Yes, training will make you faster. My first marathon was a 4:22. I&#x27;ve since run a 3:12. I&#x27;m training for a 3:05 this fall, and hoping to run sub-3 next year. I&#x27;m 43. But we all have our limits. Generally, more running makes you faster... but it also increases the likelihood of injury. Some people can run insane amounts w&#x2F;o getting injured [1]. Some people have natural ability to run fast w&#x2F;hardly any training [2]. But even for them, training makes them faster.<p>The trick is to train enough (enough miles and the right kinds) to meet your goals. And figure out how to do so w&#x2F;o getting injured. (Hint: go see a PT, have them evaluate you for imbalances and weaknesses. Do the exercises they prescribe. Then build your mileage, slowly and methodically. And you&#x27;ll get there. Running well takes years for most people. Don&#x27;t rush it.)<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bunnhill.com&#x2F;BobHodge&#x2F;Rodgers&#x2F;TrainingLogs&#x2F;br75traininglog.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bunnhill.com&#x2F;BobHodge&#x2F;Rodgers&#x2F;TrainingLogs&#x2F;br75tr...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Steve_Way" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Steve_Way</a>
