10 miles on the treadmill at about 7:25 pace average. Feeling a little under the weather. This seems to happen about once a month lately. Thankfully it usually doesn't get any worse.

Thanks to both of you! I think I need to get an updated picture on the blog.

How many times a week should I do speed work? I usually run 3 times on the weekdays with a longer run on the Saturday. I usually run 3-4 miles on Monday, would that be a fair distance to do my speed work or should I make my "medium" runs be speed work? Thanks!

Hi Jodee. I'd say starting out it would be good to keep about the same # of miles each day that you have been doing. And I'd say starting out you'd probably want to do only one speed session per week. Once you've done that for a few weeks, then you could throw something else in (maybe hills, tempo run, etc.). So if you are running 4 miles for the speed session, I'd suggest 1 mile warmup, 0.5 mile at 8:00 pace, 0.5 mile at 9:00 pace, 0.5 mile at 7:45 pace, 0.5 mile at 9:00 pace, 0.5 mile at 7:30 pace, 0.5 miles cooldown at whatever pace feels comfortable. Those paces I mentioned are just ballpark numbers. You have to see how the paces feel to you. Then as you gain experience, you could increase the pace and/or number of repetitions.
