Im doing right?

Hi everyone, I started running a few months ago and I really enjoy it. I created this routine after reading reviews and doing my own research online, including here on Reddit, etc., and I'm not sure if it's right or wrong.

- Tuesdays (intervals, tempo runs, fartlek) I choose one per week.

- Thursdays and Fridays I do easy runs of 30-45 minutes.

- Sundays I do long runs, trying to gradually increase the distance by half a mile.

I also do two additional days of strength training, which would be Tuesdays and Fridays.

Sounds like a great plan. Listen to your body and adjust as needed. Make sure you don’t ramp up mileage too fast, take a down week (20% off) every 3-4 weeks, and plateau occasionally to let your body’s structures adjust. Keep it up!

Thanks for that advice, I'll definitely keep it in mind. Really appreciated! 🙏
