How to become a faster short distance runner?

  • Although my body shape makes me look like I cant run at all, im one of the fastest in my class. Im taking part in sports day this year (its my last year) and me and my best friends ...show more

  • Answer:

    If you want to become faster in the 100m : SPRINT near, at, and above top speed as often as possible while staying as fresh as possible: 10m-55m on a track (at top speed), 10m-30m up a STEEP hill (near top speed under gravity's resistance), 10m-80m down a SLIGHT hill (above top speed with gravity's assistance), or bare-foot 3-5 step bursts out of the sand-pit (the shock-absorbing property of sand triggers your body to put out more power to make up for power that's lost to the sand). You always want you 1st 25m-35m to be in as few steps as possible. If you're not sprinting in these ranges every day, then you have no business imagining yourself becoming a sprinter.

Running long distance can make your short distance actually much faster. As well as doing interval training (running a sprint as fast as you can, then walk, then do it again). Doing ab workouts and push ups will also help you become a better runner. Running involves your whole body! Not just your legs. Also make sure to practice your starts because those are key to having a good race. Make sure you have good running technique too. Relax your shoulders and arms and don't look at the ground when you run, keep your eyes on the finish line. Doing all of these things should increase your running skill! I hope this helps you win!

Exercise, run, jog, eat, healthy, etc

For sprinting it is important to build up your leg muscles as they provide the power for you to accelerate quickly which is very important in short distance sprints. Try going to your school/local gym and using some of the weights machines for leg workouts and lift heavier weights rather than lighter ones because even if you do lighter weights for a longer time it builds up your muscle stamina rather than muscle strength. Of course you could just go for jogs or do some sprinting around where you live if you keep at that for a while it makes a huge impact.

eat healthy and run consistently. Ha a power lcean is a bar of weights you squat down and lift over your chest. Look on u tube

Do a lot of sprints. If you are running 100m's, then do 20 sets of 50m at race pace, or 12 sets of 100m at race pace. Then on off days you can do power cleans and hang cleans.
