It will help boost speed if the athlete trying to run faster workouts regularly ,not only focusing on the lower body but also the upper body.

Here are a couple of workout schedules for the arms, legs and abdominal.

While undergoing this project of mine, I ran through some difficulties. It has hard for me to wake up in the morning to work out. Sometimes after school I have extracurricular activities so working out after practice would make me very tired. I learned to be more responsible while doing this project because I had to attend after school activities, sometimes workout and still manage to do all my homework. The positive side to this project is that I can give others tips on how to run faster and also help myself become a better athlete.
