A person's speed is determined not only by their genetics, so if you set a goal to improve this indicator, go for it: it is quite possible to do so.

Researchers from the University of Tennessee in the US believe that to achieve this, you need not only to run regularly, but also to do functional strength training using medium weights or your own body weight.

Great examples of these exercises include pull-ups, lunges, planks, and jumping squats.

These exercises strengthen the muscles that play an important role during running.

But that's not all: if you want to increase your speed, listen to the following tips.
