Pick Up The Pace.

How is your running program going for you?

I have a training feature that has helped many runners establish their track-time.

I am a big proponent to running at a slow, relaxed pace, and I still believe in that approach, but some of you who want to work on “development” can “move it up a notch”, by “picking up the pace”.

During your runs you can work on strength and stamina by “opening-up” and doing sprints.

If you run on a track you can use the “straight-aways” to “sprint”.

Just run as fast as you can, like you will miss your “non-refundable flight”, as hard as you can and for as long as you can.

Only you can determine how long and hard that will be, but I promise you, you will see results.

On the “curved ends” of the track you can slow-down, or “float”, at your normal pace.

Add this method during your runs and you will discover you are a better runner than you thought.

Good Luck!
