How can you run faster?

Running is a very common sport. I believe everyone has the experience of running at different times. Everyone runs at different speeds. Many people on the street may affect the running speed, such as the length of the legs, the frequency of running, whether the movements are standard, etc. Let us learn together how we should run in order to run faster.

Sprinting is a speed-strength sport that mainly relies on anaerobic energy supply. Strong explosive power, high absolute speed and speed endurance, good coordination and agility, reasonable running technique, and strong psychological ability are necessary conditions for engaging in sprinting. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of sprinting, grasping the internal laws of sprinting special training, and exploring methods and means of sprinting special training are important ways to improve the coaching level of sprinting coaches.

Stride length and stride frequency are the core of modern sprinting technique and the main factors that determine running speed. They are also a comprehensive reflection of the athlete's technical characteristics, physical fitness level, nerve type and body morphology. To increase running speed, stride length and stride frequency are the key. It would be ideal if both could be improved at the same time, but this is very difficult to achieve in practice. Therefore, in the practice of sprint training, it is necessary to develop stride length or stride frequency in a targeted manner according to the characteristics of the athletes.

From the analysis of the technical principles of running, the size of the stride length ability is mainly determined by the back-pedaling force, back-pedaling angle, swinging force, swinging speed, and hip joint flexibility during running. To this end, in training, we focus on developing the strength of the thigh extensors and flexors and the flexibility of the hip joints in combination with the technical characteristics of sprinting.

In terms of the selection of training methods, we use exercises such as weighted leg-changing jumps, weighted stride walking, weighted running, weighted stair jumping, stair running, large-scale stride jumps (requiring the swinging leg to actively press down and the calf to actively land from front to bottom and back), frog jumps, and single-leg hopping to improve the ability to push back while running. At the same time, we also adopt training methods such as high-leg running, "wheel running" with rubber bands and high-leg running, and abdominal jumping to increase the swing amplitude and speed up the swing speed. In addition, we adopt some other training methods and training means to strengthen the flexibility of the hip joint and muscle stretching training, thereby improving the stride length ability.

There are many factors that affect losing weight through running. Only by continuous practice and improvement can you choose the methods introduced above during training and slowly increase your running speed. However, an individual's running speed is also related to some genetic factors, such as reaction speed and so on.
