How can I improve my running stride?

Question

I want to run faster but still have good stride any good tips?

Answer 1

Try these.
Best performed when you are fresh and fully warmed up, with full recovery between sets.Do 1-2 sets for each

Alternating Strides
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
10-20 meter sprint. Jog into the start of the drill for forward momentum.
You should focus on accelerating as quickly as possible by powering away with your arms and legs.

Accelerating Sprints
This drill requires you to mark out distance of about 100meters 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. repeat after full recovery

Answer 2

about the comment with the "heels". u only run on ur heels and roll them in that way if u are running a long distance. if ur thinking of shorter distances than running on your toes are the key. yes, ur feet will probably tire after the race but you cant cover much ground fast if u run on your heels. trust me!!

anyway, do some workouts like, 10x 200 m or 8x 400 meters, something like that and just concentrate on your form. make sure than when u move ur arms that they are at a 90 degree angle in the backswing and dont forget to bring ur knees up too! once you have good form the speed will catch up, it just takes time and practice. good luck! :-)

Answer 3

hello. deliver a stopwatch and visual show unit your p.c... once you're at the instant working a 12 minute mile, attempt to slender all of it the way down to 11, then 10, and so on. additionally, you will advance your velocity in case you upload some sprints into your jog. After each mile or so, spring a pair hundred yards. solid success.

Answer 4

take long steps. and try to put your foot down heel first. if you run on your toes it'll make your calves stronger but they will tire faster. and toe first tends to result in more ankle injuries.

Answer 5

first you have to pave the way, and after that be sure that that's the thing that you really want to do. follow your heart desires that makes you happy.

Answer 6

just run dont even think about it
