After a few weeks of High-Intensity Interval Training, you may be surprised by how much your overall speed has increased, even at your “normal” pace. Over time, what used to be your normal pace is replaced with some of the momentum you had while running at a higher intensity. It’s almost like you are tricking your body into believing “this is my normal speed.” Eventually, what may have seemed more intense a few weeks ago, is now just your average running speed. This is great for those runners who are trying to improve their time during races, and it’s generally how all athletes train to increase speed.
