How do you build your pace?

Question

Drew Wartenburg · Answer

The question is how do you build your pace? I guess if I'm interpreting this correctly, I think you probably mean how do you progress your pace over time to become faster. But I'll also answer that a little bit in terms of what I would use to determine a starting point. Generally, in terms of using a pace target or to build a pace range for an athlete, I like to use a race performance, a time trial performance, or some other form of fitness marker that's going to determine an athlete's base fitness and then work from there to calculate the correct training zones by pace for all that running. In terms of building pace progressively over time, the best way is to practice, which is do your daily runs, hit the prescribed paces without overrunning them or underrunning, and over time you're going to build fitness and progress.
