You may not need a completely different training plan. You may simply need to make a few strategic changes to how you run, train, recover, and fuel your body. In this episode, I share five practical ways to improve your running speed, whether you're training for a marathon, HYROX, an ultra, or simply want to feel faster and stronger when you run. After going from a six-hour marathon to completing 50-mile and 100-kilometer races, including a 100K in 95-degree heat, I’ve learned that getting faster isn't just about pushing harder every time you run. Here are the five strategies I break down: Run more to build your running base Run faster with intervals and tempo work Add HIIT to improve your cardiovascular fitness Eat to support performance and recovery Quit alcohol to support your overall performance I also share how my lifelong experience with asthma has influenced the way I approach running, fitness, and endurance training. You don't have to implement everything at once. Pick one or two ideas from this video and start putting them into practice today. If you're working toward becoming a faster runner, I'd love to hear what you're trying in the comments.
