how to run faster in a 100 race?

Question

I want to increase my speed of running, what shall i do

Answer 1

Work On your leg muscles, that'll help you run faster, because your legs will be able to move you faster [push you off, w/e people call it]
Also after you've excercised your muscles, and done a few laps, stretchs, speed runs, Time yourself, and try to improve your time [timing has already been stated]
Hoep that helps :]!!

Answer 2

I used be in cross country and do 3 and 4 mile runs. The best thing to do is, eat healthy no sugars or stuff like that. Run everyday do the 100 on your own a few times aday to increase your speed and then also run 2 or 3 miles everyday to increase your stamania which will give you more of a kick at the beginning and more energy to run with. Also good thing to on race day is eat spaghetti for the Carbo's, which also give more energy to run when running. Hope this helps a little. Also weight training is also a good idea, but I recommend talking with a weight trainer for that to make it a specialized work out to help your power in your legs. Since they'll know more on how to do that.

Answer 3

First, get the necessary supplies, like light thin sport socks, sprinting spiked shoes, short and light pants (not so great for looks but it helps trust me), and a light loose jersy (not too lose or else yo get air resistance).
This stuff will cut down ur race by at least a second or 2 compared to without, and 1 or 2 seconds in a 100 is big.

Also, 100's have blocks, so do tons of practice with the blocks so you can use them in a way comfortable and helpful to you.

A third is reaction time. Do anything that increases reaction time. Practice starting and just sprint for like 10 m. Just do the start. Do excersizes like dropping a pencil and catching it with same hand and mental stuff like that (this sharpens mind, but not as important as physically practicing starting)

Then you need to accelerate quickly and get very fast. 100 is basicly how quickly you can accelerate. Work on starting at full speed. To get very fast, do 50 m sprinting full speed, then jog another 50, then do another 50 full speed, and keep doing this and it'll help the acceleartion and speed.

Despite common thinkin, sprints do need a lot of endurance. Cause ur going full speed ur endurance disappears in like a sec. So you should common (not often just go out whenever possible) and do a long steady, not too slow run, preferably around 3 miles. This will help endurance and it does help strengthen muscles

Last, the arms. WOrk on swing the arm techniques. They are essential. And work out a lot on all parts of your body to get them super strong. Every little extra strength is needed in short races like 100m

Answer 4

What has this question got to do with horse racing? but anyway practise running a big longer and get a stop watch and time your self over the 100 metres try to get a better time every time practise practise coming off the start as fast as you can and when running move your arms as fast as you can also at the last maybe 50 metres start going as fast as you possibly can

Answer 5

well for one, distance running doesn't really do anything for you. Don't listen to all that increase your mileage junk. 100m is completely different. The reason that doesn't help is because the 100m is an anerobic event, not an aerobic event. It's almost completely muscle-based. One is to practice your starts, better your form and reaction, the more time you'll shed. Second, do squats, leg workouts with weights. The stronger your legs, the harder you can push off and last longer. This will increase your stride as well. Build strength while staying as light as you can. Strength is key in the 100m. Look at those 300 pound football players that run 10 second 100 m. This is a strength event.

Answer 6

Good coach, talent, and practices that include drills, good technique and explosive power.The more force a muscle can produce, the more potential there is for greater power and speed.

A basic speed training program can be adapted by running uphill and downhill. Incline running helps to improve power during hip flexion and extension.Downhill running is effective at improving co-ordination and stride frequency.

Speed training
A typical speed session might consist of 5 sets of 10 repetitions in total. You could do 1 set of each of the speed training drills below or choose 3 drills and do 1-2 sets of 10 sprints for each. you should be fully warmed up before starting a speed training session. Do at least 10 mins light aerobic exercise followed by some dynamic stretches.

Avoid static stretcing in the warm up. These are best left until the end of the session when increasing/maintaining flexibility is important.

Try some of these drills in your workouts
Speed Training Drills

Alternating Strides
Speed training drills like these help to develop foot speed and co-ordination. 1. Set up a series of cones in a straight line. The first 10 cones should be about 1 meter/yard apart. The next 10 should be 2 meters/yards apart.
2. From standing start sprint the total length of the cones taking one step between each marker.
3. The cones close together will encourage faster, shorter strides. You can gradually decrease the distance between cones as you progress. Walk slowly back to the start to recover.

Alternating Starts
The basis of these speed training drills is a 10-20 meter/yard sprint. You should focus on accelerating as quickly as possible by powering away with your arms and legs. If your sport involves reacting quickly from different starting positions (as most sports do) try to vary the starting position. Examples include doing a press up then sprinting, sitting on your hands, lying face down, doing 5 squat jumps before sprinting etc.

Accelerating Sprints
This drill requires you to mark out distance of about 100 yards/meters where you can sprint in a straight line. You also need to mark a halfway point either with some landmark or a mark on the ground. Starting at one end, gradually accelerate to reach full speed at the halfway point and continue to sprint to the end. Slow down gradually to a jog, turn and walk/jog back to the start.
Speed training drills like these help to develop speed and power endurance. Remember though the emphasis should be on the quality of the sprint so allow plenty of time to recover as you walk between sprints.

Answer 7

u go to weightlifting during track season, and do a lot of squads and leg press that helps. But i stiill think sprinter has70% of natural talent and 30% of pratice to be better, I never try too hard in pratice and i still run good times at the meet.
Check your foot, if the outline of the bottom is curved u are gonna be fast and if it is flat-footed, u will suck

Answer 8

i think u should start practicing with timers.
1-at first start runnig at ur original speed. after completing 1run look at the timer
2-try to cover the same distance by running faster and beat the first timing in ur timer.

Answer 9

the biggest speed increase for me came when I learned how to properly "pull" the ground beneath me when I reached my top speed. Practice straight leg excels in your spikes, when your running well you can really feel the tension in your quads.

Answer 10

Practise your starts and also do repititions of 40/50m at 100% speed
