What are some tips for running fast?

Actually, running is very simple. You can run fast just by moving your legs. However, running also requires certain techniques. I don’t know if you know that there are certain techniques to run fast. Otherwise, what kind of training do athletes usually do? Next, let me introduce to you the techniques of running fast. When we run, we must learn the running posture and so on.

There is no fixed pattern for running movements. As long as the movements of various parts of the body are coordinated and smooth, and do not cause tension, it is probably an effective running movement. First of all, you must have a good body posture (Posture); and the prerequisite for a good body posture is to have 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 fairly relaxed, the head raised, and the eyes looking straight ahead.

Let your arms hang naturally, with your fingers lightly clenched and slightly toward the midline of your body. When you step forward, your foot should be directly under your body's center of gravity. People who are new to running make the mistake of over-striding; that is, when the foot steps forward, the position of the foot at the moment of landing is in front of the body's center of gravity. Regardless of body shape, everyone has a stride length that's right for them. The method is through regular practice and trial and error. Other common mistakes include: toes pointing inward or outward when the feet touch the ground; the body bouncing too obviously; the arms swinging too much or to the left or 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. This running method, every time the toes touch the ground,

The calf muscles and heel joints are subject to considerable loads

, over time, there will be pain in the calves. For endurance long-distance running, it is reasonable to run with your heels or the entire sole of your foot landing on the ground. The coordination of breathing is very important for the runner's speed control. In my experience, it is a good idea to coordinate the number of steps with breathing. When maintaining a steady speed, exhale in 4 steps and inhale in 2 steps. When accelerating, exhale in 3 steps and inhale in 3 steps.

When the oxygen consumption is high, the principle is to exhale 2 times and inhale 2 times.

The running posture and running strength are actually very important. Have you not noticed this when you are running? In fact, you still have to pay attention to your running posture when you are running. It is actually easy to run fast with a standard running posture. You should pay attention to a balanced diet when exercising.
