Slower Might Be Faster In The End

The best way to build strength and speed throughout your training program is to run slower than you can. Sound funny? In both your daily runs and your long runs, pick a pace that's about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes slower than your goal split time. Even if you feel comfortable at a faster pace, take it easy and learn to enjoy the slower running. This will allow your body to build the endurance it needs to run that fast pace on race day.
