Lydiard's most misunderstood rule β you don't need to run fast to get faster. Base training at conversational pace builds the aerobic engine that speed work can't shortcut. Start slow. Win long. #LydiardMethod #RunningNiche #RunCoach #TeamRunningNiche

It's that time of year where new styles are beginning to arrive. Brooks Hyperion Max is a good addition to our "tool kit" as while its quite light and a great shoe for those faster "tempoish" kind of runs its very well cushioned and bouncy. We're open β¦ instagr.am/p/CnFGqN9s_J2/
