Boost your running speed with training — but don't fall for these myths, scientists say
Your running speed partly comes down to factors you can't control, like genetics, and partly relies on your training.

Associate Professor of Exercise Science, University of Tennessee
Dr. Kip Webster’s research interests are focused on assessment, interventions, and policies related to fundamental motor skills and physical activity behaviors in pediatric populations. Her research involves school or early childhood education-based programs that target positive health-related outcomes, such as reducing childhood obesity and increasing physical activity, fitness, motor skill competency, and psychological variables related to health. Her recent research has examined the relationship between physical activity/ motor skill competency to screen-time behaviors, academic achievement, as well as early childhood education center policies that directly relate to improving pediatric health. She has received over $9.5 million in external and internal funding to support her work in pediatric health.
