Question

How can i learn to run faster and jump higher?

Answer 1

its not really a quick fix type of thing. Practice, Practace, Practace. Run short distances at first then gradually run longer and longer, and don't forget to rest. You could do weight training with your legs. If I remember right you need to rest every other day to let your muscles grow.

I used to play basketball, one of the things we did was to jump in place next to a wall to slowly strengthen our legs so we could jump higher.

Hopefully you don't overdo it because even though my mom used to be a personal trainer. Now mom has a knee replacement and the other knee is really torn and the cartilage is wearing away, probably will need another knee in a few years.

On the other hand my cousin is working on genetic engenering, currently she is working on growing cartaledge for knee replacement.

I'm on my high schools track team so I'll try to help you out.

-First off you need a lot more then a month to shape up and get in tone with all those events. (I've been train since late February and my first meet was last week)

-Remember you don't need a side walk to jog, go to a park or jog on the side of the street

------->TRAINING<-------

-->Warm up

-Start as soon as possible

-Start of with your jog around the block for a warm up

-Stretch...look up some should takes about 20-25 mins

-Do drills...(high knees, heel kicks, etc. look some up) [should take about 15 mins

-->Workout

- Seems like you a sprinter you need to ask your coach to set up workout schedule or you can make your own. For example (something soft since your starting up).

- 5, 100m at [70%] 8, 80m at [70%] and 6, 60m at [70%]

This is just an example of a work out you can add different distances and change intensities.

-->Cool Down

- After you main work out jog a cool down...about 600m jog

Then your work out is done.

As for high jump however your going to have to have the proper facility and training.

Answer 3

I have ran track since I was a little kid. So take my advice. If you have a long stride shorten it and you will run faster also you can do high knees and it helps to. To jump higher before you go up for the jump plant your feet into the ground hard and bring the foot that you didn't plant into the ground up into your chest and you will go higher. If this was a little to much sorry just tried to answer to the best of my ability.
