How to run faster ?

If U run at 6:00/km everyday, everytime, every training session, it's little wonder why U can't run at 5:30/km or even 5:45/km right ? If U want to run at 5:30/km, U have to train at 5:30/km la, or faster even...

One keyword here :COMFORT ZONE

A lot of ppl are afraid to see what they are capable of. Very conservative in their pace estimate. My advice is : JUST DO IT. Get out of Ur comfort zone. Be prepared to hurt a bit. Back in 2010 when I 1st run HM, I ran 2:35 then 2:29.. & I thot that was the fastest I could go. But then, during my 3rd HM I ran 2:04 & I was surprised I could maintain that pace without much problem. I never thot I had it in me. So, IF U DUN TRY, U'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT U R CAPABLE OF.

Sports or even fitness is pretty much the same. To progress or improve, U need to get out of Ur comfort zone. At the gym, if U've been lifting 10kg curls for the past 6 months, pls do not think further why U have shown little or no progress in terms of muscle mass or strength, for example. U need to lift heavier. The same goes with running, cycling, swimming. U need to go faster la. No pain, no gain.
