It is normal to think, “I need to run faster to run faster.” But that drive to run faster may actually be what’s stopping you from getting what you want. And not to mention, when you actually try to slow down your runs, it feels awkward and unnatural. Why is that? And how do you physically run slower when it feels so weird? Today we’ll dive deep into the power of running slowly to run faster. You’ll learn: the scientific reasons slow running works so well the amount of slow running you need to improve, and how you make slow running feel less awkward This concept is undoubtedly the most critical thing you can do to become a better endurance runner.

Thank you Claire, for helping me get through a dreaded treadmill workout. The tips in last week’s episode hit the mark. I ran a 10k for the first time on one this morning. I appreciate all the time you spend on strengthening our mental health when trying to get through those tough runs.
