Jogging: should I increase my speed or distance?
I jogg about 4.4 miles every day in roughly 30 minutes. But I never feel 'worked out' or fatigued afterwards. Should I try to increase my speed, or should I keep at my pace (which I'm pretty happy with) and try jogging a longer distance (and, consequently, for a longer amount of time)?

Always up the mileage. Bump up to 5 miles/day. Hold for a week or 2, maybe 3. Then maybe run 7 miles one day, with the other days at 4 or 5. You run a risk of injury if you try to run too fast, or if you up your mileage too quickly. Ideally ,you would have one long run per week, which would be roughly 25-30 % of your total weekly mileage. Example: Right now, you run 28.5 miles per week- assuming you mean 7 days per week when you say "every day." So, you should run one long run of 7-8.5 miles, and run 3-4 miles the other 6 days.Workout for Triple Jump, Long Jump, MAybe the MIle for Track?

How can i train myself to run farther and faster (experienced runners)?
I used to jog, and I always tried to keep the same pace, but try to increase my distance.Either one will make you feel more fatigued. It really depends on what your goal is. If you would like to run a marathon I would definitely work on distance. But if you only have a certain time in which you can run, I would run faster, which in turn will also allow you to run further in the time allotted once you get used to it
When running, does it help to wrap.?
yea if you're running 4+ miles at a bit faster than a 7 min pace and you're not even tired you need to either go further or run a 6 minute pace. (apprx. 26 mins)Best type of underwear for running?
Well, its really depends on your goals, if you want to be a shorter run, sprint distance runner, then you should pick up your pace. If you want to do longer distance runs, you can pick up the distance. OR you could do a little of both, keep your pace for a longer distance and do speed workouts on shorter ones. The speed workouts will help to increase the speed of your longer runs over the long haul.If you are looking to lose weight, then longer runs will certainly burn more calories, if you want to maintain your muscle and just get leaner, then I would suggest shorter higher intensity training.
In any case it sounds like you are a solid runner and should keep at it. I personally run about 3 times a week, one 3 miler, one 5 miler, and one 6-7 miler. I also lift three times a week and cycle three times per week, 2 rides about 15-20 and 1 ride up to around 50.
Hope this helps and keep up the great work!

When you say Jogging, it sounds as if you have fitness in mind and not racing. Try going a little farther, working into an hour routine. Speedwork can come in the form of pickups during the runs and not be the main focus; run based how you feel.Could anyone give me a training schedule for atwenty mile run?
well what are your goals? if youre training for something then go longer. If youre just trying to stay in shape then you can try to get a little faster. OR go a little longer and try to get faster at the same time.Establish a goal for yourself, like a local 5k, and train up to it. But don't increase mileage too fast if you do this. If youre running about 30 miles a week don't go up to 50 next week.
Just some food for thought, doctors claim that the only healthy running mileage per week is around 25. You're about there now. However getting faster requires so much more than that if youre preparing for something. That's why us college kids and some pros get up to 100+ miles a week.
Good luck, cheers
