    What actually is speed work… and do everyday runners really need it?

    In this episode of Chasing Nick, Colin and Nick — the running coach break down one of the most misunderstood parts of training: speed work. From intervals and tempo runs to strides, pacing, recovery, and the mistakes runners make when they go too hard too often, this is a simple, honest look at how speed sessions actually work.

    Whether you are training for a 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, or just want to become a stronger runner, this episode explains how speed work can help — without sending you into a panic.

    In this episode:

    • What speed work actually means

    • The difference between intervals, reps, strides and tempo

    • Why speed work matters for all runners

    • How often you should do it

    • Common speed work mistakes

    • How hard hard days should really feel

    • Why recovery matters just as much as the session itself
