Has anyone any good tips for beating lactic build up? Have printed out the "Burn Baby Burn" sesh from RW but wondered if there was anything else based no people's own experience that might help. Would be interested in hearing from people of a similar level to me - 1.38 for half mara but really wanting to get faster with increase stamina. Also dream of doing sub 20mins 5k but the old bones can't be dragged that fast at the mo.

From what I have read it seems to be a case of fast reps with short recoveries, I am hoping to run a marathon soon in Dublin so will see iif this has made much difference.
I think this is best done by doing tempo runs(running at a constant effort). Warmup run for about 10 mins, then increase pace to between 10k and half marathon effort for about 25 mins then cooldown for 10 mins (as your fitness improves, the tempo time or pace can be increased. If you add this to your weekly schedule, it might help improve your 10k and half marathon time. Good Luck!
