'move more quickly but' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'not in step' is the wordplay.
'not in' becomes 'out' ('out' is the opposite to 'in').
'step' becomes 'pace' (synonyms).
'out'+'pace'='OUTPACE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for outpace that I've seen before include "Overcome by speeding" , "Excel in speed" , "Walk faster than" , "Go faster than" .)
