How Can You Run Faster?

00:35 - The topic the coaches are getting into in this episode is running slower to run faster

01:05 - Most coaches use an 80/20 rule - 80% easy runs, 20% harder workouts

02:28 - Don't slow down movement when running slower, just relax your upper body

03:06 - To run faster, most think they should move legs faster, but this just makes you more tired

Your Body Position Can Impact Your Speed

04:46 - Running faster is about lifting your body higher to increase the angle of fall

05:20 - Find a comfortable "fall angle" you can hold for your easy runs

06:54 - Challenge is maintaining an even pace, not starting too fast

07:10 - Focus on holding a fall angle rather than thinking "slow" or "fast"

09:12 - Don't assume faster is moving body parts more, it's using gravity and falling forward
