It can be exhausting to be a runner without even running at all. There are so many “running hacks” that people swear will make you run faster and keep you from being injured.

Yoga. Pilates. Strength training. The list goes on. It can be overwhelming what “extras” you should spend your time on.

While injured, I was determined to stock up on all the little things that would make me a well-rounded runner. I wanted to get more flexible and stronger. I wanted to never get injured again. Honestly, I initially wasted my time on a lot of things that may be good for the body but not necessarily good for runners.

I did my research and uncovered the running hacks that are actually worth our time. And it turns out the little things that make a big difference don’t take a lot of time. Even better, a lot of the running hacks are things you need to do to live already like eat, drink, and sleep — -you just need to be a bit more intentional.

Here are the 9 running hacks that will definitely make you run faster.
