Whether you're training for a race, looking to improve your personal best, or just want to run faster for fun, this countdown video will turbocharge your technique so you can start running faster.
Tip #5: Crescent Moon Technique - Where your foot strikes the ground in relation to the hips is critical when maximizing speed. This technique will help you achieve that position and is the fastest way for the legs to move during a sprint.
Tip #4: Front Leg Push - Most athletes make the mistake of pushing off both legs at the start. By starting off with a powerful push from the front leg, you'll be able to generate more force and momentum, which can help you maintain your speed and improve your running speed.
Tip #3: Lining Up Your Forces - The third tip focuses on aligning your body and forces properly to run in a straight line, minimizing wasted energy and improving your speed and efficiency. By maintaining a tall posture, engaging your core muscles, and aligning your head, shoulders, hips, and feet in a straight line, you'll be able to minimize lateral movement and maintain a more efficient running form.
Tip #2: Hip Flexor Strength - Hip flexor strength is the difference between good and great. The hip flexors play a crucial role in maintaining good running form and preventing injuries. By developing strong and flexible hip flexors, you'll be able to maintain a stable and upright posture, prevent excessive sway or rotation, and optimize your stride length and frequency.
Tip #1: Proper Ground Contact - The most important tip on our countdown emphasizes the importance of proper foot strike and ground contact and optimizing energy (hint, It's not running on your toes!) Proper ground contact and dorsiflexion is a fundamental aspect of running technique that can make a significant difference in your speed.
