Train yourself to run faster by becoming an avid runner. This might seem a bit of an odd strategy, but instead of focusing on awesome ways to run faster, focus first on developing the habit of running regularly. What does “becoming an avid runner” exactly entail? More specifically, it means that you should be running 20-25 miles per week. If you want to train yourself to become faster, you must be running at least 20 miles a week. Think you can do it? If by that measurement I have not discouraged you yet, you must next use interval training to increase speed. From research on running, it appears that interval training will help you to increase your foot speed, build your VO2 Max, and make your distance running at faster paces more comfortable. When your distance running pace become more comfortable at faster paces this means you are getting into better shape. A good interval to adopt is a mix of running, walking, jogging, slow walking, and sprinting. A good sample workout would be: 1) run one mile at an easy pace 2) The stretch after you are warmed up 3) Run another mile after at about a 15 seconds above your previous pace 4) Jog slow for two minutes 5) Cool down walk for five minutes 6) Stretch. As previously states, if you want to train yourself to be faster you must first be in the habit of running 20 miles minimum a week. If this interval training sounds a bit much for you to handle at your current fitness level, focus on being able to run 20 miles a week first, without regard for pace or time. Once your at the fitness level of being able to run two to three miles non stop, try and adopt the described interval workout into your regiment. Over time you will see your times start to decrease.
