I don't know why I run so fast. I just run.

As I've been able to once again gain the benefits of speed work, I'm enjoying my running more and more.

At the end of the day, people want to see how fast you run.

Even for runners who never make the transition to more sophisticated workouts, easing into speedwork will lead to more enjoyable running.

Intervals and other types of speed work are essential to improve running speed.

Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.

If they try to rush me, I always say, I've only got one other speed and it's slower.

I find significance in all kinds of small details when I run; I'm hyper aware of my surroundings, the sensations in my body, and the thoughts running through my mind. Everything is clearer, heightened.

I've always zoomed through life in a vain attempt to keep up with my sprinting brain. If I have to choose between doing something quickly and doing it right, I often select the speedier option.

I'm a fast learner. I may not run as fast as I used to, but I think I still learn as fast.
