smarge117 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I got through C210K and did my first 10K (very slowly--well over 1 hour and pulled a calf muscle in the last mile). I'm basically at the point where I can run for 1 hour or so (with only a little bit of walking.) When and how do you train to go faster?. I realize that the 'apps' are assuming a 10 minute mile--I am no where near that. How do you get there? Does it matter how old you are? I'm 51 and it took me 9 months to get through C25K--into C210K.

Azatol Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 You need to do speed training. Google stuff like "Interval workouts for running", "Hill Sprints", "Tempo workouts for running". You should do speed training once a week. Also add in strides to help a bit with speed and help keep you healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
