What would make you run faster?

Question

Apart from running. Just simple quick exercises

Answer 1

Running on a track with SPIKES, putting more effort into it, training more and harder, pushing yourself, having lots of excellent runners in the race, feeling well, HYDRATED, eaten lots of carbo the night before

^^ Lots of things can change your postition, even your mood.

Also, determination is key to running faster oh and dedication!

Answer 2

Are we talking sprinting or long distance?

If it's sprinting then heavy squats are a good exercise to build leg power as is plyometrics (bounding, hopping etc.), however when training for speed there's no substitute for short sprints (30-40m) at 100% effort and full recovery.

For long distance it's all about running I'm afraid, fartlek is one of the best ways to increase your race pace.

Answer 3

sprinting at 10-60m with full recovery

heavy squats

other strength work

plyometrics (jumping)

stretching

general fitness

technique work

Answer 4

Being chased by a tiger!

Answer 5

well for exercis wise (rhyme!=]) you would have to do the opposite of cardivascular excersies and it would have to be lower body. i recommend squats,on the spot jogs, some star jumps or anything to do with your legs, run on tip toes and at a low level to start with, don't tense anything but your legs while running (that wastes ALOT of energy) especially your arms and jaw, pump your legs AND arms powerfully but don't tense your arms.

Apart from that wear proper running gear if your up for it :)

Answer 6

stretching, plyometrics, a will to accomplish something

Answer 7

HMMM... think about this: When your @ the finish line and ur crush sees ur the FIRST to cross it, put the look of his face in ur head, and RUN.

hmmm, that was totally geeky, but like, WATEVAS

Answer 8

For sprinting, lunges, leg extentions and curls, calf raises, interval running, hill or bleacher repeats.  And always stretch after exercise.  Getting massage regularly will help you recover faster and get back to training.

Answer 9

interval training with fast efforts and recovery in-between. bets to go to a running club where this is part of training sessions - difficult to motivate yourself to do these on your own.

I also own one of thse GPS watches (by Garmin - "Forerunner") which shows your pace and you can race against a virtual runner - good for when you are out by yourself.

Answer 10

get some1 to pinch or *** really hard or shoot it with a pellet gun, the pain makes u run like a syko! >.<

Answer 11

Man with a gun

Rottweiler

Martians (after what happened last time, I'm just gonna run as fast as I can if I see them again)

Politicians

But seriously, folks:

Bodybuilding excercises for yer legs - increased strength = extra power

Stretching excercises - flexibility enables you to push harder without fear of injury

Practice

Answer 12

INTERVALS!!!  If you have a track near where you live, you should go up and run intervals.  I'm on the cross country and track team at my high school and that's what coach says is best for us to improve our times with!  You could run:

10x400 (one lap) at a 90 second pace with a minute break inbetween

6x600 at a 2:00~pace with a 90 second break

5x800 at a 3 minute pace with a 2 minte break inbetween

4-5x1000 (2 and a half laps) at a 3:15 pace with a 3 minute break inbetween

4x1200 at a 4:30 minute pace with a 3:30 break inbetween

or

3x1 mile repeats - you shoot to run a mile in around 6:30 and then you take a break for the same time that it took you to tun the mile.

After stretching and running a few warm-up laps, these excersices take aroun 30 - 45 minutes to complete.  I hope this helped!  =)

Answer 13

sprints

stretching helps

going down a hill

seeing the finish line

Answer 14

Telling myself i can go beyond my limits.

Answer 15

Use leg weights and go for short jogs or walks, and eventually get heavier weights and when you take them off you should feel alot lighter and be able to run with alot of ease

Answer 16

Anything that wants to kill me or a Police man...Never look back just run and run !!

Answer 17

these worked for me:

get a pitbull to chase you

wear a baseball cap, tie a string to the front and attach a $100 bill

Answer 18

Build up general muscle strength. Look at 100m sprinters. Think strong arms and strong legs. Lose body fat.
