Hey Steven, Have You Tried These Tools to Get Faster?

Extrapolate that to the marathon, and you’re talking about potentially shaving minutes off your time, merely by striking more efficiently.

your best running form/foot plant should make you fast.

Speed work, done consistently and appropriately, builds running efficiency and leg turnover, makes you fitter and stronger, and prepares you for moments in your ultra when you will be called upon to run harder,

overstriding, which means you’re likely landing on your heels, creating a braking motion, and forcing your legs to absorb more shock. This increases the time you are in contact with the ground, and as a consequence your pace also slows.
