How to Run Faster - Speed Training Drills to Improve Overall Speed, Sprinting Mechanics, and Form

[bourquechris]

Very nicely explained. Clear and concise. Drills are awsome and challenging and likely effective.

Question: does adding resistance (e.g., hand and ankle weights, sleds, etc.) make you a "faster" runner? Anyone?

[thegolfguy1234567]

@bourquechris It can, but only if u sprint in them. u can do jogs from time to time, but focus on sprinting, and that will make u faster.

[DownThenUp]

what kind of shoes do you have??? its sick

[TheMightOfChina]

Its good to run, but find a way to be durable to maintain it.

[jmoneyATL95]

Thank u very much. Now i can show my teammates some tips cause our track coaches are noobs

[sinisterslug1]

now i need to lose some fat

[Kevin777android]

I run faster than all in my class but my ribs start hurting mad fast,

[kolesakz]

Or... you can just run 1km every day.

[thegolfguy1234567]

@kolesakz if u jog everyday that can make u slower. becuase it engages ur slow twitch muscles therefore allowing u to run longer distances but slower. if u want to be fast u want to do sprints at set distances regularly and do these excercises to engage ur fast twitch muscles allowing u to run faster but shorter distances.

[DCfan971]

I'm running my 40 monday i hope this works.

[MrSmosh95]

My sports day is tomorrow this really helps.

[psychoPREZ]

i went from a 6.3 to 5.4 that was a major improvment

[shockadt1]

thank you for explaining how to run fast u explain it well

[YMCAfanFOl1fe]

I'm an offensive tackle can this also help me get faster because I way about 250 pounds

[aerosteel2009]

This stuff works.  They teach these things at Parisi Speed School and other places like that. Trust me this works

[shadowwolfX73]

this is retarded

[22hendersonashley]

@shadowwolfX73

Your retarded. This really helps

[GuyWithGun789]

cann we actually get alot faster?like an increase of 2 tenths of a second in a 40 yard dash? im sure you can improve a bit but i think in a game situation u would run naturally how you always run.

[sev00177]

@GuyWithGun789 the key to doing these drills is to do them often enough that you're body automatically does these without you thinking. if you need to think about keeping good form, you're not doing these drills enough.

[GuyWithGun789]

@sev00177 man thats gonna be hard trying to fit it in with school too. im trying to invest in some finger shoes too to help my running

[GuyWithGun789]

@sev00177 how much should i do this a week

[sev00177]

@GuyWithGun789 I'd say once a day. Include them in your workout, first thing in the morning, or right before you go to sleep, whichever is most convenient for you.

[BigDaddyPimpin24]

@purplecheetah99 stop watching videos on here and run more

[Gripit65]

[qwersdxqwersdx]

TIP: Don't do ANY of these warm up techniques in public places

[runwii1]

[Ollig999]

the best drill is to run and possibly quick latter steps

[ravenZbest]

i like pie

[Agbonbanditto]

Pokiaka: it's just like Music

If the drummer plays a faster beat, then the dude on the guitar has to play faster too! Otherwise it would be a mess.

In the same way you have to keep arms and legs in the same rythm. If your arms moves faster it allows your legs to move faster too!

You cannot just speed up the movements of your legs and let the arms go slow. It would definately be weird ;)

[DrPokiaka]

2:09 Why the faster my arms move the faster my legs move? anyone who knows please reply and tell me :O I really wanna know. thanks :)

[ClaymoreDelson]

@DrPokiaka it's just the way it is - like when you walk you sway your arms and when you run your arms move too... i'm pretty sure it's a counterbalance mechanism because when you raise your left leg you raise your right arm and vice versa :) i hope this helps

[xXxBOLTxX]

@DrPokiaka That's because, while running or walking, your arms and legs are connected and help each other stay in balance. For example, when you move your right arm, your left leg can gain momentum easier and with more balance than when your arm is still... Try it out yourself, that will help you realize what I'm talking about :)

[DrPokiaka]

@xXxBOLTxX Oh I see :) thank you so much! :D to gain the most momentum I need my arms at a certain angle, farther away from my body as I can or..?

[xXxBOLTxX]

@DrPokiaka Yes, but your arms need to be at the best angle for you, because not everyone run with the same arm (elbow) position. For instance, I run with arms bent less than 90 degrees (sharp angle) because I like it that way and I'm more comfortable with it. Just try to position your arms naturally and you'll get better results.Another thing: you shouldn't keep your arms further away from your body as you can because that might cause bad balance while running, especially in a straight line :D

[metalflames4]

lol im in the 100 meter in my school tomorrow. im in 8th grade. the 7 ppl other than me are twice my size so i really need some tips

[holyrocnroll]

@VoreTechz1985 wow you really got creative with that one

[xfunnybeex]

have your body at 45 degree angle... is someone having a big protector..?? 

