One of the biggest things that helped me improve my running times was learning to run slower during training. It might sound odd, but running at an easier pace builds your aerobic base — and that’s key to long-term progress. At first, it may feel like nothing is changing and like you’ve wasted a day of training. But give it a week, and you’ll notice the difference during your harder sessions. You’ll feel stronger, recover faster, and perform better. Trust the process. Try it yourself! Fuel the Spark. Forge the Spartan! #TriSparkSpartans
