After an awful bout of injuries during Winter I've had my first run where I managed to up my speed considerably.
I decided I would go for a fast extension of the running style I normally do when going slower. So its a very close to the ground shuffle with short speedy strides. I figured this would not introduce any kind of new movement done at high power and speed. Its all worked according to spontaneous instinct. I was able to do 3 lovely fast sections.
So my advice on speed work for those who've not done speed work for decades, stick to the style you normally do but just up the tempo.
Above all be very patient with yourself until it all feels safe and strong.
