[quote=Anonymous]Been runner for 24 years - now in forties - 4 kids. I don't look at all like a runner and didn't start out fast - probably slow. But Age 29, I got to sub 7 min without much effort on 10 mile. (those were the days!) Compared to Early 20s I think I was fairly slow - 8min pace best at race. 30s - but generally slow bc of having kids. . 40s getting faster again - right now a 7.30 min pace on a 6 mile run, faster at shorter. For me building speed came from 4 things. Speed intervals (2x a week), aim for 20 miles per week, and intense weight/core workouts (2x a week) and enough sleep! - all of which I really enjoy as stress releasers. I used to do more mileage (training for marathons) when I was young - bc I had the time, Now I don't have the time, but generally do shorter really intense workouts. The last 2 years, the weight work really pushed me over the mark for speed without long mileage. [/quote]
