Want to know how to run faster and finally see real results? This guide breaks down the system behind speed, explaining why strength alone isn’t enough and how improving strength balance, timing, and coordination across your entire body leads to faster, more efficient running.
Learn which running muscles actually control speed. Discover how training hip flexors, glutes, hams, quads and calves can unlock faster sprinting performance.
Spine rotators don’t create speed—they connect your system. Learn how rotation transfers force and improves coordination for faster running.
Shoulder extensors complete the arm cycle in running. Learn how backward arm movement supports balance, coordination, and speed performance.
Most athletes train hard but don’t get faster. This article explains the science behind speed training, including muscle contraction, fast twitch fibers, and why traditional methods often fail to improve speed.
Discover how running mechanics really work using a simple rotation system. Learn how swing patterns, hip flexors, and timing impact your speed and performance.
Many athletes believe getting bigger will make them faster—but that’s not always true. Learn how hypertrophy affects muscle function, contraction speed, and why size alone doesn’t translate into real performance.
Not getting faster even though you train hard? Learn what most speed programs miss—and what actually helps you improve.
Force is one of the most misunderstood aspects of running. Many athletes think strength alone creates speed, but force depends on how your system applies and transfers energy. Learn what actually creates force in running and how to improve it.
Many runners believe increasing stride rate will make them faster. But stride rate is not the cause of speed—it’s the result of how your system applies force. Learn why forcing faster turnover can slow you down and what actually improves stride rate.
Overstriding is one of the most common running issues, but it’s often misunderstood. Many athletes try to shorten their stride, but overstriding is not the cause—it’s the result of a system that can’t keep up. Learn what actually causes overstriding and how to fix it the right way.
Ground contact time is often misunderstood. Many athletes try to move their feet faster, but speed isn’t created by quick feet—it’s created by how your system applies force. Learn what actually controls ground contact time and how to improve it the right way.
Foot strike is one of the most misunderstood aspects of running. Many athletes try to fix how their foot lands, but speed is not created at the foot—it’s the result of how your entire system applies force. Learn what actually controls foot strike and how to improve your speed the right way.
Ground mechanics are not just about your foot strike. They are about how your entire body applies force into the ground. Learn why the push leg, swing leg, arms, timing, and strength balance all influence how efficiently you run—and why fixing the foot is often treating the symptom instead of the cause.
Introduction If you’ve been training hard… 👉 but your speed hasn’t improved the way you expected— you’re not alone. Many athletes do all the “right” things: sprint more lift harder push longer And those can help. But sometimes… 💥 they don’t fully translate into speed. Because speed is often more than effort. 👉 it may […]

Story: I’ve have been wanting to become a running back for my football team and had trouble increasing my speed. I did many strength exercises like leg presses, leg extensions, and leg curls. I did get results in muscle size, but not that increase of speed.
So, I went to youtube and watched the Speed Challenge video and did the thigh flexor exercise and I found quick results in my 40 yard dash! This increase in speed in so little time amazed me!”

Story: i ran a 4.6 forty yard dash as a junior in highschool. now after two years in college..i’m running a high 4.8 so i am looking to get back to my former speed so that i can possibly walk on a football team. after two weeks i am seeing my time drop and now i think i can get it all the way back down to maybe a 4.5. thanks for offering the Run Faster Program..i think it is really going to work for me.

I have started to use your Speed Training,from June 1 to June 15, which has drastically dropped my 40 yard dash time from a 4.56 to a “MOVING” 4.41. I thank you, and you have blessed me and prepared me better for the next level.”

Story: I was really doubtful that this program would work, but when I finally tried it, it felt great. I feel so much faster. I’ve gone from an 11.9 to an 11.5 and can’t wait to get the whole package and see how much faster I get.

Story: The Run Faster program is incredible! After just 14 days i have seen huge results as i feel more athletic, explosive and quick as i play soccer.
This increase in speed allows me to make goal scoring situations a lot more frequently.
It has helped my game hugely and i strongly recommend the program to any soccer player!

Story: I wasn’t that fast, i mean i was fast but not that fast. so we ran 40’s at school and i got a 5.43, so i wasn’t satisfied, i saw yalls program, i ordered the RUN FASTER program and i did it.
I felt light right after the first workout, i did it the full 2 weeks, and my 40 dropped!! i was so happy. I’m still using it and i know hopefully I’ll be in the 4.8’s soon.
Thanks Dr. Van Such, this was amazing!!
