Optimize Your Running with 9 Efficiency Hacks
Experts provide tips to improve running performance by focusing on biomechanical and metabolic factors.
A runner's body can be compared to a race car, requiring an aerodynamic body and a well-functioning engine. According to Kate Baird, C.S.C.S., an exercise physiologist, being an efficient athlete involves focusing on stride rate, running form, and footwear.
Metabolic factors, such as aerobic capacity, lactate threshold, and energy sources, are also crucial.
It needs an aerodynamic body, but it also needs a well-humming engine, says Baird.
By improving these factors, runners can achieve smarter and faster running.
