A Saucy Wench
3. Should I throw in speedwork once a week or just focus on increasing my mileage until I reach my goal mpw (25 - 30).

I'm touching your pants.
60? If I waited until 60 mpw before I added a tempo run, I would have been slow as molasses. For a recreational runner, particularly one doing 5ks and 10ks, I'd say this number could be lower.
I dunno, I got a lot faster doing long slow runs and nothing but and then throwing in a race now and then. This can be debated forever
