Can you run far but never get any faster? Do these 6 things to ramp up your speed while building endurance

It’s the biggest paradox in running: To unlock new speeds, you have to embrace the slow. 🐢➡️🐇 Your weekly long, slow run isn't "junk miles"—it's the most important session for building a massive aerobic engine. By keeping the pace easy and conversational, you’re making powerful physiological changes, like building more muscle energy factories (mitochondria!).
