"One key principle of speed technique training is you can't train the body to move faster by training slow. It's simple; muscles adapt. Long, slow running trains the body to run slow and this practices very poor speed technique over--and-over. One more time, slow running teaches your body to be slow! Our technique training methods use overspeed training with perfect technique to re-program the brain, nervous system, and the body to move faster than ever before. Athletes and parents attending the two-session one-on-one training, or small group training at their location will learn perfect speed technique and how to train for speed, fast-fiber strength and flexibility when they return home."

Question; How important is the movement of the arms in speed training?

Arm action in speed is critically important in covering ground fast, stopping and changing direction. Arm action determines stride length and the goal of speed technique training is to get an athlete to the destination with sold body mechanics and taking the least amount of steps. Increasing stride length by reaching for steps is counterproductive. If the arms are too close to the chest on the upswing and hands travel "pocket-to-chest," athletes will take short choppy strides and this is very slow. This is perfect for cutting and slowing down, but horrible for burst speed.

One of the most important questions I ask every athlete, even the pros I work with; "do you remember the day you first learned how to run?" Continue click here
