How to run fast in sprinting

There are many ways to run faster if you have short legs. You can strengthen physical exercise and increase the frequency of running to increase your running speed. To run fast in sprinting, you need to improve your explosive power in the early stages to quickly increase your speed. You also need to exercise regularly to promote the running-in of muscles and pay attention to your running posture. You can learn about sprinting methods and increase your exercise volume.

1. Build endurance

Ways to exercise endurance include walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, rowing, mountain climbing and certain ball games. You can also use methods such as running in place, skipping rope, climbing stairs, etc. depending on local conditions.

Endurance training can be divided into aerobic endurance and anaerobic endurance. Aerobic endurance exercises include long-distance running, swimming, mountain climbing, aerobics, etc. Anaerobic endurance sports include explosive movements such as sprinting, high jump, long jump, etc.

2. Accumulate strength

People with poor explosive power should pay attention to shortening the exercise distance. Taking long-distance running as an example, you can start with 500 meters a day and gradually transition to 800 meters, 1000 meters, and so on. Exercises include pull-ups, push-ups, squats, step jumping, fast running, etc. You can also use dumbbells, pull-up bars and other equipment.

3. Lift your chest and swing your arms

Because during running, the human body is constantly consuming energy and is prone to fatigue. At this time, if you can keep your head up and chest out, it will be very helpful to improve the hunchback condition, improve the body's respiratory and circulatory systems, and establish a normal memory state.

Swinging your arms back and forth while running can help maintain your body's balance and coordination and make your body swing more naturally. When swinging your arms, make sure your hands are not missing in the front and your elbows are not missing in the back, and your body should swing naturally with your steps. Pay attention to your running posture, lean forward, and swing your arms back and forth. Many people often swing their arms left and right. Avoid swaying left and right while running.

The speed depends on the stride and frequency. The frequency is difficult to increase, so you should try to increase the stride. You can adjust it by maximizing the arm swing amplitude.

4. Inhale through nose and exhale through mouth

The breathing during running is deep and long. Generally, you inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. If your physical strength is seriously reduced, you can inhale through the mouth and exhale through the mouth.

5. Landing cushioning

Many people land with the entire sole of their foot when running, and the sound when they land is relatively loud. The correct action is to land with the heel first and then the entire sole of the foot. This is a protection for the ankles and knees, preventing the occurrence of periostitis.
