[quote=Anonymous]+1 on intervals. Run, jog, walk. I’ve been running for YEARS, and I’m going to tell you that still the best way to increase speed is speed work. Marathon runners don’t just do marathon lengths. They do short distances with speed to increase their leg turnover. So.. walk 1k. Then, run light posts. Run as fast as you can for the span of one light post (or electrical pole, or whatever). Then, recover by jogging lightly, even if it’s your slowest speed, or walking briskly, for the next 2-3-4 posts. Run all out again for the next one. Recover again for 2-3-4 (depending on your ability). The running will feel hard, and you may not feel completely revered by the end of your 2-3-4 stretch, but it will get easier, and your recoveries will become shorter, and you’ll get faster. Add in another light post. I also have ALWAYS run the last part of my run all out. It’s something I learned from a competitive runner - always finish strong, as the end is coming. [/quote]
