Wouldn’t you love to run faster and harder? You want to do that without risking injury and without feeling like you’re pushing your legs harder than they can physically go.
Running isn’t just about the power that you have in your legs while running. There are elements involved in the start, in your posture, and much more. If you want to boost your running speed, you need to get all the elements working together and your body working in the best way.
And running faster isn’t just about speed or power. You want to make sure your running is efficient. It’s all about using the energy in the right way throughout your training to boost your fitness levels and improve your skills.
With that in mind, it’s time to focus on these eight very simple but effective tips to improve your running speed. Anyone can run faster with these top tips.
Get Your Running Stride Just Right
Before you even think about improving your start and your posture, you need to make sure you get your running stride just right. This will instantly improve your speed.
Your stride will affect the amount of energy you use during your running. A short stride will mean more steps, but it also means that your legs don’t need to work as much with each step. If your stride is too long, your muscles must stretch more, and you need to burn more energy to pull your body back into a straight position. It takes longer for your legs to pass each other into the next step.
You’re not just running slower but inefficiently. There is just so much energy wasted, and you don’t get anywhere sooner, despite covering more ground with each step.
