shortlickens: one thing I would do is to inject shorter days in there as well. You don't want to be continuously building, like 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. You will get fatigued, and will need recovery days to actually see improvements, so I would recommend something more like 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.2, etc. Once you get up to doing several miles, you will see more benefit from having a longer run, say 5 miles, and then doing shorter jogs the rest of the week. Variety keeps things from stagnating, so also try running different paces too, once you've hit a good level and feel ready to pick things up a notch. So I would work on distance first, and then speed second. Just my two cents; others may suggest differently!
As for me, I did 6 miles yesterday and 10 today.
