I had to admit that as a graduate I now have 3 different runs I like to alternate between. I have a longer 4 mile run that I mapped out. I'm not bothered about speed, just completing the run. I have my 5k route where I aim to complete it as fast as possible. I also have a 2.5mile route which is for interval training and I alternate my pace between lamposts. Lastly, I have a measured mile and occasionally time myself if I'm feeling energetic enough to think I can beat my PB that day!
