I'm 54 and 7:30 pace feels like 7:00 pace used to feel. I'm not OK with that. I think the cause is reduced mileage which I'm doing to try to extend my running life. Knock on wood I have no hip or knee issues at this point and would like to be able to run til I'm 100. I run 4 miles on a treadmill descending from 7:30 to 6:30 or 6:00 minute pace. then 5 or 6 on Thursday between 7:00 to 7:30 pace. Sunday is longer from 10 to13 miles but usually much slower because I run with my friends. maybe 9 minute pace.Is the Sunday run hurting my fitness or do I need to add a 4th day of running? The goal is to run a 1:30 half.
