It’s a marathon, not a sprint. But running a marathon successfully still requires plenty of speedwork! Here are a couple of example workouts that currian_ recommends run your next 26.2 faster:
Strides: Run 100 meters or for about 20 seconds at fast, but not quite sprinting, pace. I recommend starting with 4-5 strides after your workout and the rest between each stride should be, at the minimum, walking back the same distance.
Beginner fartlek workout: Start by running at an easy pace, and every 2 minutes pick up your pace and run hard for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do this process for about 15-20 minutes total and afterward, cool down by slowing your pace to an easy jog or walk for 5 minutes.
