Hmm, well I told you I took the personal trainer course recently and have been hearing this a lot about how long distance isn't the way to go anymore. HIIT is much more popular for losing weight and increasing your Vo2 max. Even if you alternate, doing intervals could help up your performance if not kill you, by all the smoking you do.

walking is better though

Great sweety! Trist eh.

I have been running for 30 years now. I used to run marathons and ultras here in South Africa, but now just run for my own enjoyment.
One of the easiest ways of improving your pace is doing hill reps a coupe of times a week.. Nothing too tough to start with, run a 20 min warmup and then find a nice steady hill section of about four to six hundred meters.. Run up at fast pace that you can maintain and then jog slowly down to recover. Start of with about four reps and try and ensure that your first and last rep take the same amount of time.
Gradually build up the number of reps as you get stronger at it and you will see how your normal running pace picks up.
