When it comes to improving your running, there are no shortcuts, however, there are smarter ways to go about training to improve performance quickly. Over the space of 9 years, I’ve gone from a 3h 17m marathon, to a 2h 20m and a 25:14 5k to a 14:34. If you do the same training, every day, then you will see results, but at a very slow rate. Here are my top 10 running hacks to get faster, some of which you probably wouldn’t expect to hear.
