[quote=Anonymous]Agree with 12:02 and some others - everyone is different. Some people have great endurance, some have great speed, some have neither but they're getting out there anyway. Let's face it, most of us are not kenyans doing sub-5 minute miles, marathon distance. In my teens I wasn't especially fast - same with my 20's. I actually got faster in my 30's, and my 40's have been pretty awesome, speed-wise. (less awesome in terms of soreness. ow.) I've found that a key to getting faster, if that's a goal, is that running faster than your usual pace can be uncomfortable. Discomfort (not pain) is where gains can be made. When a run feels hard to me, it is often because my pace is faster than usual or my distance is longer than I'm currently trained for. If you push the speed or the distance (assuming you're healthy enough for this), without being afraid of a little discomfort, you might be able to get faster.[/quote]
