What do you guys do to work on improving your pace?
I've been a pretty slow runner, averaging a half-marathon pace of 10:15-10:30. This was for my first/only half so far.
I've been doing intervals lately (6:00 pace for 30 seconds followed by 1 min of 10:30 pace x 12), hoping it'll help out my speed during my 2nd upcoming half in March.
Seems crazy to me that some of you guys do 6:00 for your pace on a normal day.

I went from doing one type of run "I'm going for a run haha" to now four types:

1. Long runs
2. Speed work (intervals, tempo, fartleks, etc)
3. Hill work
4. Recovery runs (which I've learned have to be slooow)

I'm no expert so I can't tell you what to do to get faster but I think the best training advice I've heard is that every run should have a defined purpose. Gone are the days of "I'm just gonna go out and run for a bit and then come home" - before you leave the door you should know what benefit you're trying to get from this run.

I thought I wouldn't like this additional structure but it turns out I love it! Anyway, something to think about.

I agree with that, but...
I think sometimes it's good to take a break from "training" every once in a while and just go out for a run.

But in general it's good advice, just don't forget why you first loved it(i.e. running just to run).

You just need to run more...simple as that. There's no real need for specific speed work at this point. What's your weekly mileage and number of runs? If your averaging 10:30 pace for a half I imagine you're doing lots of walking. If you build up mileage to where you can run 9-10 without walking, I guarantee your shorter runs will get way faster without doing any specific speedwork.

When you are done you can sit down and crack a beer and say, you know what...I fucking killed it out there.

I think the problem is people are afraid to hurt when they are running. They find that they can run comfortably at X:XX pace so thats what they run at and then they wonder why they dont improve doing the same run at the same pace 6 days a week.
Its all about going outside of your comfort zone.
I run 6-7 times a week and atleast 5 of those runs I am nervous about because of how I know I am going to feel during that run.
Its ok for your legs to burn, its ok to get a little dehydrated, its ok to puke a little bit.

Fuck... I guess I'm doing Ragnar with some friends.

I buy spikes that slide over my shoes for icy days. Like $10 at Costco. Going to get cold this week here, so some shitty runs coming up.

Oddly, slipping and almost wiping out hurts my shoulder more than just about anything else; quick/loose movements I guess.

Don't own a treadmill and I find them very boring. Running outside is typically alright, but you do get the odd horrible day (worst this year was -22F). Most of the time it's 15-20F and sunny. Sometimes warmer, sometimes colder.

I just have my routine and I hate making excuses for weather.

I'll take 15-20 over 33 and rainy. Getting soaked and cold sucks.

But, I never have to worry about anything with a -

It's sort of fun when it's unique. Still impressed you guys do it week after week.

Sounds like everybody in here is killing it! Great job guys!

Ironmom your time ia about 1:40 faster than my marathon time. Hard to imagine you could do another half-marathon before I'd finish my marathon, haha.

Keep up the awesome work guys!

you'd take 15-20? How about -6?
