Did you know Speed work is very important to enhance your form and efficiency at all pace? In addition, to have greatest speed is you need to train more on your lower body.

Besides, develop core strength also can make someone's speed faster. Core is an anti-mover and such a big stabilizer who will assist a force production. Force has been produced by prime mover and transfered to our core and other body parts.

Last but not least, all you can do to keep improve your speed is practice on arm swing mechanics. This is the easiest way to help you speed up your sprint. As you run, keep your elbows at 90 degrees and bring each hand up in front of your face. Lower your hand as if you're about to put it in your pocket. BUT, don't let yourself hunch forward with slouched shoulders because it will slow you down.
