Thanks for these great training tips! As a novice runner I find your vids very accessible. Looking forward to seeing how these exercises improve my running.
I love this simple approach to training for speed. A couple of exercises and some fartleks. I've never wanted to do speedwork because, for me, I don't want to have to think about running when I'm running. I like how he demystified and simplified the fartleks for me, like run faster every time I hit an uphill or downhill. This way I can easily integrate some speedwork into my runs without having to think too much.
SUMMARY: 1. Four minutes of Intensity Training: 20 seconds of work 10 seconds of rest burpees Squat Jumps 2. JUMPING EXCERCISE: Hips back, arms back, throw arms up and propel forward onto a stable elevated surface. Maintain a straight back and land lightly on your feet. 3. Fartlek exercise
This vid is God-sent!! THANK YOU!!! i did all as instructed on the vid. Im getting ready for a physical assessment test that requires a 1.5 mile run and this video just motivated me. Great easy tips! Awesome view!
Thank you so much 😊 I have tryouts for track and the coach is very strict and thank you so much again for motivating me and making me run faster and I only have three days to practice and get my crap together I will be doing this for at least 3 hours
This was great, thanks, I have been researching "improve running speed quickly" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ralebney Running Recoilless - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin got amazing results with it.
Vikas, rather than just keep doing what you're doing, you could start by evaluating your base aerobic capacity, and assessing whether you respond to longer aerobic workouts or higher intensity intervals. Do a 3-mile time trial, pick either high-intensity or aerobic (30+min) workouts and stick to it for 3 weeks. Then reassess your 3-mile time. If you see improvement, stick with it! If you don't see improvement, switch to the other option for 3 weeks.
like anything else, the more you do it, the more comfortable you'll be. Keep working on step ups until they feel pretty comfortable... from there, add a little height, and eventually go back to a low height and try with a jump. Drive the knees up and snap the hips quickly to get the feet under you and onto the box. This should help!
same question I could tell at the first glance this place was looking very suspicious WhoAAAA The Most Beautiful City of San Francisco. Once had a best teacher of English I could ever get and he was from San Francisco. RunningExperience is the best training a runner can get on RU-vid!!!!!!
Am watching this Beacuse am fat but am also one of the fastest or the fastest idk yet in my school some how today I did 100m in 10.27 second so am trying to get faster but sadly some people is calling me a fat fire ball 😟
Thats ok, I'm no expert but a 6/mile in a month is probably not possible. I suggest you visit Sage Canadays RU-vid channel for some really good content that will help you improve. Good luck.
I think you could get there in 3 months! just make sure you're working some tempo workouts into your training and stay on top of your mobility and injury prevention exercises to keep your body in shape as you train!
You can start with some Kettlebell swings! The dynamic hip motion required to get the weight into the swing is the same as what it takes to jump out of a squat. You can also do fast air squats, emphasizing the extension out of the bottom with a big hip thrust. These will help without requiring a jump!
Here's another fartlek technique to also make it fun. Run with a partner or a small group and agree how many fartleks you are planning on doing before starting your normal route/mileage for the run. Then after a warm-up we take turns declaring the challenge and after everyone recovers together back to a 'conversational pace' before someone throws out the next challenge. For example, the first person will say 'fast as you can go from the lightpost to the stop sign' everyone does it and then recovers. Next, maybe a quick pace to the top of the hill and so on. The more technical the group is the more you can focus on areas for improvement. You mentioned stairs, on one occasion we changed the route and did a 4-story staircase in a parking deck and an easy pace down the ramps. Just another idea.
Hi there, just wanted to say thank you for the great tips. Just did the Gorge Waterfalls run in Portland and your tips definitely help keep the legs fresh...
This is a great video. Short and to the point. I wish I had found this video when I was training for my first marathon. I'm looking for my next race now, probably an ultramarathon, so I'm glad I found this channel!
Awesome! Give our Training Club a look if you like: get.therunexperience.com/training-club It comes with full access to our Marathon Training program and tons of other great stuff.
What would you recommend as an overall strength/fitness program to complement running? Traditional weight training with heavier weights or P90x? Thx love the channel!
Waseem Awati I've heard of boxers eating raw garlic to open up the lungs. Probably takes awhie to get rid of the garlic after-taste and scent from inside your body. 🤔
Really great tips! Definitely need to develop hip and glute strength to become a stronger / faster runner. Do you think that doing kettlebell swings also helps to develop hip strength? Lastly, any tips on developing turnover?
absolutely! Kettlebells are great to use and we've posted a number of strength workouts using them. Check out our full RU-vid channel for some good stuff addressing cadence & footstrike. They should help you better focus on these aspects!
