How to run faster?

Are you a beginner in the field of running? Do you want to run faster than ever before? If yes, then read, understand, and follow this article thoroughly.

Most people think that running only needs one workout and that is "Running." I also used to think that you have to run more to run fast, but this is not so true. These people think that they have to run more and more to increase their stamina and energy level. Thus they will be capable of running faster than before.

To run faster, you have to do speed training more than fitness training. Because fitness is important but not much to increase the speed. I present you with everything you should know if you want to run fast as a beginner:

  • Start with firm determination
  • Don't be impatient
  • Other activities
  • Proper exercise

Start with firm determination

In the very beginning, you have to have firm determination. The determination that will take you from a beginner to an expert in running. You have to make your mind that you will never quit even in tough circumstances. You will have to make your goal before starting running because making a goal is a very important step for anyone going to do a new thing. For example, if you want to run fast, you should know what speed you want from yourself. This goal-making and firm determination will be so much helpful for anyone who want to run faster.

Don't be impatient

According to research, in a 1600 m race, most runners run faster in the first 400m, their stamina becomes low. But, they should run slow but steadily at the start, and then they should speed up in the last 400 m to win the race.  Normally when anyone starts a new work, he does it with his full strength. Even some people become impatient and start running more than their stamina. Increasing speed as a runner is a time taking process. It will take its time, but this eagerness and hunger to become a fast runner can harm you in these ways:

  • It can affect your muscles badly. So, You can face some muscle problems like cramps and pull of muscles.
  • If your weight is more than what you need, then you may hurt your joints along with your bones and muscles. The average weight of a 6 feet tall runner should be around 176 lbs (80kg).
  • In the beginning, overrunning can exhaust you, and you may get unconscious while running. It will affect badly to your health and your body.

Other activities

When you are running, you should not only stick with running. You should do some co-curricular activities. Those activities will be best that can help you to improve your speed as  a runner like:
