How to run faster?

I'm pretty fast already, but I have bad stamina. Been focusing on lifting for two years now and got my squat over 400lbs, I'm cutting back on squats for the summer since other lifts are lacking. So, I'll have more leg stamina to dedicate to running.

Is two days a week good enough for running? What specifically should I do to increase speed? I'd like to run at least 3 miles in 20 minutes.

run for longer distances and work on your tempo

Jog you inbred fuck

If you're going too fast, slow down your pace
If you're going to slow, increase your pace

I really have no idea what to tell you, this is the simplest shit in the world. If you want to fix your mile time or something do 30/60's, sprint for 30 seconds and walk 60. But honestly just start moving your legs and you'll be fine

no

and 3 miles in 20 minutes will require few months of training if you cant run at all
>>
Do 40 minute runs increasing pace and distance over time. This will help with your goal.

Running is mostly stamina with the exception of developing your muscles to be able to more actively sprint while you are running.
Basic program
A: 60/120 sprints for 20 minutes(as you progress drop to 30/60, 15/30).
This develops your sprinting to be more constant and need less resting in between breaks, this is where your power comes from.
B: Speed run (start off 1 mile).
Just run 1 mile as fast as you can without stopping, if you are getting out of breath slow down. The point is to finish the mile without stopping. This is programming your cardiovascular system to become more efficient.
C: Long distance (Start off two miles, as you move up a mile on your speed run, double your long distance).
This is where you build endurance, go as slow as you need to. Even take a short break if you have to (very short) just finish the miles.

Every few weeks do a 1 mile run on a Saturday or Sunday, I promise you it will feel easier, you'll pretty much be sprinting the entire time and you'll be a lot faster. You'll be less out of breath, you'll feel more natural in your movements.

Run behind women with nice asses. I set a PR on my last 5K after having plateaued simply because of young, fit bouncing ass only a few feet in front of me.

Most humans do not run properly. This is because you wear shoes, so your feet hit the ground in a lazier way that is more comfortable to you -- like how you slouch in a chair. Everyone can run. Most people do not run properly. Everyone can sit. Most people do not sit properly. Get it?

OP, I'm in the military and my base offered a running clinic, which was surprisingly informative. I recommend you google 'running clinic' or 'how to run properly' or something like that and read up. When you learn to run properly, you'll lose less stamina and run faster once you get used to it, and run healthier as well.

find a local football coach/trainer that can break down running for you into the different constituent parts, hip activation and knee lift, extension, foot strike and rake, etc ... you would be amazed at how some technique training will make you a much faster runner.

Pretend theres a cupcake in front of you

So you're saying a woman outran you the entire time and you also had a PR. That's embarrassing to admit.

>>37749212
Depends on what is stronger, I always get tired in my legs while heart/lungs could go on forever. A bit out of practice now but used to be when joints starts hurting was my limit
