Speed is the ability to cover a distance in the shortest amount of time.

In improving speed, the application of running mechanisms and acceleration training is an effective way to help you improve your ability to sprint faster. It is important to do short distance sprint training 2 to 3 times a week. If you’re doing your first sprint run, 4 laps is enough. After a few sprints, you can gradually increase the number of sprints to 8 or 12 depending on your physical fitness and goals.

Sprinting is a high-intensity interval training that will consume all the oxygen in your muscles. You need adequate rest time between each sprint to maximize your speed and allow oxygen to return to your muscles. Otherwise, you may feel nauseous or dizzy. Remember that you need rest between sprints so your body can recover. You can run at the same speed many times, but for every 1 second you run, you should rest 3 seconds. For example, if you sprinted for 30 seconds, you should rest for 90 seconds, if you sprint for 60 seconds, rest for 3 minutes.

Before doing sprint exercises, 5-10 minutes of warm-up run and dynamic stretching exercises should be applied. These exercises are included in the workout.
