Your body needs to experience speed so run as fast as you can on a slight decline (hill). Run on the balls of your feet and keep your recovery leg short. Drive your arms chin high.

What are some good softball drills to increase my base running speed?

Do running drills in general. The more running you do, the faster you will become. Also running stairs or hills will help you increase your speed. I was able to get from home to first in 2.65 seconds, and I did a lot of running drills with my teams. Do liners, shuffles, shuttle runs, and squats to increase your leg strength. Also make sure that you are hitting the inside corner of the bag with you left foot as you are running to shave off some time. Also practice so that you are not taking shuffle steps before you get to the base, this slows you down big-time. (My home-to-home time was 11.14 - these methods do work).


Can friction can increase speed?

Sure. When I am running, I need to have good friction between my running shoes and the ground that I am running on, in order to be able to run quickly. A car needs a good level of friction between the tires and the road to drive at a high speed. Otherwise the wheels just spin but the car doesn't move (this can happen when you are stuck in the ice).


I need some good running tips.?

Wearing the right shoes can definitely help your speed, but ultimately, the only way to get faster is with practice.

What are some softball drills to increase running speed?

Base running is an essential part in softball. It can be an easy advance in base for teams with fast baserunners which can eventually be a run converted. Before drills can be done make sure your running mechanics are correct. Simple change in mechanics can increase your running speed. Proper arm swing, surface contact and stride length adjustment may help. Make sure also that you are taught the proper way to run around the bases and know the ready position on base prior to the pitch. Rounding the bases of having to increase the running curve before the base will help the runners not to decelerate when running. Check out the link for more tips


Does age affect your running speed?

Yes, advancing years will increase potential running speed for very young runners. Once they reach maturity, potential will plateau according to training levels. Age will again effect running speed later in life. This will effect different people at different ages depending on their fitness levels, their training and their own physical make-up. Once middle age is reached, running speed will usually decrease by about 1% per year.
