Do you do any interval training for increasing your speed or is it usually an even paced longish run like the 21k you ran that you forms the basis of your pace ?judgement
thanks

@Dsylexic: To really admit it, I have never got myself to really do those intervals, as much as I want. So, what I try is just to go for even paced runs, and upping the pace gradually over months. And since I have a few race experiences behind me, I try to judge what would be good for me depending on my shape on the race day.
