RUNNING FASTER - How to Run Without Getting Tired

I did exclusively slow runs for 3 months, and while it definitely helped build my mileage and aerobic capacity, it added 3 minutes per mile to my pace that I'm still chipping away at. It's almost like a door is closed in my body/ mind... I know I still have speed on the other side. I just can't get the stupid door open! I'll try these tips.

I’ve been in the habit of finishing my easy runs with a bit of tempo or stride pace for the last fraction of a km. This might usually just be the last 400m. Don’t know whether this is good practice but at my age it’s both reassuring and fun to know I have some ability to turn on the twitch muscles. It gets me well into zone 4, that’s after about an hour to 90 minutes of zone 2 running. It’s not like going out of the blocks, an explosion of effort, like a sprinter (I can’t risk that nowadays); more like a gradual steady acceleration from zone 2. It keeps me enthusiastic, puts a smile on the old face during cool down.

Thanks James! Great video & very informative- been trying to get more stride work in!!👍

Brilliant advice ….going to take it up. With all the info you’ve given . It should keep the pesky injuries away . Thankyou 🙌

Amazing thank you 🙏

Good advice thank you

Good video, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Question. My watch tells me I'm in zone 3-4 but my breathing and body is in conversational zone(2) which should I follow. I often would stop running because my watch would tell me I'm in the higher zone. I'm 43 and just started running last year. Most of my runs are slow runs. Suffered a few injuries too.I'm now integrating swimming in my workouts. It's not for races but mainly to keep myself fit.

I'm just jogging for the aerobic strength at a pace that for short runs, there's no tiredness, but at longer distances like 1 kilometer, it's a little tiring. Is it correct, or do I need to change?

In short race like 100 to 200 m I have no match but in long race like 400 m My speed becomes constant nd i can't accelerate anymore...what to do?😔😔

Are you running on a cinder track between 4:55 and 5:05, if so, where is it?

Running doesn’t give me anything but lung capacity. It’s just a show up on how I worked on my legs at the gym 😂

I never saw so many people with a horrible running technique in a Running video

A video about running, and all these stock vids with prior running with awful form 😂

Just breathe on your nose and close your mouth that's the easy run.

Losing weight 😂 get alphaflies

When I'm running for hour at the gym track I go all out on my final minute. When it starts getting warmer I'll work on my speed again

I only found out I have a place for London a few weeks ago... I had just started a base phase with a view to doing some longer (marathon and maybe ultra) races this year, but had to shift to marathon training. It's a shame I didn't have more time!
