How To Run Efficiently

How To Run Efficiently... A Running Tips

I’m may not be a marathon athlete, but I have run better enough now in 30’s than I’m in 20’s. My skills and knowledge may not transform casual jogger to Olympic dasher but it may be useful enough for a mere casual jogger to chase girls and control lung strong enough for a consistent conversation, or else you will look like old dog panting for oxygen.

I read and I practice of what I read about running efficiently and maintain what comfortable to me. I write down here How To Run Efficiently as reference for those who want to add little speed and add little distance in their running.  I want to share this running tips, that I practice in all this while that I feel good enough to improve my own running;

1. Do sufficient Warm up and stretching. Like car that need sufficient warm up to prepare for higher engine revolution otherwise it will ruin itself, our body also act in the same way. Unprepared muscle will show signal of tight sensation on your leg and could lead to muscle pull. In contrast, warm muscle would able to contract and stretch effectively and help for efficient oxygen calories burn and energy release. If Warm up and stretching would make less macho for you then or you are too late to chase girls then do for lower body part is the least.

2. Land on front half of your feet not on your toe and not on your heel because you are not walking and you are not flying either. This technique that mimic barefoot running motion would help you how to run efficiently and feel as natural.

3. Aim for optimum stride. Stride too long it will create a braking effect, and stride too short simply mean you are not running as efficiently you could be. Push your long nice leg as long as possible backward and land as near as possible to your centre of gravity.

4. Don’t run hard but quick. You may overtake a favorite champion on the start by doing 100m sprint but a champion would just maintain a consistent quick pace to overtake you again on the next 100meter.

5. Maintain comfortable breathing. If you have difficulty to complete a sentence to your friend then you are pushing yourself too hard.

6. Bent forward from your heel not from your waist otherwise you look like an old chap have problem with his spine. Bent forward help you to maintain a forward momentum and enable you to run efficiently

7. Do it like “macam itik pulang petang” (literally in Bahasa Malaysia it meant "like Donald Duck gait". Get what I meant? Do not crouch.. open your chest.. pull out your bumper.. and start running!!!

8. Don’t forget to keep your hand close to your body.. otherwise you are wasting more energy to keep stability.

9. Land your feet on straight line. If your are running on tar road try to arrange your steps on the white line.. on side lane please. Running in straight line will ensure smooth flow of your body kinetic energy.

10. At times when your running rhythm & posture is broken and you slowing down. Concentrate on lifting your knee higher. and remember what I has said above of "How To Run Efficiently!"

How to run efficiently is not only about winning a running competition but to enable you to enjoy your run. Next time you go for your run, you will able to focus your attention to hot guys or girls running beside you, not on your aching leg and enjoys the surrounding.
