Whether you want to PR at your next race or just move up through the pack at your weekly run club, you have more control over improving your running speed than you might realize.
By simply introducing some basic speed work into your routine, you can reliably become a faster runner.
You won’t have to wait very long to see results, either.
“If you are consistent with your training, and you’re not facing any setbacks with getting sick or injured, every single time you show up you should be making improvements,” says Noelle McKenzie, CPT, a former D1 track athlete and co-founder of Leading Edge Personal Trainers in New York City.
And it’s not just about pace.
Speed training comes with a range of additional benefits to improve your running holistically—everything from better form to steadier performance as you age.
