I don't specifically set aside days for running.

Generally I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, usually either after work, or in the afternoon on weekends (I have to admit, when I go on weekends I'm mildly hungover pretty often). I'll run/jog 3-4 miles first, then do weights.

And just to be clear, while I CAN run a mile in about 8 minutes, there's no way I could do that for the whole four miles. I pretty much have to slow down and catch my breath after the first mile and a half, and for the other 2-3 miles I alternate between fast and slow. I'm thinking I do a poor job of pacing myself.

I have to admit that's way better than when I was in high school though, I think it took me like 11-12 minutes to run a mile.

Thanks for the advice.
