Episode 14: From Spring Strength to Summer Speed

Spring has given many runners a base of strength, consistency, and momentum. Now the question is how to use it well. In this episode, Bjørn-Ivar looks at the shift from spring strength toward summer speed, using Faith Kipyegon as a profile of calm, efficient running built over time.
The episode explores how speed works best when it grows out of a steady foundation, not when it is forced too quickly. There is a workout idea built around controlled effort and quicker rhythm, a nutrition spotlight on feeling light without under-fuelling, and an injury check-in focused on the lower legs, calves, achilles, and feet as faster running returns.
For masters runners, the focus is on adding speed without overloading the week: one clear quality session, one longer aerobic run, small touches of pace, and enough recovery to absorb the work. The Sub-20 project update brings the same theme back to real training life, where the base is present but race readiness still needs time.
A calm episode about choosing the next phase carefully, protecting continuity, and letting quicker running come from support rather than urgency.
