Episode 19: How to Run Faster!
Most runners want to run faster - it's one of the most common questions we receive as running coaches. You can find tons of advice out there on how to run faster - and not all of it is good advice. We are here to help you; in this episode, we take a look at the evidence on what actually helps you become a faster runner.
We also answer a listener question about when to stop strength training before a race.
Discussion Points Include:
The outsized power of strides and hill sprints
The impact of running volume/weekly mileage on getting faster
Does strength training help you run faster?
The importance of patience and trial and error in training
The trap of too much specificity
Why rest days and cutback weeks are essential if you want to run faster
How to safely incorporate all of these tips into your training
Why not eating and sleeping enough is holding you back
