Running techniques – Few techniques for running

Running techniques play a very important role. It becomes complicated for the runner to achieve his/her goals when they are not aware of the running techniques.

Running Techniques
The top 6 running techniques are mentioned below.

1. Motion
   It is very important that you remember the motion of your running during your run. When you are aware of motion then it becomes easier for the runners to know which section to improve. You need to be aware of both the lower and the upper motion.
2. Lower motion of the body
   Running constitutes a sequence of strides which can be alternated depending on the leg’s stride. The three factors that is the drive, support and recovery are being divided by the leg’s stride. Drive and support occur only when the foot is on the ground whereas recovery occurs only if the foot is off the ground. While running one of the feet shall be in recovery state as the other foot shall be through the support and the drive state.
3. Upper motion
   In case of optimal running upper body motions become essential in maintaining balance while running. Sometimes they shall compensate for the lower body motions. While running most of the times drive of the arms shall be matched by the recovery of legs.

   The upper physique gradually decreases when there is increase in the distance. You need to spend lot of calories as the distance increases. Most of the times lean muscles are found with those runners who run for a longer distance.

4. Forward lean and upright posture
   The center of mass of your body is placed at the foot’s front part when you lean in forward direction. Leaning forward shall help you when you go for sprints while you run. It is very important for the runners to maintain an upright posture. An upright posture shall help runners to relax their muscles by avoiding cramps in the muscles.
5. Speed limits
   The maximum speed at which a human can run is the sprint speed or the foot speed. Don’t ever make a trial to run beyond your speed limits. If you run beyond your speed limits then there are huge chances for you to face breathing problems.
6. Type of events
   It is important that you know the event type before your marathon. Because there are many factors that you need to concentrate on before going for a marathon event. Based on the type of event you need to set your speed limits. Event types could be a road running, track running, cross country running, distance running etc.
