One of the biggest mistakes I see runners make is ignoring specificity in their training.
If you want to run a PB at your next event, you need to be ticking off event-specific workouts from two months out.
What most people do is a random mix of volume, ambiguous intensity often referred to as “speed”, some group runs (typically grey zone), and then a couple of workouts they found online from Strava, social media or a free plan… that they never followed.
The truth is…. You don’t need to work on your speed...
...because marathons aren’t fast.
