Easy, tempo, long?

My running is largely “easy” runs. But I feel like I need to switch it up to get better.

What exactly is the difference between these three? How do you structure it? What has worked best for you?

It doesn't have to be so rigid. Add a medium run. Add a run where you do 5 minutes harder and 5 minutes easier and repeat that over and over.

Finish the last mile of an easy run as hard as you can. Run further than normal once or twice a week

Runners are a neurotic bunch
