practice hard.work on it try and run some distance too i know that seems stupid but it will build you up even if you do run sprints. I ran in high school. It takes time and a lot of practice you are not just going to be "great at it" you have to work at it. Work everydayCould I get faster in running if I sprint with 8 pound weights in each arm?
I would say run everyday on your own time and slowly see if you get faster, I mean time yourself.How far is 20 city blocks compared to a Mile?
If you want to run fast you should probably go to bed earlier the day bfore the track so you'll have energy. If that doesn't work you should get up in the morning on the day of the track and drink some coffee or take some caffine pills that should give you an energy boost.What is a good workout for practice for running the 400m in track?

Pedometer troubles? how much is 0.081 miles? or 0.132Km?
i heard that if u put your t-shirt or any other clothing by your to cover it u can gain more stamina and increase speed..cause when your tired and u breath too hard...u wanna relax...i did this..it took me 7:30 to run a mile and now when i put my shirt against my mouth my time is 6:47..i know it sounds stupid..it works...cause when u breath..your letting out all your breath and the air...if u convert it back to your mouth then u can gain more air to breath...trust me..it worksWhat have you found that works well for fatigued quads?
speed workouts is what u should focus on. all out sprints for a short distance and about 2 min rest. thats what i do..Is there any LEGAL pills that can get u faster??
I'm fourteen and had the same problem when I was in seventh grade! Don't panic! Stress will affect your running mentality! Perfect your form. This will help you beat a faster runner wth poor form! Here is the key to good form: 1, keep your arms crooked at 90 degree angles and imagine them as pendulums. "knife your hands" instead of making a fist. 2, stride is important. When reaching the latter half of a sprint , try lifting your knees as high as you can. 3. Eliminate extra movement and just focus on running as fast as you can. 4, Keep a STRAIGHT POSTURE during the sprint!! slouching will make you run slower. Good luck!!make goals for your self. You can't just decide to go out and run so hard one day and expect to be great. (trust me i have been a runner for a long time) If you run for a certain amount once a day then you should be able to do great. Just don't run the same thing everyday. Spice it up a bit and run shorter or longer distances. Are you a long distance or short distance runner? If you are a short distance runner then try finding a flat surface road, there run back and forth picking your knees up and keeping your arms beside your body at a 90degree angle. Picking your knees up helps getting your legs fit for sprints. For long distance try running circuit around a track. Jog the curves and sprint the lengths. This helped me during cross-country for recovery during a race. And also getting a pace set. Well good luck =]
Are Ankle Weights Safe While Running?
Your very young and if you wanted to get serious i world get a coach. DONT run every day you need recovery time for the muscles to heal. im in my late teens and i was going to be a state runner, i was really fit for my age then osteitis pubis came through. at the 7th grade you dont want that. before i got this i would say push the limits but now i dont recommend it at all... ensure you have enough recovery days and work out what days are your 90 -95 % intinsity days and which are your 50%. I WOULD get your coach, gym or Phys ed teacher to help you out here.specific training performed at a high intensity level and good recovery,varying the starting type for the sprints from standing, rolling and flying starts.
and you can work out everyday just make sure your workouts outs are varied, speed one day, endurance the next and have 1 rest day before competition day
Work on a quick and consistent reaction to the gun by training for this aspect on a regular basis.
START PHASE
Bodyweight should be evenly distributed over four contact points in the start position (i.e. hands and knees). Front knee angle is 90°, rear knee angle 100-130°.
Explosive push off with both legs. Front leg extends remaining in contact with the ground while back leg swings forward. Extended front leg and trunk form a straight line.
Arms swing opposite to legs, elbows flex to 90° and fists swing towards forehead.
ACCLERATION PHASE
After first two strides, foot touches down in front of center of gravity.
Forward body lean begins to decrease until normal sprinting position is reached after about 22 yards (20 meters). Head is relaxed, eyes focused straight ahead.
MAXIMUM SPEED PHASE
Body/core is almost erect with 5o° forward lean.
(Midflight) Push-off leg folds tightly towards buttocks in a relaxed ‘heeling’ motion. Front leg thrusts forward and upward at maximum speed When front thigh reaches maximum possible knee lift, lower leg swings forward in a relaxed movement.
Foot meets ground with ankle slightly extended (plantar flexion) directly under center of gravity. Bodyweight is balanced so that only the ball of the foot touches the ground.
Shoulders remain steady, elbows flexed at 90°, kept close to body throughout all phases. Hands swing forward and up above shoulder height, down and past hips. Arms and hands should have an aggressive hammering action. Head aligns naturally with trunk and shoulders and facial/neck muscles are relaxed by keeping the mouth slightly open.
Always run through the finish line! Know the location of the finish line. Dipping at the line should be an action that is rehearsed, but used only when absolutely necessary in competitions.
