Ways to speed up your running

Some of you may exercise regularly or run regularly, but you feel that your speed cannot be improved. This is mainly because your running posture is wrong or your shoes are not suitable. First, we check whether you have chosen suitable sportswear and shoes, and then land on the forefoot to reduce the impact of landing, so that you can speed up. I recommend that you try it and like it.

Long-distance running or short-distance running? Long-distance running is developed by running every morning and evening. If you are going to do sprinting, you need to practice more on explosive power and coordination. Short-distance explosive power should be improved through various training such as pushing heavy objects, lifting weights, and weighted running. Coordination is to practice upper body swinging and spiral step backward running. As a student, it is best to proceed step by step and not be impatient for success. You should lay a solid foundation for everything you do.

First of all, good body posture is a must and a prerequisite for good body posture is proper muscle strength. Some exercises that can strengthen muscle strength, such as sit-ups, push-ups, alternating squat jumps, pull-ups, etc., are beneficial for maintaining a good body posture and obtaining effective running movements. The standard running posture is to keep the head and torso upright, the body quite relaxed, the head raised, the eyes looking straight ahead, the arms hanging naturally, and the fingers lightly clenched and slightly toward the midline of the body. When you step forward, your foot should be directly under your body's center of gravity.

When the feet step on the ground, the toes point inward or outward; the body bounces too obviously; the arms swing too much or swing left and right. Running movements should be smooth and natural, and all over-emphasized movements should be reduced to a minimum. Never run on tiptoe; this is a common mistake among beginners. In this running method, every time the toes touch the ground, the calf muscles and heel joints are under a considerable load. Over time, the calves will feel pain. For endurance long-distance running, it is reasonable to run with your heels or the entire sole of your foot landing on the ground.

As for how to speed up your running, I believe that after reading this article, you should all know that if you want to increase your running speed, it is best to develop the correct running posture. The running method of turning your feet inside out is wrong. You should correct it and swing your arms, which will help improve your speed.
