This week, I decided to talk about 5 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: a question that came my way a lot over the 6 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: last seven days. So many questions actually came in after 7 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: that mile time trial, that mile recap episode from last Wednesday, 8 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: and the biggest question of them all, how do I 9 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: get faster? It's something I've chatted about a few times 10 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: on the pod before, but never really have given an 11 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: explicit answer, and so today I have the three things 12 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: you need. 13 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: To do to get faster guaranteed. 14 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: Also, if you two are running a virtual New York 15 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: City marathon within the next. 16 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: Couple of weeks, firstly, good luck. 17 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: Secondly, if you have a root planned, if you have 18 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: some strategies and tips.

There 57 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: was a time for me that running a mile and 58 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: under ten minutes would have felt like a small miracle. 59 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: It was something that was so totally out of my wheelhouse. Now, 60 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: as I spoke about in last week's episode of Hurdle Moment, 61 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: definitely check it out if you haven't done so yet. 62 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: Fast for me, now, over ten years later, is breaking 63 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: that six minute mile barrier. 64 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: It's running at that sub three. 65 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: Hour and thirty minute marathon things again that once I 66 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: could have never dreamed of. Over the years, time and 67 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: time again, I've gotten message after message and email after 68 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: email asking me how did you get fast? How do 69 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: I get fast? And so, before I offer you my 70 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: three fool proof tips, I do want to just say this. 71 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: It's important to celebrate the fact that you're getting up 72 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: and out there at all. The fact that you are 73 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 1: ready and willing to invest in yourself, that you care 74 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: about yourself enough to give yourself this time to lease up, 75 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: to get up, to get out. That's really special and 76 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: that in itself is certainly something. 77 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: To be proud of. 78 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 1: Now when it comes to picking up the pace, Okay, 79 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: my first fool proof tip to picking up the pace 80 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: is to pick up the pace. I know it sounds 81 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: kind of silly, but in order to be a faster runner, 82 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: you need to run faster. That means that if you 83 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: have a goal, for example, to run a mile in 84 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: under ten minutes, then in your training you are going 85 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: to need to hit speeds that are sub a ten 86 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: minute mile. Let me break this down a little bit more. 87 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: Of course, that doesn't mean that you will go out 88 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: there and day in and day out aim to run 89 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: a full mile at your goal pace, not at all. 90 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: What it does mean is that you should be incorporating 91 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: speed work in shorter intervals into your regular programming so 92 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: that you can feel what it feels like, to taste 93 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: what it feels like to hit that sub ten minute pace. 94 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: So what does this look like? I know you hear 95 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: this and you're like, okay, that sounds great, but what 96 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: do you mean exactly break it down specifics? Okay, So say, 97 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,559 Speaker 1: if you either have a track that you can use 98 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: or perhaps you're just running in your neighborhood, If you 99 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: are aiming for that ten minute mile, and of course 100 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: this number can be whatever you want it to be, 101 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: then maybe you'll do a workout where you're doing one 102 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: minute on, one minute off at that nine to fifty 103 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: five goal pace. And you don't need to be doing 104 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: this for twenty minutes or so. Instead you could be 105 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: doing one minute on, one minute off for six reps 106 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: and that can be a really great workout. Now the 107 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: next question, what do I do on the off reps? Well, 108 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: you can either walk, you can jog, but again, there 109 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: should be no emphasis on speed whatsoever in those off reps. 110 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: By flexing this muscle, by trying it out and feeling 111 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: what it feels like to run faster than your goal pace, 112 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: you are teaching your muscles. You are developing that muscle 113 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: memory and pushing the envelope so that you can get 114 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: more comfortable with the uncomfortable. I would say that running faster, 115 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: for sure has been the biggest change of all that 116 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: I have really made over the past few years, and 117 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: I have seen huge, huge gains because of it, not 118 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: just again in that one mile time trial, but also 119 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: in the marathon and well everywhere else. The second fool 120 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: proof tip when it comes to running faster is finding 121 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 1: the right gear. I now have like three to four 122 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: items in my run faster toolbox, so to speak, that 123 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 1: I cannot imagine my life without, and I'll tell you 124 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: what those are in just a second. But what I 125 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: will say about this is that it took a lot 126 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: of trial and error to find these goldilocks items. It 127 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: takes the guesswork out of some efforts that already feel 128 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: hard enough. Right if I am getting up and heading 129 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: down to the track or going out for a run 130 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to pick up my pace, I already 131 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: have enough to worry about. I want a pH on 132 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: the task at hand, and so by knowing what to 133 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: reach for, by knowing what makes me feel my best. 134 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: That just takes one less thing to worry about. So 135 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: what is in my get faster toolbox? My personal toolbox? 136 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: Three different bottoms For me, wearing the right bottom has 137 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: always kind of been the hardest part about figuring out 138 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: what I like to wear when I run. My go 139 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: tos all of these linked in the show notes. My 140 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: Wollaco Woman's biker shorts. Obsessed with them, multiple pockets, one 141 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: big enough for your phone, one big enough for your 142 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: cards and keys. 143 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 2: Can't say how much I love them. 144 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: They're simple, a great compression fit, and they don't write up, 145 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: which is my biggest critique. 