If you are doing strength training do strength exercises that most utilize and are specific to the body postures or neuromuscular patterns you will use during running. If you really want to improve your running, you should focus on resistance exercises that are more specific to the act of running.Prepare for a training session by carrying out routine stretching exercises, but it's important to remember that stretching helps to improve your static (non-moving) flexibility and may not do such a good job at preparing your body to move quickly and efficiently.
focus on ‘Dynamic Mobility' exercises
(stretches you out and keep you moving as you make the transition from resting to highenergy activity. You'll feel a sense of warmth and relaxation in your muscles – and perspire lightly by the end of your five- to seven-minute warm-up period.Dynamic Mobility exercises work on joints from your neck to your toes)
before every workout. best to place your static stretches at the end of your workout as part of the cool-down, not at the beginning of a training session. Static exercises help bring your body back toward a state of rest and recovery and allow you to relax and lengthen the muscles that you have put under stress during your workout.Placing static stretches at the beginning of a training session, on the other hand, tends to interrupt the natural flow of an optimal warm-up and fails to prepare you fully for the dynamic movements that follow.
These agility exercises can be used to develop speed and quickness
Box Drill
Mark out a square approximately 10 meters/yards by 10 meters/yards. Place a cone in the center of the square. This is the starting position. Each corner is given a number or name. someone calls out a number or name at random and you must run to the corresponding corner and return to the center.
over-speed training:Use a dry, non-bumpy grass area that allows you to sprint 20m on the flat (to accelerate to near maximum speed), sprint 15m down a 1-degree slope and then sprint 15m on the flat.
Towing methods, including bungees
Use a bungee 20-25m long and secure it tightly around your waist and to an immovable object (such as a football goal post). Walk back to tension the bungee. The further you walk back, the greater the tension produced, but 25m is a good starting point allowing runs at 75% effort to be performed.
Progress until sufficient confidence and condition is developed to sprint flat out and eventually over-speed.
For speed endurance
Run repeat pyramids (100 m, 200, 300, 400, 300, 200, 100.)
Start from blocks drill
stand straight with feet together. Gradually begin to bend forward until gravity forces you to take a step forward to balance yourself. At this point, take off at a sprint for 15 yards. The idea is to tilt forward as far as you can and begin sprinting without stumbling. Drive the legs powerfully and pump the arms trying to get the elbows as high as possible in the rear with each swing. This will imitate the angle at which you must begin from, and teach you to explode under control.
Jog slowly in a straight line and have someone signal jump in the air and turn around 180 degrees and immediately fall into a starting position only for a second. Then accelerate and sprint for 15 yards. This should help you to feel the explosiveness needed to get out of the blocks quickly. Only your feet and hands should touch the ground in the set position and do not jump too high. Work on maintaining balance and focus although you are jumping and turning.
