This couldn’t be further from the truth. So, essential muscles to a sprinter’s speed are being left underdeveloped. These underdeveloped muscles are why… read more

Flexibility is vital for sprinting performance. It enables proper stride mechanics, range of motion and injury prevention. Flexible hip flexors, hamstrings and calf muscles ensure efficient leg extension enhancing speed and reducing the risk of strains. It’s essential to run faster and win more races but how do you increase leg flexibility? Include dynamic stretches before workouts and static stretches after training. Consider practices like yoga and pilates. Consistency is crucial. Gradually increase the stretch depth and duration. #runfaster #running #run #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #runner #runhappy #instarunners #instarun #trackandfield #fitness #runnerscommunity #runningcommunity #runners #runfast #tracknation #training #marathontraining #runrunrun #runningcoach #trailrunning #runnerslife… read more

But that means every athlete has untapped speed through our hip flexors. So the takeaway… switch up your training routine to… read more
