having done my first 10k event in 54:34 , modest time i think for first effort, i want to a HM in june , i am still running regularly x4 per week one is my long slow run
i say long as i have just started training for the longer distance so my long run was 13k , today i did 9 miles , just under 15k by 400 m, if i will run the longer way round my street to make it 15 another time lol
i was running at a jogging pace, i could probably talk , but was running with my dog and shes not much of a talker , i wasn't really out of breath , just comfortable effort
it took me 1:45 at this pace, which i have worked out to be 11.5 mile per hour pace or there abouts
does this seem the right aim/pace for long slow runs , next week i will go a bit further , my spaniel certainly can cope trotting about at that pace
with my shorter runs i am doing around 5k , should i be doing further now , i have no 'official' plan of training i mix about days around work shifts and kids needs
any advice appreciated

That sounds about right for a lsr if I am correct in thinking that its 11:30 minute miles and not mph
Between 10:30 and 11:30 should suit you nicely, it tends to more about the amount of time on your feet in these sessions than how quickly you can go the distance.
Sounds about right according to this
thanks guys, erm yeah not mph lol you knew what i meant though which is gd
i wll up my distances a sthe weeks pass , cheers
i like this link too , i mapped my route on walk, jog, run site and it worked out distance for me , i really need to invest some gadget to track me , my phone is so low tech
