Struggling to get faster? You might be running your easy days too hard. 🤔 It sounds counterintuitive, but the secret to smashing your PBs isn't about going all-out on every run. It's about training smarter. The game-changing tip is the **80/20 Rule**: ✅ **80% of your runs should be EASY.** We're talking conversational pace, where you could chat with a friend. This builds your aerobic engine without burning you out. 🔥 **Only 20% should be HARD work.** This is where you sprinkle in your speed sessions like intervals or tempo runs to really push your limits. By slowing down most of the time, you'll have the energy to truly nail those faster sessions and see real progress. Plus, it makes running way more enjoyable!
