Base building

I am restarting a running regimen which I had abandoned a few months back and was wondering if I should just stick to the 6k runs 3 times a week plus a longer (10-13k) run on the weekend ,or include some stuff like tempo runs?How long does one need to have a base building phase before starting to speed up?. I have no races planned in the next 6-7 months.I had started off training for the Mumbai half marathon but fell off the bandwagon ,mainly out of laziness and could only do a leisurely 2:44…See More

Sorry for responding so late, i hope you would have got your answers but just in case here is my advise for SAI : 

The facility is open to all with qtrly membership fee of about Rs 300/- 

The track is good, saves your knee unlike the asphalt running

The place is buzzing with activity in the mornings with lot of athletes , it is fun to be there.

Not sure what is the scene like at 8.45 AM, i am usually back by that time.

Suggest you go and have a look there, you can try to run without any membership if u just want to try once or twice.

It is a good place to do your speedwork while training for marathons

hope that helps you !

Hey Pravin, what are your plans this Sunday, Are you joining us at the Bandra-NCPA run.

Hi Pravin,
Pretty glad your son is better now.
And Pravin, whether you join the group runs or not, the fact that many of us see you at BNP is consolation enough that you're running.
So hope to see you sometime cris-crossing the roads in BNP.

Sure would like to spot you at BNP on a Sunday or on 22nd Aug.
