I have a odd/beginner type question-->
Is there any benefit to adding sprints to the end of a scheduled run?
For a specific example, I do an out & back on a paved nature trail for my 7 mile runs. Often , I'll find myself running long on the way out and having .75 - 1 left over on the way back.
So I could -->
A. Turn it into a 7.75 mile run
B. Walk
C. Add on hard sprints as far as I can push it , walk , and repeat till I get back to my car

I’d be careful of over exertion on something like that. If your body feels like it can handle it then maybe try a few and see how that goes. But I’d save sprint day/speed training as a separate thing. Just my opinion. I’m more conservative.
Did my 7 miler this morning as part of the NYC marathon qualification. 55:03. Pretty pleased. It was humid. Everyone was dripping at the end. Went out hot and had to slow down to make it at the end. Pleased overall.
