Reply With QuoteWell, run, for one. A strength/power/endurance based weightlifting program is also very beneficial. You don't want muscle growth though.

You could also get a trainer or go to a sports club for athletics.

You can try same. Try to walk when going to office. That may help.

I made a quatum leap improvement of my running speed without ever running. I can't completely isolate what did it, but I am sure it was a combination of these things:
Deadlift
Squat
Leg Curls
Seated Calve Raises
Standign Calve Raises“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

I read an article by kelly bagget about speed/jump. He said you have to have strength/power/and quick reaction to be a good runner,
so How much do you squat/dead? if you squat/deadlift a good amount, work on plyos/sprinting
if you don't have a good squat/D'ling- start squatting and D'ling
I will see if I can find the article (I posted it on this site)

I have the EXACT same goal, Im probably a little older but summer '08 I plan on trying (got some classes I need to take over this summer
) anyway I know squats, lunges, and just strengthining your legs are the #1 thing, I work my legs 2X a week now. Running is also good but run sprints so u dont loose weight. I am going to throw jumproping in my workout routine, when is good time for that?

Be more specific. Repetitions, sets, intensity, etc. That is, if there is some kind of organization to it. Originally Posted by michael_s1988
