did I read this right, you ran 3,7,5 then 15? that would make your long run 50% of your total weekly mileage? I've found (after 10 years of marathon training) that I do lots better when my long run is less than 30% of my total. Not saying it can't be done. I would skip the speed and go for more miles. You will also find that when you've been at this longer it does get easier, consistency REALLY helps... please let us know what you decide and how it works out for you...
