How to improve strength on the run? I would like to run faster and feel less exhausted after training. I’ve tried to achieve that by weight lifting but it didn’t work. I ended up with inflated arms and broad shoulders, while my strength during running couldn’t be improved. Any suggestions? I don’t want to take steroids and similar supplements. Thanks in advance.

There are various exercises that can help you run faster and be less exhausted. But, first things first. Namely, in order to improve your lung capacity you’ll have to learn a proper breathing pattern and somehow make it automatic. Breathing is one of the most important factors of fast running and lungs are as important for running as legs. Start with the deep breathing exercise and breathe in through your nose while counting to ten. Then hold your breath while you count to five and breathe out while counting to ten. The muscles responsible for fast running are calves and hamstrings mainly and what you should do is make them stronger. One of the exercises for this purpose is squat, especially one-leg squat.

I would think that you need to do hill runs for running strength. Also incorporate speed work. You need a track routine.

For what distances are you training?
