One tempo run, one interval session, one "long" run.
Aiming to slowly increase my weekly distance (I haven't been running a lot recently and don't want to do too much and hurt myself) to respectable levels and add in another session, probably just a slow jog to wake me up one morning.

I feel like I've been at my current level for years now.
TBH I think my inability to progress has a lot to do with stress in other parts of my life. I worry too much about everything, all the time. Oy.

Nice! That's pretty much what I'm doing (I assume these are all pretty similar unless you're doing something real weird).
This is what I'm working through:

It's hard because this requires quite a bit of time, time that I don't always have every week. Like this week I'm just going to do a 3 or 4 maintenance runs, then go back to the plan next week when some deadlines pass. The week that I'm supposed to be has a number of runs that will take me at least two hours (if you factor in changing, warm up, run, cool down, shower) and I don't have that sort of time.

Stress may be a factor, I find running helps.
You shouldn't worry about not progressing for a while. It doesn't mean you never will progress, but fitness doesn't work linearly where x input -> y output. I would recommend doing some higher intensity sprint/hill repeat training. This can do wonders for your overall fitness and help increase your distance.
Are you stopping because of lack of energy, breathing problems or leg pain?

popvulture wrote:Yeah man I did some laps at a great public pool we have here over the summer, and was immediately impressed with how effective yet seemingly impact-free it was. Need to get more of that happening... doubt I'll ever give up running (as long as I can run), but mixing swimming into things would be awesome.
