  1. hey! got your comment on my post....so looking to drop 15 minutes form your time?
    best way is to do speed work- HIIT session,tempo runs,fartleks,mile repeats.....at least 1-2x per week. not sure what type of training plan you are on,but if you have a plan that you know how many miles to run per week,then GREAT-if not,just email me and i can give you a 8 week guide to a full marathon,a guide meaning how long your long run should be every week-
    anyways, try doing track workouts-ladders-400m sprint,jog 400,800m sprint,jog 800,1200m sprint,jog 800,1600m sprint,jog 1200m,sprint 1200m,jog 800m sprint 800m jog 800m sprint 400m jog 400m and just for fun add in 200m sprints-
    OR mile repeats at 80% build up to 5x.
    tempo runs-run at 80% for sustained time (about 3/4 the distance of your long run for that week)
    fartlek-like a HIIT,but running outdoors-10 minute warm up,hard run for 2 minutes,jog for 2,hard run for 1 minute,jog for 2 minutes,hard run for 2 minutes,jog for 2,hard run for 3 minutes,jog for 2,etc etc etc....for about 6-8miles (when you build up to it)
    hill sprints are good,TM sprints are good 30 minutes of 1 min on/2min off or 1 min on/1 min off...wow just wrote you a book here! sorry!
    hope that info helps,if you need more details,just email me!
