Hi, welcome to howtorunfaster.org

I am Dominic West. I created this blog as I wanted to share with you what I had learned over the years on how to run faster. It took me ages to figure this entire thing about how to run faster and it had helped numerous individuals to improve their sprint time.

Before I learned how to run faster, I’m just darned slow. It was wanting to overcome this personal hurdle of mine that I decided to learn how to run faster in order to excel in any sports that require speed. This motive initially was not for the love of sport but rather to win a bet with my friends. It took some time to improve my sprint time but in the end I did win the bet. Call it a macho thing or childish thing but you have to admit that when you were at my age, you got more testosterone than sense.

Anyway back to the subject of learning how to run faster. Nowadays, I just watch runners getting first place or beating their personal best as I did before. This is just sound logical advice from someone who had experienced in being a track runner. Nevertheless, I still see countless runners flying of the blocks with a 10 meter lead and then falling back at the half way mark around the track. I figure that the reason for all this is because they just don’t know how to run faster once the starter gun blasted off.

You can see the runners feet get ahead of them and they just lose steam unable to accelerate anymore. And for God knows why, they start arching back looking at the sky as if looking to the heaven for guidance! The fact is that a lot of runners are just too tense when they are running. They let their aggression take control of their mind and body thinking that they can overpower the others runners. Agility, swiftness and perseverance win the race at the end of the day. Barbaric plodding only help you see the back of your opponents!

Sound simple right? Of course, it’s just common sense! When you are all tensed up, you stiffen the muscles. First of all, a stiff muscle tires easily and quickly. Second of all, you can’t move as fast as compared to another person who is relaxed. In short, Stiff means SLOW. So RELAX the upper body. This is just one of the ways on how to run faster.

Running is one of the greatest sports around and it has been for centuries. None of us are born to be superman. With practice, proper techniques, we all can learn how to run faster than our usual self. The key toward learning how to run faster is never to doubt yourself. You have to keep pushing and trying and you will find that in end that you will discover to how run faster naturally.

Joel October 6, 2009 at 8:55 pm: Hi Dominic,

Thanks for the article.

I’ve served the army before and I totally agree with you that it’s possible to run faster with training. In fact, with training, not only can you run faster but longer as well.

Back in army, I did lots of intensive training and I just kept going faster as the days go by. It was hard work but the results pay off by itself.

I’ve signed up for your report and looking forward to hearing more tips from you. Once again, thank you.

Joel
bobwehadababyitsaboy October 8, 2009 at 8:51 am: i train to run faster by learning how and when to change your breathing pattern and also wearing a rucksack with 30 pounds i plan on adding another 5 in a week is running with extra weight going to help me run faster when im not wearing it or is it just going to damage my body? we do it alot in the army and have noticed a small increase in speed and muscle growth but is there a better or faster way of doing this?
Dave October 18, 2009 at 8:27 pm: The thing is I was born with speed, never got tired running once, (mabey a few times) but still I took your advice either way, and now I’m the fastest kid in my school.thanks man
Kory Kobs November 9, 2009 at 9:12 am: Hey, thanks alot man! This year in football my new found speed has allowed me to lead the team in interceptions. This makes me feel popular and cool at my school! Thanks a ton!
Graham Busby November 10, 2009 at 8:52 am: Wow man! Thanks so much for these great tips. I moved to a new school this year and this has helped me be a leader on the JV squad. I dominate all the freshman and sophomores I play against! Thanks so much.
Zach Peak November 12, 2009 at 8:41 am: Before I took your advice I got limited carries on the j.v. squad at my class A high school. Now, as a junior, i am the second leading rusher on j.v. thanks bro, without you i’d still be riding the bench.
Anthony DiFabio November 12, 2009 at 9:03 am: Before reading this article I could not show my knees in public. I wore my cords on the reg. Now I have the confidence to play Ultimate Frisbee with my students, and rock out at my concerts in my cut off jorts. Thanks Dominic, you’re the best.
Jeff Smith November 12, 2009 at 9:04 am: At first I didn’t think I needed any help, I thought i was the best and there was no way I could get faster, turns out I was right.

It all started when I was in middle school, confidence was everything in those days, especially with the ladies. I still prefer 6-8th graders to this day.

I guess what i’m trying to say is, I don’t need you help with running I would just like your advice on how to step up my game and date someone my age. I f you feel comfortable give me a call, id love to talk.

TJ Holland November 12, 2009 at 9:07 am: Thanks so much for the tips. I am still not particularly fast, but I don’t expect to be because I am super lanky. This helps me in basketball because with next to zero speed I was big bodied quite a bit. I am now the seventh man off the bench on my high school squad. I feel like I can be a real asset to the team now as a leader of the scout team. Thank for making me and my team better.
Mac McDaniel December 2, 2009 at 8:39 am: Hey Dominic! For most of my life I have played goalie in soccer and participated in gymnastics. This caused many of the “jocks” to pick on me and call me all sorts of names. I decided that I had enough! I took your advice and with my new found confidence, a direct result of my new speed, I went out for the volleyball team. I was the fastest guy on the team and became all district! After that I went out for wrestling and won my first match! Things are really starting to look up now! Thanks Nic, you’re the best!
George December 4, 2009 at 4:13 pm: Omgh, im going to try this
zenor January 21, 2010 at 5:19 pm: i am going to try this i am going to sign up for track hope i make it wish me luck
Erick "Sticky" Heng January 25, 2010 at 8:40 am: Hi, Dominic! For most of my high school football career I was limited to my ability to catch balls, hence the nickname. Well once I found my new EXPLOSIVE speed I was Randy Moss-esque. I was able to burn the corners without fail. Once I was past the first level of defenders I was off the races. Thanks for everything man, you’re the greatest.
josue January 27, 2010 at 11:40 pm: hey Dominic, i am a high jumper on my high school track team. i am also pretty fast, but for some reason i just cant run short distance events anymore like the 200 meters. should i build my stamina by doing more running or should i just stick to jumping?
