Slow Down. Get Faster.

November 6, 2026 · 15 min

Show notes

Slow runs can feel counterintuitive, but they’re an essential part of building endurance. Aly and Kristine break down what makes a run truly easy, why effort matters more than pace, and how slowing down can help you recover and build mileage. Plus, a few lessons from their own marathon training and practical tips for resisting the urge to speed up—from running by time to leaving your watch behind.
