Summary: Become a better runner by using these workouts.
If you’re a runner, chances are you’ve wanted to get a little faster at some point or another. Many of us want to improve on our times in races, whether you’re going from walking/jogging a race to running the whole thing, or you’re trying to actually place, speed workouts can be incredibly helpful. The best part is that you adjust the workout to fit your effort level, so the actual speed isn’t that important, as long as you’re improving.
There are many different types of speed workouts. I find that choosing the right one really comes down to choosing workouts that you’ll actually do, whether that’s a regimented workout or doing fartleks, where you spontaneously choose when to sprint or slow down. If you’re looking for some guidance, here are ten speed workouts for you to try out.
