Hey friend !!

Here is your answer..

Adrenaline is a hormone secreted by Adrenal Glands.

It increases the supply of glucose and oxygen to muscles and brain.

Also it acts on muscles allowing them to contract more than they contract in normal conditions and thus increases the power of muscles.

Hence it helps an athlete for running.

heya!!!
first what is adrenaline?

Adrenaline is a survival hormone.  It helps us be fast or strong under threat.  When humans encounter danger, we have two options: fight off the predator, or run for the hills. Each of these responses requires muscle strength.  When our amygdalasenses danger, it reaches out to the hypothalamus,  Adrenaline then triggers the physiological changes our body will need to attack, defend, or run away.  Even before we react, or choose a course of action, our heart is already rushing oxygenated blood to our muscles, so we’ll be ready.

ur answer..
At the start of a sprint, as runners hear, “On your mark!  Get set!”, they crouch, ready to run.  Their hearts race. Their muscles twitch. Adrenaline is coursing through their blood, ensuring that when they hear the command “Go!” they are prepared to race for their lives (or at least a medal). Adrenaline powers our performance whether the external stressor is unexpected (a pouncing tiger), sought-after (hang-gliding) or self-imposed (athletic competitions or haunted houses).
