Answer 1

You have to have a good start, so practice coming out of the blocks. After you are upright and running, stand up straight, keep your elbows and 90 degrees and swing your arms straight front to back, not across your body. Keep your toes dorsi-flexed, that is do not point your toes down, but keep them up. Have your foot come back in a pawing motion at the same speed your are moving forward. Do not over stride so that your foot comes down in front of you. Stay relaxed, do not clinch your fists. Breath deeply do not gasp with short breaths. Run in a straight line do not weave down the lane. You should be at top speed at about 40 to 60 meters. Once you are at top speed do not try to run faster, concentrate on staying smooth and relaxed, so you will not slow down. Run past the finish line do not let yourself slow down a few steps before the finish. You can practice starts by coming out and building up for 40 meters. Try running fast on the straight, keeping your hands and body relaxed so you know how it feels to run at top speed and not tensing up by trying to run faster.

Answer 2

Would have been easier to answer this question if you gave your best time. I assume that you want to be a sprinter on a track team. If you're kind of slow, perhaps you should try a middle or longer distance event. To answer your question: There isn't much strategy for running the 60 or 100M. The start is very important. You don't have to worry much about breathing either,
just breath as comes naturally. Pump the arms, go straight ahead, knees high, all out, concentrate on the finish line, Run "through" the finish. And (You may not like this comment)
ask your parents , and close relatives if they are or were fast runners. Your genetic background may have a great bearing on your success. This is the one factor that you cannot change.

Answer 3

In the beginning,
remember to look down and move your feet as fast as you can.
Naturally, as you run, your stride will lengthen and your body and your eyes will come up.
Also, arm swings are very vital.
Your legs move with your arm so focus on your arm swings also.
The best thing to do for running is also just practicing.
In my experience, 8x200m below certain time workout works very well.
Remember to practice starting out of the block also.

Answer 4

WOW... if you ran 100m in 10.3 secs then thats a new world record... Current record for women's was set by Florence Griffith-Joyner at the 1988 Games in Seoul in 10.54 seconds Your either the best in the world at 14 or you made a mistake with the time.

Answer 5

the 100m is very short you need to give everything. when you finish you should feel winded as if you jogged 2 miles. make sure that you lengthen your stride. pump your arms and look up. don't look around at the other runners; pretend they aren't there so that you don't worry about the competition.

Answer 6

watch ur stride, make sure ur strides long n ur leg is extended, also talk 2 ur coach, maybe 100m isnt 4 u if u r kinda slow, maybe u should try 400m or 800m, hope this helps

Answer 7

Run at the first part and sprint at the end. That way you will have more energy. And if you don't, that means you ran too fast in the beginning. As my really-fast-running-classmate said "If you don't have enough energy, just suck it up and go for it" XD Not really agreeing with him, though.

Answer 8

you should were ankle weights while running. Also have someone holding a bungee cord with you on the other end and have them do faster than you to help the memory in your leg mussels get used to running faster.

Answer 9

no do not keep your legs far apart you will fall practice practice run with other runner listen to the older runners stay in shape

Answer 10

PRACTICE!!!! thats the only way u will get better !
