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.
