How do I start speed training?
Start at a jog, gradually build to about 95 percent of your maximum speed, hold that for two seconds, then slow down to a stop. One stride should take you about 20 to 25 seconds. Walk for about a minute afterward, and you’ll be ready to do another one. Start with four strides after an easy run twice per week.
