Josh:

To get yourself used to faster paces, you need to start incorporating more fast training.  Start by adding “strides” or “pick-ups” (TftUA pages 168-169) into 1-2 of your runs.   After you have completed 4 of these sessions to help you access some faster twitch fibers, add on a session of hill sprints (TftUA pages 179-183) per week and drop to 1 stride/pick-up run per week.

This will help you add another gear to your running and build some running-specific leg strength.
