How to run faster

Exercising has now become a daily routine for many people. Whether they are students, office workers or the elderly, everyone has joined the exercise ranks. Many people buy exercise equipment to exercise at home, such as treadmills and power bikes, to enhance their exercise. Some people wonder how to speed up their running. In fact, running is related to one's own breathing. Only when the breathing frequency is stable can one run faster. This article also introduces other related content, let’s take a look at it together.

【Treadmill】Adjust your breathing while running to run faster

If you want to run faster, you must first adjust your breathing. When accelerating while running, you should take deep breaths, lengthen your breathing time, and speed up your pace to inhale every three steps and exhale every three steps. By changing your breathing frequency while running, you can increase your running speed by adjusting your breathing in this way without making you too tired. Following this acceleration method, you will feel relaxed and not tired while running.

Swing your arms quickly when running to run fast

The running speed can be calculated using a simple formula: speed = cadence x stride. For beginners, it is difficult to master the method of increasing step frequency and stride length. When running, you can simply move your legs by swinging your arms quickly. The faster you swing your arms, the faster your foot rhythm will also become. Focus on the fluidity of your steps, not the distance they travel from the ground. Taking brisk steps will result in a higher cadence and reduce the risk of injuries caused by the pressure of your feet hitting the ground. So you can run faster and easier.

The correct running posture can make you run fast

Place both hands on top of your hip bones. Then imagine that the line is pulling you forward and move your legs alternately. At this time, the muscles of the buttocks and inner thighs are used, the waist is naturally pushed forward, and the hips are actively thrust. This is the easiest running posture. When running, bend your arms slightly to maintain a certain rhythm, use your elbows to lead your arms, and swing them back and forth naturally.

The right pre-running diet helps you run faster

To a certain extent, the more balanced your diet, the better the running results. A poor pre-run diet can make you feel uncomfortable while running. Before running, you should avoid foods such as candy, soda or chocolate, because these foods may cause fatigue while running. High-fat and high-protein foods (fat, cream, etc.) should also be avoided as much as possible, because these foods are difficult to digest and absorb, which will reduce blood circulation and reduce your athletic performance while running, affecting your running results and making you run slowly.
