how do i get my speed up in running?

Answer 1

When my daughter was running highschool and AAU Junior olympic track and cross country, she trained with 1 pound weights on her ankles and also ran in the sand of a dry creek bed. The combination of the weights and the drag of the sand made her workouts harder but increased her speed and endurance.

Answer 2

Okay here is the thing you need to do. Basically you want to run faster. All you have to do is like everyday run 100m or 200m from the starting point to the end. You can start anywhere you want as long as you won't hit someone. Run to the end and come back to the starting point that's count as 2 times, so do it 8 times. Remember use your FULL SPEED. Also get a watch and time your self how long does it take you from starting point to the end and from the end to starting point. Starting point is like where you you start to run. The best place i should say it's school playground or at the park. Once you do that for a week if is too easy for you then try like 10 or 12 times.

Answer 3

Run sprints of 100m about 8 times at full speed. Then get yourself a nice pair of running shoes(dont have to be nike). Just wear what is most comfortable. I wear Nike shox, but they're also $100.00. The weights are a good idea, and would help a lot.

Answer 4

What event? 10/200/400M/ hurdles? what man? It will take different training programs for just for those events I listed, then you get into distance events which again is awhole lot different.

Well I will do something for the 100M, you can use for 200M alos but you'll need some speed endurance workouts too.
Practices should consist of a lot of speed drills and technique drills.

Warm up thoroughly. Speed and agility drills may not leave you out of breath but they do put considerable strain on your musculature.
typical session may consist of approximately 5 sets of 10 repetitions (each sprint being 1 repetition).
speed drills should be introduced late on in the pre-season phase. Two sessions a week is usually adequate. During the competitive season, one session per week may be enough. We do as many as 3-5 sessions per week.

Speed Drills

1. Basic Sprints
Set 2 cones out 10-20 meters apart. Sprint from one cone to the next and slowly jog back to the start.

2. Rolling Start
Exactly the same as above except you jog for 10 meters before sprinting. This drill is specifically designed to enhance acceleration rather than speed off the mark. Try running backwards or side stepping as well.

3. Down Hill Sprints (Over speed training)
Down hill speed and agility drills help to develop leg speed and co-ordination. This is sometimes referred to as over-speed training. Keep the distance short (10-15 meters) and make sure the hill is only slight.

4. Hollow Sprints
Set 5 cones out in 30 meters intervals. Sprint 30 meters, jog 30 meters, sprint 30 meters and jog 30 meters to the final cone. Walk back to the start and repeat.

5. Cruise And Sprint
Mark out a distance of 100 meters. From the start gradually accelerate to reach full speed at about 60 meters. Sprint all out for the final 40 meters.

3. Up Hill Sprints
In competition the first few strides are crucial. Running up a slight hill (about 30 degrees) helps to develop power and acceleration. Keep the distances short (10-15 meters) and allow extra rest between sets and reps.

Technique Drills
Focus on 3-4 drillsof these sprinting technique drills.

Raise Knees: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest
Sprint 10 meters concentrating on raising knees as higher than normal. Jog for 10 meters and then sprint for 10 meters and rest.

Fast Knee Pick Ups: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest
Jogging on the spot raise your knees to waist height while emphasising arm action. Move forward 10 meters with this action concentrating on the number of ground contacts rather than how fast you cover the distance. Try to get as many ground contacts as possible.

Flicks: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest
While sprinting over 10 meters concentrate on flicking your heels up to touch your butt.

Leg Speed: 60 meters
This is a normal sprint over 60 meters except all of your focus should be on your legs. Try to gauge the optimum leg speed for you by taking different stride lengths to see which yields the best results.

Answer 5

get Nike shoes. they help alot.
