In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down 4 speed workouts that actually work for slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-prone runDisney runners who pace 13 minutes per mile or slower. 

She explains how 30-20-10s, Progression runs, Tempos, and Hills help you build speed without burning out... especially if you use run/walk intervals. 

Dr. Ali walks through how often to do these workouts, how long you should be hitting Zones 4 and 5, why each workout has a different goal, and why knowing your exact pace matters more than anything else. 

She also shares the pace-testing method she uses inside her coaching to help runners avoid wasting 8 weeks guessing and instead start training strategically from day one... plus what kind of gains her runners typically see after six to eight weeks of real speed work.
