How can I run faster?

Many people will express envy when they see others running very fast, thinking that this is a kind of talent. In fact, running fast is also a kind of ability, but this ability is not innate, it can be assisted by some methods and techniques. Therefore, if you want to run fast, you can achieve it through acquired efforts. So many friends will ask, how can you run fast?

The "forward lean" posture is the secret to effective running

This posture can not only reduce the burden on joints but also relatively reduce exercise intensity and prolong exercise time.

In the "forward lean position", the runner's body should lean forward, and the feet are not extended forward, but lifted from the ground and dropped directly onto the vertical line corresponding to the body's center of gravity. In this way, it is not the thighs that drive the body forward, but the body that drives the thighs to take a step. The practitioner feels like driving a powerful car; instead of feeling tired, he feels constantly motivated. In addition, studies have shown that the "forward leaning posture" can reduce the burden on the knee joint by 50%, and the chance of sports injuries will be greatly reduced.

Generally, when running, the body will have a forward and upward momentum when the legs push back. Swing your legs forward so your feet are in front of your body's center of gravity.

When running in a "forward leaning posture", the human body will have a strong momentum. The feet are quickly driven by the muscles on the back of the thighs and gently lifted from the ground. Because the human body will not have momentum, the body's center of gravity (usually concentrated on the hips) is maintained at a height. In this case, the cadence can reach 180 beats per minute.

Action reminders while running:

1. Head and Shoulders

Running action key points: Keep your head and shoulders stable. Keep your head facing forward, do not lean forward unless the road is uneven, and keep your eyes focused straight ahead. Relax your shoulders and avoid hunching your chest.

2. Arms and hands

Key points of running movement: Arm swing should be a forward and backward movement with the shoulder as the axis, and the left and right movement range should not exceed the midline of the body. The fingers, wrists and arms should be relaxed, with the elbow angle at approximately 90 degrees.

The above is an introduction on how to run faster. Friends who want to run faster can try the methods introduced above. When running, you should pay attention to doing it within your ability and do not over-exercise and cause muscle strain, which will not be worth the loss. Only correct running can achieve the effect of exercising the body.