146 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 2: On ninety nine point nine percent of running shorts. 147 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: Also, I hate to do this a run short that 148 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: has been discontinued from Lululemon called the Train Times Short. 149 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: I just love the material. 150 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: And lastly, another Lululemon favorite, the All in the Right 151 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: Places Tight, which has great pockets, a good high rise, 152 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: and feels just comfortable but applicable beyond just the ladies here. 153 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: My other gear picks for running faster are my suite 154 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: of sneakers that I lean into for this, So three 155 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: of them to name drop here, first, the New Balance 156 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: eight ninety. They are a super light sneaker. I wear 157 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: them often for my tempo work and it just feels 158 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: like something effortless, kind of like a second skin, super lightweight. 159 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they're super bouncy, so to speak, but 160 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: they just make me feel fast. A second go to 161 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: for when I do want to pick up the pace 162 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: but might be doing it for a while, So something 163 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: when I want to do threshold work that incorporates five 164 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: or six miles at a time, this would be my 165 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: Nike Pegasus. I love that they now have the airbag 166 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: as they call it, in the front of the shoe. 167 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: It feels really bouncy and really supportive despite also feeling 168 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: super light. 169 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 2: And then my last sneaker for when I want to 170 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: pick up the. 171 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: Pace and I'm really really racing ideally off of the 172 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: track is the Nike Next Percent. I wore it in Chicago. 173 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: It's an expensive sneaker. It's definitely not a casual purchase, 174 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: but it makes me feel my fastest. 175 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 2: One note on the next. 176 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: They've got like one hundred and fifty miles in the max, 177 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: so this is definitely a race day sneaker only. So Yeah, 178 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: like I said, bottoms have been a sticking point for me. 179 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: Shoes have been a sticking point for me. Those are 180 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: my favorites. And by knowing what I want to reach 181 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: for when I'm getting out there to run fast, it 182 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: makes me feel I feel more confident that I can 183 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: go out there and lay it down. And my last 184 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: tip for you guys when it comes to how to 185 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: become faster is stop believing that you're not a fast runner. 186 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: It sounds maybe it sounds easy, maybe it sounds hard, 187 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: However it sounds for me. I for a long long 188 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: time just thought and believed that I was the kind 189 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: of runner that ten minute miles or eleven minute miles 190 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: or a fourteen minute half mile. I didn't really comprehend 191 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: that there was more out there for me, and I 192 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: was the one who was asking how do I get faster? 193 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: What do I do? I'll never be the kind of 194 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: person that does that. When you stop believing the stories 195 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: that you are telling yourself, then you can go after 196 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: your full potential period. And I think that I needed 197 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: to be ready to let go of those stories. I 198 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: think that I wasn't ready necessarily to progress to that 199 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: next chapter. But if you feel like you are ready 200 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: that you want to go for more that you are 201 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: ready to put in the training to go for more, 202 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: then you've got to stop believing your own bs. When 203 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: you're willing to let go of what was and open 204 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: yourself up to what can be, that is when you 205 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: will find that your training might even surprise you. 206 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: If you're out. 207 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: There and you're running and you see a number and 208 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: you think that is your limit, then I want you 209 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: to close your eye and ask yourself, am I working 210 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: as hard as I possibly can? Or if you're trying 211 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: to go for a longer period of time, you should 212 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: not be working as hard as you possibly can if 213 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: you want to continue on with any sort of sustained effort. However, 214 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: if you see a number and you think like this 215 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: is just where I'm at, or this is just who 216 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: I am, close your eyes and ask yourself about that 217 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: rate of perceived exertion. Are you actually only at a 218 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: three when you could maintain a six? How does it 219 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: feel to be in your body? It's something that we 220 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: don't do enough, not just in running, but sometimes in 221 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: our day today, right we think I can't handle this 222 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: or I can't do this. But what happens when you 223 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: actually take inventory about what's physically happening, what's emotionally happening, 224 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: what's really going on in that moment, instead of telling 225 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: yourself that this is how it's going. It's not an 226 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: easy muscle to flex, but once you do, and it's funny, 227 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: when you do this and you're running, you'll probably realize 228 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: that this skill, this inventory taking, it's going to pay 229 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: off and many other aspects of your life. Now, I 230 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: do want to offer one bonus tip when it comes 231 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: to finding your fast is also taking your recovery days 232 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: or just like your base mileage as that base mileage. 233 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: By not over exerting yourself on these days, by not 234 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: going too hard just for the sake of going hard, 235 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: you're giving your body the TLC and the rest it 236 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: needs to come back stronger, more efficient, and faster at 237 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: the next round of effort. Just that little calvey, take 238 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: your easy days easy. So again, let's summarize here. To 239 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: become a faster runner, you've got to run faster. You've 240 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: got to find the right gear that takes the decision 241 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: making out of your day to day and makes you 242 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: feel confident and comfortable. And lastly, you have to stop 243 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: believing the stories that you are telling yourself to embrace 244 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: the next level version of you. I know you've got 245 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: it in the bag.
