How to increase running speed

If you want to increase your speed when running, you need to master some skills. First of all, you need to choose the right running equipment. The main running equipment are running shoes and running clothes. A good pair of running shoes can prevent blisters on your feet when running and can prevent your feet from being sprained during running. Good running clothes are both breathable and can keep you warm. Of course, if you want to increase your running speed, you should also master the correct running exercise method.

A marathon runner's speed and endurance are not achieved overnight. Your goal of 5 kilometers in 20 minutes is a numerical value, and it is just a hurdle. It is not an insurmountable limit for human beings, not to mention that humans have no limits. If we think of running as a pyramid, the highest-level competitions once or twice a year are the top of the pyramid, and the endurance foundation is the base of the pyramid. For runners who are looking for health, the base of the tower is of most interest. But for most runners, the tower base is the beginning and end of the entire plan. Without a good foundation, higher intensity strength work and speed work are impossible to do.

Some runners often ignore planning, which has a negative impact on our running. In fact, we can design our own running plans well, especially during the annual time to lay a good foundation for endurance training. Few runners of any age make an effort to strengthen muscles other than their legs. However, regularly arranging a series of simple upper body strength exercises in daily training will effectively improve the trainee's running ability. The goal is to improve strength and endurance in the shoulders and arms, as well as the strength of the abdominal and back muscles.

There are many things to pay attention to when running, such as running posture, breathing frequency, strength control while running, and speed control during the running process. In order to increase your running speed, you should first know whether you are running a short distance or a long distance, so that you can set a reasonable speed-up time based on the distance.
