Building Running Speed and Endurance

Consistency is essential for improving running speed and endurance, according to insights shared in the discussion. A solid running foundation should be established before incorporating interval training, which involves structured workouts like tempo runs, mile repeats, and hill repeats, rather than typical high-intensity interval training from the gym. The hosts emphasize the importance of maintaining a polarized training approach, where easy days are kept light and hard days are reserved for more strenuous workouts. One participant, Chuck, exemplifies the journey of becoming a committed runner by deeply engaging in the training despite adverse weather conditions.
