speed

The two most popular entry-level race distances, perfect for beginners and seasoned athletes alike to test their speed.

"Without oxygen." High-intensity exercise where the body demands energy faster than oxygen can be delivered, producing lactate.

A professional or semi-professional athlete who competes for prize money and typically runs at a pace unimaginable to the average human.

A Swedish training method meaning "speed play" that combines continuous running with varied pace intervals.

A running pattern where the ball of the foot lands first. Common among sprinters and elite runners, but demands strong calves.

A workout involving running up a steep incline multiple times at high intensity, used to build leg strength and cardiovascular power.

A speed training method alternating between high-intensity running bursts and recovery periods to improve speed and VO2 max.

A final, rapid increase in speed at the end of a race to overtake competitors and finish strong.

Explosive exercises, such as jumping and hopping, designed to increase power, speed, and running economy by training the "stretch-shortening cycle."

A lightweight, stripped-down shoe designed specifically for running fast on race day.

Running on paved surfaces like sidewalks or streets. The most common form of running due to its convenience and consistency.

The length of your step or a specific type of short, fast running drill used to improve mechanics.

A sustained effort run at "comfortably hard" pace, designed to improve your lactate threshold.

A structured session performed on a running track (usually 400m), focusing on specific distances and recovery intervals to build speed and pacing precision.
