Chasing Nick: Speed Work Explained | Intervals, Tempo Runs, Strides & Getting Faster

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

Chasing Nick is the series where we try to make sense of running training, one question at a time.

Nick’s got news. Andrew is tapering. Matt is ignoring the fact he’s injured. And Colin is still being controlled by his coach.

In this episode of Idiots Go Running, the lads are back with more running chat, marathon talk, ultra running nonsense, taper week panic, injury denial, and the kind of coaching dynamics that definitely feel a bit too personal.

Nick brings the latest update, Andrew delivers a mystery book review with almost no useful clues, Matt continues to run like injuries are optional, and Colin remains firmly under the watchful eye of Coach Nick.

Expect sarcasm, endurance running chat, training talk, race prep, recovery excuses, marathon mindset, ultra runner nonsense, and the usual lack of professionalism.

In this episode of Idiots Go Running, we chat with Conor O’Keeffe, ultra-endurance athlete and founder of ALTAR, about endurance nutrition, running fuel, carbohydrates, electrolytes, gut-friendly fuelling, and what it really takes to perform when training gets tough.

We get into why Conor created ALTAR, how Speed Dust was built to support long training sessions without digestive discomfort, and why smart fuelling can make such a big difference for runners, marathon training, ultra running, cycling, and endurance sport in general.

We also have a bit of fun chatting about the flavours, including the all-important question… what if the flavours were DJs? From Raspberry Rush to Lemon Soda to Plain Jane, this episode mixes performance talk with the usual Idiots Go Running nonsense.

If you are into running podcasts, sports nutrition, marathon fuelling, race day nutrition, electrolytes for runners, long run fuel, and ultra marathon training, this is one for you.
