1500m running tips

1500 meters is a difficult event for many people to complete. 1500 meters is a long-distance race, which tests our endurance. To win, you must first have endurance and perseverance, and secondly, you must have certain methods and techniques. How to increase speed and save physical strength is also very important. So for short-distance running we rely on explosive power, but for 1500 meters running which relies on endurance, what other techniques are there?

1. Tips for 1500m running

1. Running posture should be correct

If the running posture is incorrect, people are prone to injury, so you need to correct your wrong running posture before running so that the whole process can proceed smoothly. When running, don't swing your arms too much. Swing your arms rhythmically and naturally, and bounce your arms slightly up and down. While running, lean your body forward, lift your thighs forward, point your toes forward, land softly, and move in a relaxed manner.

2. Breathing pattern

When long-distance running, pay attention to your breathing method and rhythm. Generally, it is better to breathe in every two or three steps, and the rhythm should not fluctuate too much. If you are exhausted, you should adjust your breathing and breathe through your mouth and nose to increase the amount of oxygen you inhale. At the same time, avoid directly inhaling cold air which may irritate your bronchi.

3. Control your abdominal muscles

Moderate tension in the abdominal muscles can help improve speed. When running long distances, you need to control your abdominal muscles and not let your belly sag to reduce resistance and exercise your muscles at the same time. In daily life, you should also increase abdominal muscle training.

2. Training Methods

1. Enhance endurance training

Long-distance running training generally focuses more on endurance training, because improving endurance helps strengthen the respiratory and cardiac systems. In addition, it is also beneficial to improving the body's negative pressure capacity. Generally, the most effective method is to use long-term continuous running with low intensity, such as 1500-meter running training first, then 2000-meter running training, and finally 2500-meter running training. If you are in good physical condition, you can do 5,000-meter running training.

2. Enhance arm strength training

Arm strength training is very beneficial for many people because when you are tired, your arm swing speed will slow down, so your running speed will slow down. If you pay attention to this aspect of training during normal training, you can avoid physical exhaustion and arm weakness on the field. Generally, an effective training method is to stand in place, swing your arms regularly, and persist for 1 hour.

3. Strengthen your foot

If your feet are tired, you will lose the motivation to move forward. When running 1,500 meters, when you are approaching the finish line, your feet will be so tired that you can hardly move. Therefore, you should do training in this area during your daily training, such as doing squat jumps, running up stairs, etc. to improve your foot strength.
