watch running very fast image
Kobe
I was watching the Olympics and the people made funny faces when running, especially when views in slow-mo. I also remember there being a track and field event at my school and the kids running fast made these hilarious faces.
Answer
it feels natural. When running if you try to keep a straight face it doesn't feel natural, therefore being a distraction and causing you to lose focus

What can a person do to help himself run faster?

My 7 yr old brother likes to play football at recess, but the kids don't like to pass the ball to him as he doesnt run very fast. He thinks he runs fast but when compared to the other boys, they run a lot faster. He is skinny and about 50lbs and about and at least 3.5 feet.
Answer
There is no quick way to faster running, and there are two kinds of speed. Since your brother is playing football, chances are he's going to need short distance speed, but with good endurance. As far as technique is concerned, he should focus on running in a very linear fashion: his arms should be relaxed and making completely forward motion. Watch him while he does this: his hands should not cross in front of his body. For a sprint, running on the balls of one's feet causes them to lean and, as a result, run faster. As far as training goes, I suggest starting at about one to two miles daily with about four strides (periods of fast running, but not sprinting) of about twenty seconds (start doing strides after the simple one to two mile regimen is established). Once he has a mileage base, he should do one run in which he warms up for about five minutes, and then does about 200 meter sprints, or intervals (that's half a lap around a track, if one's accessible, although I have seen 200m tracks) about two times. After that, he should start building in quantity of the intervals, and maybe dappling in 400s. Every workout should be preceded and followed by lots of water. Keep in mind that this is VERY time-intensive: this is a several month process, and he should NOT jump into hard training. This will result in severe injury. He should raise his training level based on how he feels, and no small pain should be disregarded (not a muscle ache such as a soreness, but a genuine pain). This is especially important due to his young age. In addition, if he is going to do serious training, he should start off with good cross-training shoes and running shorts, although any pair of athletic shorts will do in a pinch. If he continues to train, then you should look into actual running trainers. Do NOT buy these online; go to a store that specializes in running. Once again, I must stress the importance of taking this process one step at a time.
