What are some effective ways to boost running economy? I've been focusing on proper form, cadence, and strength training, but I'm not seeing significant improvements. Anyone have experience with drills, plyometrics, or other exercises that can help? Looking for some new ideas to shave off a few seconds per mile.
Incorporating hill sprints and resisted running into your training can help improve your running economy. Focus on explosive power and strength in your legs to increase efficiency.
Hill sprints and resisted running are great suggestions. I've also found that incorporating strides into my runs helps with efficiency. Try adding 4-6 strides after an easy run, focusing on quick turnover and proper form. It's helped me shave off a few seconds per mile.