[123moomoo321]

you don't Catch Footballs - You shoot 'em !!! :D :D

[youknowit7274]

Never bring your heel to your butt. It causes a slow recovery action thus shortening your stride length.  The heel should be recovered high under your butt. Striking directly under the center mass.

[MrYeksoft]

It works this 10 year old even used it with football gear on check it out!

[gogetaX50]

Thanks.I'm getting prepared for field day

[needgumeveryday]

Thanks so much. This will help me for the shuttle run test!(:

[AznboiLee]

Great tips and advice. Helped me a lot in my form and speed. 

[brofromanothermo97]

I know that the faster your arms go the faster you will generally run, but i need to build up more muscle in my legs, especially my hamstrings and glutes. Does anyone have any tips to build these up quicker so that I can be quicker?

[pikeymikey1990]

@brofromanothermo97 u need to get to a gym

& start doing squats

[ripperduck]

You hit the mark when you talked about running relaxed. That was the most important thing for me to overcome with my sprinting, the fact that I tensed up rather than relaxed when I would run. Once I practiced and practiced and got a hold of my mind and emotions in a better way, I became A LOT faster....

[Tips4Running]

good point on the shorter lever, longer lever analogy. 

[e44note]

how would a sprinter train with weights?

[shreyas427]

@e44note tie the weights to ur limbs and run as fast as u can do it regularly u cn hav a bit change in ur speed

[e44note]

@shreyas427 What about like squats or something? what would your rep range be? and would you be explosive on each rep?

[shreyas427]

@e44note my rep range is 23-24 yup i am exp on each rep

[MrTorray7]

Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life :)

[Cybrisk]

@TheMith78 umm... no offense, but what does that have to do with the video?

[Cybrisk]

@TheMith78 oops my bad nevermind, I didn't see the end of the video when I replied to you. Sorry.

[XxMw2XxMod18Xx]

in football if ur a WR and u catch the ball and then run with it would u only have ur hand open in the hand that doesnt have the ball?

[licorne48]

@XxMw2XxMod18Xx not obliged, because the goal of opening the hands is for catching the ball. but maybe you're gonna keep them open after making this drill for a long time

[n4ruto1k4]

Nice Videos Man, I was wondering - Any tips for a tennis player?

Thanks.

[kokonut811]

is it good for stepping/juke in rugby

[samoa4300]

@kokonut811 It would be, this type of training promotes explosiveness which is the main ingredient in side stepping/juking

[pikawho1]

2:30 i though he took both hands off and was a freakin alien or sumtin???!!!

[skaterdude431s]

at 1:14 newton's 3rd law of motion

[K1izCyrax]

@MrHaydenjh yes this will mainly with your technique, but you also have to do explosive workouts like powerclean, squats, explosive jumps like tuck jumps (using a weighted vest makes this more effective) the key thing though is training fast if you want to get fast, you must train fast

[MrHaydenjh]

Will this work because im a left guard i run a 5.8 or 5.7 and i really want to be a linebacker im good size for it im 5'11 and 180 pounds im a freshman please reply

[MrJordiR]

my instuctions

1. you need to be black to be really fast

2. 1.80/1.90m is the best height for sprinters 100m/200m

3. its just move your leggs faster than your oppenent

[Sohaibence31]

awesome video! this will help me chase down the boy rapers running from the law

[NyYankeesRthaBesT]

[TheCMBmom]

[bugsbbunny]

I have a great drill to be faster: Be Black

[SOAD764]

will this help me run away from cops? or should I watch parkour vids

[Cnote39legend]

@SOAD764 It definitely helps you get away from cops so does parkour...only thing is you gotta be fast to outrun a K9 if they unleash it...and also beware of tasers...cops are noobs now adays so their fat ass cheat and use tasers

[laur121212]

@SOAD764 why not both ? :)

[kavonfresh]

@SOAD764 lol he said will this hep me run from the cops



[RizeMeteor]

@SOAD764 dnt ruin our reputation by abusing PK >:C unless its a joke, then stop joking about it...

[Akid0Kag3]

@SOAD764 Parkour

[B3llBoyZ]

@SOAD764 I recommend both. :) Trust it worked for me.

[98onepiece]
