<human>: **Preface:**

40 year old, smoked a pack a day from age 16 to 38.

I'm currently at 17.1 mpw, running in a 2,1,2,1,0,3,0 pattern five days a week (1x=1.9), with my 3x run being on Saturday.

I've been increasing my mileage by .9 mpw every 3 weeks since Christmas.  

**Question:**

The problem I'm about to run into, however, is one of time.  At my current speed of ~10min/mi I'm not going to have enough time during my lunch hour to change, run those 2x days, shower, and get back to my desk during my lunch hour.

How much benefit do I lose (or possibly gain?) by splitting those 2x days into two 1x runs, one at the office and when back at home.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: My miles are increasing faster than my pace, and so that means my total *time* spent running per day is increasing, while my free time isn't.
