How do I get faster at running?

Getting faster at running requires building an aerobic base with 80% easy running (Zone 2), adding 20% high-intensity work at threshold and VO2max, improving running form and economy, and allowing proper recovery. Consistency over months is the key driver of performance improvement.

What is the 80/20 rule in running training?

The 80/20 rule (polarized training) means spending approximately 80% of your weekly training volume at low intensity (easy, conversational pace) and 20% at high intensity (threshold or above). Research shows this distribution produces better fitness adaptations than training at moderate intensity most of the time.

How should I train for a marathon?

Marathon training requires 16-20 weeks of structured preparation including a base-building phase, lactate threshold development, long runs building to 18-22 miles, and a 2-3 week taper. Most runners benefit from 4-6 days of running per week with one long run on weekends. Nutrition, sleep, and recovery are as important as the runs themselves.

What is lactate threshold and why does it matter for runners?

Lactate threshold is the running pace at which lactic acid begins to accumulate in the blood faster than it can be cleared. It is the strongest predictor of marathon performance for trained runners. Training at and slightly below threshold pace (tempo running) raises this threshold, allowing you to run faster before fatigue sets in.

¿Cómo puedo correr más rápido?

Para correr más rápido necesitas construir una base aeróbica sólida con el 80% del entrenamiento a ritmo fácil (Zona 2), añadir sesiones de calidad al umbral de lactato y VO2máx, mejorar tu técnica de carrera y recuperar adecuadamente. La consistencia durante meses es el principal factor de mejora.
