So, you're a keen runner. Let me guess: you love lacing up for your local Parkrun, follow Dina Asher-Smith on Instagram, and are well-versed on the best running shoes for women. You might have a 10km, or even a half marathon or marathon under your belt - and today, you're Googling how to run faster, as you're also toying with the idea of training to improve your time.
Runners have long used how quickly they can complete certain distances as a metric - Paula Radcliffe smashing the Women's World Marathon Record with a time of 2 hours 15 minutes will be forever immortalised in my mind - but it's important to remember that everyone's pace is different. Running app Strava saw users share over 12 billion activities last year - that's 51 million activities uploaded each week - highlighting just how many varying paces there will be within the field.
