HOW TO RUN FASTER

PRODUCTS THAT WILL HELP YOUR RUNNING:

Everybody runs for different reasons – whether it be competitively or just for fun. As human beings, it is in our blood to want to be the best we can be. Therefore, learning how to run faster is arguably pretty high on the to do list. The process of learning how to run faster can be long and can take a lot of effort. However, here is how a few products can help you achieve marginal gains from every workout.

HOW TO RUN FASTER: APPLY MUSCLE RUB BEFORE WORKOUTS

When learning how to run faster, people assume that it just takes more sessions on the treadmill. Although this may help, I would argue that using something that gets muscles fired up quickly is more effective.

Most natural muscle rubs contain ingredients such as ginger that act as a warming agent and essentially get your muscles fired up. When your muscles are warm and fired, they will be more explosive and therefore faster.

HOW TO RUN FASTER: USE A VAPOUR BALM

Many of my friends are running the London Marathon this year, and so train several times a week. However, they often complain that they cannot learn how to run faster because their feet are too sore to complete the workout.

Did you know that vapour balm can help with blisters and rubbing feet? By massaging the ointment on your feet, covering them with socks and leaving it over night, you will begin to notice your feet feeling less stiff and fragile after a long run.

Although this may not be an exercise that will help you how to run faster, it is important to realise that proper recovery of muscles is vital when wanting to achieve marginal gains from workouts.

HOW TO RUN FASTER: COOL DOWN PROPERLY AFTER A WORKOUT

It’s essential that your body recovers completely after each workout. Just as you wait for your food to cool down because you don’t want to hurt your tongue, you should completely cool down your body. This is because you don’t want to hurt…  well… your whole body.

A good cool down should include light running and stretching all your muscles. Some athletes may go as far as having an ice baths. For most amateurs, this is not feasible, which is why you could use a cooling body wash . Cooling body washes usually contain ingredients such as peppermint, which act as a cooling and anti-inflammatory agent. As I have said earlier, you are more effectively going to run faster when you body is in its best condition!

So, when learning how to run faster, you now know that a vapour balm, cooling body wash and muscle rub can help you achieve your personal best. We recommend Bullet and Bone’s range of products: they are made with natural ingredients and designed to help athletes achieve their best.
