It’s important that you build up a good foundation of fitness first, by walking
initially and adding small amounts of gentle running in between before attempting to run faster. Because starting
off easily and building up slowly is probably the easiest way to start running a little quicker.
The following 5 tips will give you some good ideas for increasing your
speed...
How To Run Faster - Tip #1
Use a stopwatch to time all of your runs. Start doing this now by recording every run you do this week including the route and the time
it takes you to complete. Next week your aim will be to beat each of this week’s times. Not by much, just a little
faster.
How To Run Faster - Tip #2
Write down a plan of action. On this
plan you must show a constant and steady progression of the speed of runs that you do. Writing down your goals and projected times like this will help you to
subconsciously run faster.
So for example let’s say that one of your runs takes you 20 minutes to complete.
On your plan you write down 20 minutes as your week 1 time, then on week 2 you write 19.45, then week 3 – 19.30 and
so on.
Be sure to make your progressions realistic. You know how hard you run and how
much faster you think you could go.
How To Run Faster - Tip #3
Listen to some uplifting music.
Something that lifts your emotions when you hear it. That way whenever you start to slow down, the next track you
hear will give you another boost and help you to increase your speed again.
How To Run Faster - Tip #4
Run with someone that’s faster than you. You don’t want an Olympic medallist pushing you along, just someone that’s a little quicker
than you. By running alongside them, your pace will naturally increase to keep up.
How To Run Faster - Tip #5
Top up your fuel tank. A couple of
hours before you run, eat a meal full of carbohydrates. Things such as rice, pasta, sweet potato/potato and grains
are perfect for this job. Have plenty so you feel full as this will ensure that your energy stores are as full as
they can be.
Be warned you must allow enough time for these foods to be fully digested which
normally takes around 2 hours if it’s a carbohydrate based meal.
So there you have it my top 5 tips for how to run faster. Using a combination of these will
give the best results, but use any and you’ll start to see an increase in your speed.
