quote:8.4MPH. Not too bad for a 42 year old doing 18-20 intervals with 30 second run and 10 second break.
Let’s just call them fast runs. You’re not sprinting like that.
I started this week doing 30 second run with 10 second break

I started on my journey at the beginning of January, just a bit before you. I was at 215 and set a goal of 175 for myself. By May I was down to between 185-190. Baseball season heated up and my drinking kicked up a notch. I spent a month or so pretty much just maintaining at that. After baseball season ended I have kicked it into full gear. I'm down to 182 earlier in the week.
The eating much healthier is just a normal thing for me now. When I know I'm going to have a dinner that's not the best I am sure to exercise more and be very careful of what I eat during the day.
I do some light weight lifting 5-6 times a week. Also started doing couch to 5k just as a way to get some running in. I've not a slow twitch person, so running distance has never been my thing even when I was in great shape. I stopped C25K when I got really deep in and it got to 20 min of running at a time. I restarted after baseball season on week 1. On the other days I lift, but don't do C25K I use my elliptical.
Not sure I'll stop at 175. I'm thinking I'll push it down to 160 or so.

Have you tried doing real sprints?
If your work/rest ratio is 3:1 .... that’s great for interval training but let’s be real..... you could push those runs WAYYYYYY harder.
