Running a faster 100 meter requires a combination of both physical and mental preparation including, 1) proper warm-up, 2) technique and 3) a solid training routine.
So to start it’s important to get your blood flowing with five minutes of light cardio such as jogging or using a cardio machine before sprinting. This will help transport oxygen to your muscles and get them ready for the more demanding work ahead.
To improve your speed it’s essential to find the right balance of quantity and quality for your level of fitness and the event you’re training for. This may include good volumes of easy and steady running as well as other exercises such as hip thrusts, Bulgarian split squats, isometrics and Ankle exercises.
Proper sprinting technique is also crucial to running a faster 100 meter. During the first 30 meters or so focus on driving your arms and lifting your knees. As you reach max velocity around 40 to 70 meters, keep your head in line with your body and your eyes looking straight down the track in front of you.
Finally when you get towards the end lunge at the Finish Line as you cross it using all the energy you have left.
In addition to physical preparation, mental preparation is also important. Visualizing yourself running a successful race and focusing on positive self-talk can build confidence and reduce anxiety. It’s also important to set specific goals and create a training plan to help you achieve them.
So, in summary, running a faster 100 meter requires a combination of physical and mental preparation including proper warm-up, technique and training. By finding the right balance for your level of fitness and focusing on positive self-talk you can achieve your goals and improve your speed over time
