Hey,

I run 4x per week. For 3 runs I do 30 mins, and the 4th I do 50 mins outdoors.

I have been told I am a fast runner, but have no way of measuring my distance. Sure, I could spend $150 on GPS, but I am poor.

Any way I can get accurate distances ?

As well, I am in good shape, have been running for 2 years, but it does not get any easier. Sometimes my run is so difficult, and other times it's exceptionally easy.

I do not lift weights, so perhaps my body has plateaud and I need more strength ?

I have run in many 5k races, and have completed them in 21 mins, fastest was 20 mins. I strength before and after, and eat well..any ideas?
