How fast is 115 BPM?
BPM means beats per minute. Divide 60 seconds by 115 and one beat lasts about 0.52 seconds. Four such beats take about 2.09 seconds in a 4/4 bar. These times describe the click, not how many notes you must play.
The main beats are close enough to give forward motion, but you can still count four of them clearly. Keep the phrase length fixed when adding quicker notes.
What should you practice at 115 BPM?
Play the same two-bar phrase twice, first with one note per click and then with a note every other click. The second pass feels broader at the same BPM.
