Welcome back to On The Grow, I'm Grace Lee.
This is the seventy-eighth episode into the binge-able Running With Vision Series.
"I know what you’re thinking — if you’re trying to be faster, why on earth would you slow down? But that’s just it. People are so caught up and focused on the fastest mile, the fastest pace, or the fastest time on the scoreboard, that slowing down is the last thing they’d ever do. But little do people know that while you’re training as a distance runner, it is ESSENTIAL to slow down in order to get faster in running. Because by slowing down, you’re building consistency with effort. Your body doesn’t know “pace,” it only knows effort."
In Episode 78 on On The Grow, I talk about why it’s essential to slow down in order to get faster in running, two goals I’m focusing on for this upcoming Sunday’s Brooklyn half marathon and my strategy for it, what I’ve learned in group training, the runs where you’re not performing your best and how every run will not always be your best run.
