Charles Hicks On The Training Rules That Changed Everything | 2:04 Marathoner

UNTAPPED with Spencer Matthews

Charles Hicks runs 130 miles a week, but his advice to become a faster runner isn't to copy him. The professional distance runner explains why gradual progression, genuinely easy runs and trusting the work are key to getting faster.


Charles shares the one workout he'd keep to improve your 5K, why most runners push too hard on easy days, and why you can't cheat the years of work behind real progress.


He also reveals his surprisingly simple approach to watches, data and running without music, and why sometimes the fastest way out of a bad training spell is to do less, not more
