How do I shave seconds off my 200m dash?

Answer 1

You'll need Correct Sprint Posture, Correct Start and position from the blocks
Speed is related to power (the ability to apply a great deal of force in a very short moment of time). Power is related to strength. Sprinting strength can be enhanced with weight training to develop the gluteus maximus and hamstring muscles, which are the primary movers for explosive hip extension and maximum acceleration. Strengthening the abdominal muscles and hip flexors improves acceleration and stride length.
a thorough warm-up is important,do some aerobic running as a part of your off-season and pre-season preparation. Steady runs at a moderate pace,focus on all aspects of sprinting: speed, strength, technique, acceleration, endurance, and stamina,for 200m you'll need Speed-endurance training which requires a full recovery between repetitions.

try these workouts
1)
Complete four to six reps of form accelerations. These accelerations begin slowly with a jog and build up smoothly and quickly to 90 per cent of maximum speed over a 30-50 metre distance. Then maintain this speed for an additional 20-30 metres.
2)
Do two repetitions ('reps') of 60-80 metre strides at about 75 per cent of your maximum speed, with a 60-80 metre, walk-back recovery.
3)
Follow this with two 40-50 metre accelerations, from 50 per cent to 90 per cent of maximum Use a slow walk back to the starting point, while keeping your legs loose and relaxed for recovery

Answer 3

Two suggestions one of which will cost you some money:

1) Run against resistance. I'd recommend buying a speed parachute - there are loads of places where you can buy them. Here's one: http://www.timeforfitness.com/running/

2) Mix in some hill running into your training schedule. I found this gave me a burst that I didn't have before.

Good luck !

Answer 4

Learn to get in the 3-point stance you get about 2-3 seconds ahead. And try to have a swift motion( no changing your motion while running ). And also try to lean forward once yuo get to the end. And whatever you do, DO NOT STOP.
