So I do jogging\running on the gym treadmill as my main cardio method - on a good day, can go 2.5 miles or so at 5 mph pace (which is a decent jog for me - bottom heavy, not tall, short legs, probably not great running form). Problem is, I seem to be stuck at that run distance w\o either having to switch to long walking intervals or tiring out completely.
Guess my question is - how do I go about 'breaking through' the wall I'm stuck at? I try to mix in hill and fartlek days, but I just can't seem to maintain any sort of quicker pace over a 6-7 mile run.
5'10, 247ish (but with a decent bit of muscle mass, and hey - I started at 360 2 years ago)... do I need to just focus on losing more and more weight and rely on the reduced exertion that will come with it? My goal is essentially to just be able to keep up an extended run at 6.0 mph pace or so. Thanks!
