AW and a running question

[Deleted]

I ran a mile in 10:25. I lifted first so I was tired. When would you increase the distance? Should I run the mile a couple more times then increase?

Increase 10% each week.

Thanks!

Yes, but the 10% rule applies to weekly mileage....& she has to start somewhere, or she won't have anything to take 10% of.

OP, I'd do the mile a few more times until it becomes a bit easier. After that, I'd take it to (if you can comfortably do it) 1.25, 1.5, etc. Just see how you feel. You might be able to do more, you might be able to do less. Each time you increase, do that new distance a few times before you add more.
