I was trying to think of a creative answer but the only thing I could think of that I did to "boost my run" (which I think means running faster or running further that you ever ran before) was training. Training is a crucial part of achieving something in any sport. You just don't decide on race day that you will achieve a personal best or run the longest distance you ever ran. You decide months before. You find a training plan and follow it to the best of your ability. On race day, you will achieve that goal.
I wrote a blog post on training before and I have found that running consistently at increasing speed and distance had proved great results. I was able to shave off minutes to my 21k Personal Record with training as consistently as I could 2 months before my first international race, the Rock and Roll Half Marathon Philadelphia.
Currently, I am training for my first Marathon, the Bull Runner Dream Marathon. I haven't ran farther than 21k before deciding to do this so I trained following a plan. I braved through 2 degree weather, got used to stinky gym smells and woke earlier that I should to go on my training runs. I even trained during my vacation trips. That's crazy enough right?

Revolution with the adidas ENERGY
BOOST™
Pre-order one of the 100 pairs available starting today
Philippines,
14 February 2013 – Unmatched energy return, superior cushioning,
optimal
fit and temperature
independence: introducing the ENERGY BOOST™ by adidas, the new
running shoe with revolutionary cushioning technology that provides
the highest energy
return in the
industry. And just like that, running will never be the same.
With only 200 pairs of ENERGY
BOOST™ available in the Philippines this season, runners
will be able to
reserve up
to 100 pairs before the shoes hit the
adidas Bonifacio Global City
store
on the
27th of February. This can

exclusive for
South East Asia
that opens from 15th until 24th of February. So, be the first
to boost your run
at adidasboost.com.
Boost your
cushioning
The foundation of the ENERGY BOOST™ innovation is centred on
proprietary cushioning
material, BOOST™,
that allows the
runner to feel
a continuous energy return.
The
revolutionary
technology
allows small energy
capsules in the soles to
store and unleash
energy more
efficiently with every stride.
Boost your conditions
Holding its
performance in almost any condition the exclusive BOOST™ material has been
proven
to be three
times more temperature-resistant than
standard EVA material,
thus
providing a more
consistent and comfortable run.
“As a revolutionary
material, BOOST™
combines
the usually conflicting performance
benefits of soft and
comfortable with firm and responsive
cushioning. It almost makes
the
shoe come to
life, and you
will feel it
from the first
moment you put
it on. It sets a new
forward,” said Bernd Wahler, Head of Innovation for adidas.
Boost your
comfort
The adidas ENERGY BOOST™
innovation
goes beyond the
revolutionary midsole
technology. The
upper on the ENERGY BOOST™
features adidas Techfit technology, which
provides optimal
comfort and support to the entire foot while in motion.
Additional
features include a special mid-foot support frame, an extended TORSION® system
to minimise roll
for more stability, adiwear outsole
to reduce wear in key soles areas and an
external heel
counter to maximise the heel fit and comfort. The adidas ENERGY BOOST™ is
miCoach compatible.
adidas ENERGY BOOST™ retails at PHP7995 and will be
available for pre-order at
adidasboost.com from 15th until 24th of February.
Pre-ordered
pairs will then be
ready for
pick up on the 27th of February at adidas Bonifacio Global City.
