Many of those who engage in leisurely jogging to maintain a healthy lifestyle think that they cannot run fast because they are not built like professional runners. In fact, everyone can run faster. And for this, as a rule, you just need to slightly change your running technique.
It is necessary
- Desire to run faster
- Workouts
Instructions
Step 1
To run faster, think about how often your feet touch the ground as you run. Try to gradually increase the frequency of these beats. Olympic runners touch the ground about 90 times per minute on average, but for amateurs 80 strokes is a solid figure. Count how intense your run is and try to gradually increase your steps per minute. This will help you run much faster.
Step 2
Push off the ground with your thumb as you run. This will direct your body forward and allow you to constantly accelerate without wasting energy - just remember your thumbs!
Step 3
Try to move your arms while running, not across your body, but as far forward as possible. The habitual criss-cross movement introduces imbalance in your run, striving straight forward allows you to maintain balance and aids movement.
Step 4
Lower your chin. When you run with your head up, your neck is tilted back as well as your whole body. Your legs move in the opposite direction. Lower your head, help your body run faster by guiding it along the path of your legs.
Step 5
To run faster, try diversifying your aerobic activity with acceleration exercises. A 200-meter jog with a constant increase in speed is fine. Practice this activity several times a week. It will also be beneficial.
