Pick up the pace – Speed training
At some point in time, most runners will aim to increase their running pace. It may be to achieve a better time for a race, to improve your running economy or to feel the wind in your hair while you run along the beach through shallow water (think “Baywatch” or “Chariots of Fire” for the over 50s). Whatever the reason, the most efficient way to improve your pace isn’t by simply running faster on your training runs.
