Monday: 6 miles easy
Tuesday: 7 miles easy
Wednesday: 20 reps x 200m 30 seconds rest @ 30 secs faster than 5k race pace, 6 reps x 150m 1 min rest @ 400m pace
Thursday: off
Friday: 9 mile long run
Saturday: off
Sunday: Tempo run, 3 miles @ 30 seconds slower than 5k race pace followed by 3 miles easy after long cool down
I've went from 188 to 175 lbs so that is pretty disappointing. I would like to be larger not smaller but to be a good runner you need to lose alot of weight.

Yeah. You are hitting the running a lot harder than I am. My schedule last week:
Sunday: 8 mile run on trail. Easy pace
Monday: Lift in morning, no afternoon.
Tuesday: Spin class in morning, Afternoon 3 mile run. 8:49 pace
Wednesday: Pilates in morning, Afternoon 25 mile paved ride.
Thursday: Lift in morning, Afternoon 8 miles run on pavement. Easy pace.
Friday: Morning: Mobility, stretching, foam rolling. Lunch: 7 mile trail ride.
Saturday: Lift in morning. Afternoon 9 mile run on trail. Easy pace.
I mainly get stiff when I push pace on shorter runs at this point. I'm not on any set schedule or program. Just enjoying going out and running and kind of making up routes arond our town as a I go.
Also on 10g creatine and 2.5mg tadalafil daily as only supplements.
