I never actively took this approach, but based on my stats, my distances increased each week without my realizing. This time, I'm putting together a spreadsheet and giving this more thought.
So over the past two weeks I had been running 3.3-3.4 miles per session - with three sessions per week that's roughly 10 miles. So this week if I want to increase my mileage by 2, I should plan to run about 4 miles in each of my next three sessions?
