank You

The best way to mprove is structured training.



If you can, find a local race that gives you a target to work towards and find a specific training plan that suits you and execute it.
