The Broad Street Run 2013

The Broad Street Run in Philadelphia is the largest 10 mile race in the United States with 40,000 people entered.  I ran the race two years ago and finished in 1 hour 20 minutes and didn't think I could beat that time due to some nagging injuries.  The weather was perfect if not a little chilly and I ran like there were 39,999 people chasing me.  Finishing 6 minutes faster was a shock to me but finishing 119 in my Age Group was also shocking.  How could I beat my previous finishing time by 6 minutes and yet finish so low in my age group?  It's time to research running faster instead of training to run longer distances.
