    You can easily increase your speed by working on your stride and making sure that you are propelling yourself forward using your posterior chain rather than taking shorter strides and placing too much strain on the quads.

    I dont know a good way to explain it but I used to run track (sprinter) and the way I was taught to run looks very different than the way I see new runners run. Im still getting back into running shape and my easy chug run results in a 10:12 mile vs a 12 or 13 minute mile I see people with different form use

    Effective sprinting technique is different than effective distance running.

    Both world class runners in their discipline ... different cadences, strides, body position at impact, etc.
