But when I start getting above the 6 mile mark I usually cap it at 3 days/ week.

Yeah, if I start sensing that I don't have the energy, I just put the runs on pause for 2-3 days so I can come back stronger. I usually see a marked improvement on my splits too.

Pacing rather than form & stride has always been my weak point. I think all those years of track in middle and high school gave me a great base on form fortunately...but because those years I was a sprinter it didn't develop a great pacing mindset. I'm definitely seeing improvements over the past year though....which is good for my age range.

A coworker put me on to the app. I think the biggest draw for me is that the programs are supposed to be tailored specifically for you and your goals and you can tailor it to match your schedule and equipment availability. He's raving about his results after using it for 7 weeks. They also have programs that don't require any equipment.

My wife does a lot of the YouTube vids and swears by them. I just haven't found one that motivates me enough.

I really need to give YouTube another chance...you're right about it being crazy to PAY for a subscription with all these free vids...
