There are so many ways through which you can increase your running speed and endurance, but you should be ready to pay the price. Whether you are just starting your career as a runner or not, you will definitely need to give yourself to constant exercise. So, let's look at some of the steps. The first thing you need to do is to start by exercising your body for about five minutes. You can do this by doing simple jogging, and you can also walk around.

This will prepare your body for the task ahead, and you will be able to increase your pace. Second, don't start the race at your highest speed. Try to start the first few minutes of your race with a pace of around 80% of your highest speed. You need this unless you want to get tired very easily. After this, try to run at your highest speed for a period of one to two minutes and push your heartbeat a little bit up. After this, try to reduce your pace for 2 minutes. Finally, try to repeat the process over and over again.

Take a short break, and then do it again. After a couple of weeks, increase the time that you are sprinting to 45 seconds, decrease the walking time to 45 seconds, and repeat. Adding small amounts of weights to your ankles can also help with speed. Running with small amounts of weights will help build muscle and lung function, but when the weights are removed, you might find your speed has increased, due to not having the extra weight to pull you back.

There are also several programs that you can use to increase your running speed. Endurance training is one. By using the endurance training you are not only training your body to go longer distances, but you can also begin to run faster as your body adjusts to the new routine.
Before beginning a workout routine, you should consult with your doctor
