I've started doing athletics at my school, and I am quite quick over 100, 200 and 400 metres.
But I've got a bad running style (apprently) and l wanna know what is a good style to run in, so l can improve on my times.

Make sure to run on the tips of your toes, not to the point where you fall but just enough, try lifting your legs a bit more too, & then just sprint!

run like hell

Sprint Technique Warm up drills

There is no doubt that time spent on warming up & cooling down will improve an athlete is level of performance & accelerate the recovery process needed before training or competing again. An element of the warm up program should include event specific drills to stimulate the appropriate neuromuscular action for the range of movement & correct posture.

Drills should be conducted wearing trainers & not spikes. In all the drills, the coach/athlete should ensure a tall & relaxed posture with a correct range of movement of the arms. Check for

* Eyes focused at the end of the lane - tunnel vision
* Head in line with the spine - held high & square
* Face relaxed - jelly jaw - no tension - mouth relaxed
* Chin down, not out
* Shoulders held down (long neck), back (not hunched), relaxed & square in the lane at all times
* Smooth forward backward action of the arms- not across the body - drive back with elbows - brush vest with elbows - hands move from shoulder height to hips for men & from bust height to hips for the ladies
* Elbows held at 90 degrees at all times (angle between upper arm & lower arm)
* Hands relaxed - fingers loosely curled - thumb uppermost
