"I feel the need... the need for speed!"
Team Running Strong runs for the cause, not the competition. But if you have a specific finish time in mind and you're hoping to increase your running or walking speed, the following training schedules from running coach Christine Hinton can shave minutes off your mile in just one month!
*Use either schedule 4 times a week for maximum results. Begin with a 5 minute warm-up and end with a 5 minute cool-down each time.
Runners:
Week 1: 30 seconds at fast pace, 2 minutes at moderate pace. Repeat 8 times.
Week 2: 1 minute at fast pace, 2 minutes at moderate pace. Repeat 7 times.
Week 3: 5 minutes at fast pace, 5 minutes at moderate pace. Repeat 2 times.
Week 4: 10 minutes at easy pace, 10 minutes at very fast pace, 10 minutes at easy pace. 
Walkers:
Week 1: 2 minutes of brisk walking, then 2 minutes at normal pace. Repeat 5 times.
Week 2: 3 minutes of brisk walking, then 2 minutes at normal pace. Repeat 4 times.
Week 3: 1 minute of very brisk walking, then 1 minute at normal pace. Repeat 10 times.
Week 4: 2 minutes of brisk walking, then 1 minutes at normal pace. Repeat 7 times.
