Look for any tips that can help me improve my speed, I run everyday but can't seem to improve my speed. I average 3.5 - 4 miles per day. Any suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks Ed
Biggest thing if not done yet - slow down to speed up.
huh?
Many will start running always doing the max they can do, totally relies on the upper carb burning lactate threshold limit, and that is slow to improve.
But when you slow down and train the fat-burning aerobic system, there is a lot of room for improvement. You may find your pace after 2-4 weeks of running at a slower HR, is getting right back up to where it was before at maxed out HR.
If you have no HRM, base it on talk test. Should be able to speak whole sentences at this level of training. But should not be able to sing well. And not meaning sound well in case like me that ain't gonna happen anyway, but singing should cause out of breath response after a stanza.
Also, after initially getting fit, every day may be too much to keep making advancement.
Exercise if done right tears the body down in some way.
It's the rest for recovery and repair that allow building it back up, stronger if diet allows.
But in a diet recovery is slower.
Where is your rest if running every day, especially if it's been done almost as hard as you could? If so, your body has probably also fallen to just allowing a mediocre workout without getting enough recovery. That will also effect speed, body is just plain tired and can't go harder.
