Is there a way to improve my running speed? |
For the 40 yard dash, you can improve it by .1 but is there a way to improve great? like .3 or .5? is it possible? train with a 200 yd. track team. other ideas -running sand dunes -running sand (dryyy sand, the one its hard to walk in) -sprinting parachutes -sprinting a hill -sprint with a resistance band/rubber band (you should know the one im talking about)(for more info look at the 300 training video, its where the guy sprints and a band is attatched to him and a wall) -run with a weight vest (dont sprint, nothing exceeding 20lbs.) -sprinting with a sled (a weighted sled attatched to you by a cord) -explosive muscle training -plyometrics -a combination of any of these, like running sand dunes with a weight vest, parachute, and weighted sled. yeeeee try to get a running parachute.....the ones that sprinters use....that will help alot... running with ankle weights. so when you take them off you feel lighter and run faster. The methods that they have mentioned are correct and will help, however, i find that running hills, and more importantly just improving your running form can shave .2 to .3 off of your time. I would try to explain the proper running form, but it may take a while. mIke vick...enter the home and I swear you'll run like ..... try to find a speed camp near your area.. i did one for football through high school and increased my time a lot. if you don't wanna spend the money you can probably make your own routine, but the camps have helpful equipment and push you harder. we ran with parachutes, pushed big tires up and down hills and worked on our starting technique. also start squatting a lot and get your legs a lot stronger, as that will help with your quickness and explosiveness off the line There are many ways to improve your running speed. What I believe makes someone a faster runner is not necessarily how strong their legs are, but how quick they can move their feet. I know a very successful drill that can do that for you. You begin by making a straight line around 10 - 15 feet long. Make sure the line is not too thick. Then, starting from one end of the line, begin hopping from one side of the line to the other side of the line as quick as you can, working your way down the line as you go. Once you reach the end of the line, turn around and repeat the process going the other way. Doing this will build key muscles in your calves and thighs, but more importantly this will teach you to be light on your feet. If you can work this in to your daily schedule as a way of training, it will make you a faster runner and a better athlete. |
