Ever wonder how to increase your sprint, or even
middle-distance speed?
Try running on gentle downhill slopes (very gentle) to get the
feeling of
top speed without the stress of full effort.
This will help
with the
feeling of full-speed running (as it allows more work with less
effort due
to the gentle downhill slope) and will help speed come more
naturally to you on
the track. Good luck!
