YouTube Shorts For Running Speed

You’ve heard me talk about the push and swing phase in running but what if I told you there’s a third phase to running faster. The third phase of running, the pull or return phase, combines with the swing phase to drive explosive turnover. Existing training often overlooks the pull phase’s importance affecting running speed and quick starts. Ignoring the pull phase leads to improper speed training damaging your times. So how do we train the pull phase for Speed? A balanced isometric training strategy with resistance bands is the only way to completely overload the pull phase muscles making… read more

Dear Athlete, “Don’t do this exercise… Do this variation… Don’t follow this routine… Follow this (very similar) routine…” Following all this gym-for-sprinters advice on social media can be headache, right?? But what if I told your lack of speed gains had nothing to do with gym routine or doing leg extensions or not… What if it was down to this one overlooked detail every sprinter is making in the gym… And what if you could change this massive detail and start storming down that track faster than ever before…? Would that put a simile on your face…? Perhaps shock your sprinter friends…? Or even… read more

If you’re struggling to run faster, it may be your quads! You see, doing your squats and leg extensions can cause imbalances in your quads. This damages the amount of power your leg releases when running. But doing this under-two-minute remedy, known as single leg squats, every leg day will fix it. Single leg squats, also known as pistol squats, can help you run faster by improving balance, stability and muscle power. They strengthen your quadriceps which makes your stride more powerful in the push phase. Additionally they contribute to injury prevention and a better running economy. But always remember… read more

Isometrics with resistance bands can make any Sprinter faster in days. We receive frequent emails from trainers coaches and athletes wondering how isometric training using resistance bands differs from that with weights. Isometric training with bands provides more pressure on the muscle than weights. Why? It’s due to the Fighting Force when you pull the band which increases as you stretch it further overloading your motor unit patterns. Enhancing muscle strength and speed using isometrics with bands over time makes your fast twitch muscle fibers even faster boosting muscle speed and athletic development. The goal with isometric bandwork is to… read more

Isometrics is the best training form to get faster in Rapid time here’s why. Isometric training involves Contracting muscles against immovable objects or without changing their length. Examples include holding a halfway biceps curl position with the weight or pushing against a wall. It enhances muscle size and strength rapidly. Isometric training engages motor units stimulating less used Fast switch muscle fibers and intensifying contractions leading to Quick muscle development and speed gains. This strategy has been known for accelerating athletes running speeds. Combining resistance band training with isometric approaches further enhances the speed gains an athlete can achieve. So… read more

Many sprinters Focus their training on the first phase not the second leaving huge speed gains on the table. Running is split into two phases, 1) the push phase where your leg pushes off the ground and 2) swing phase where you bend your leg behind you. The common mis-belief in speed training is that only the push phase muscles, like the quads and calves, make you fast, not the swing phase muscles like the hip flexors. This couldn’t be further from the truth. So, essential muscles to a sprinter’s speed are being left underdeveloped. These underdeveloped muscles are why… read more

Front squats make you run faster as they strengthen the quads and core more than back squats. But why does this make you run faster? Both front squats and back squats can contribute to improving running speed but the impact depends on factors like individual biomechanics and program design. Front squats focus on quadriceps and core engagement in the push phase enhancing explosive power and stability when running allowing for faster speeds. Back squats involve more hamstrings and glutes in the swing phase. So you should include both squat variations into your speed training for more speed gains faster. #speedtraining… read more

Do you want to run a faster 100 meter? Then do sled pushes. Studies have shown athletes with improved acceleration in the first 20 meters after doing sled pushes twice a week for eight weeks. This is due to the similarity and posture between a Sprint start and a sled push but the question on everyone’s mind is do heavy or light sled pushes make you faster? Studies also showed that heavier sled pushes improve 15 meter sprint times. So if you want a more explosive start to your 100 meter include heavy sled pushes into your training twice a… read more

Jump squats have been scientifically proven to improve 50 meter sprint times but, what’s the best routine to get there quickest? According to multiple studies, adding 20 of your body weight to jump squats saw the most speed gains in athletes. But what about reps and sets? Alternating between eight sets of four reps and four sets of eight reps every four weeks saw faster times on the track! So will you follow this jump squat routine to run faster and win more races? #sprinting #running #athletics #trackandfield #m #sprint #run #athlete #sprinter #tracknation #usainbolt #hurdles #hari #training #fitness #speed… read more

Three reasons isometrics are ideal for speed training. Reason #1 time efficiency research reveals that just 10 minutes of isometric training triggers fast twitch muscle development going Beyond this risks shifting to slow twitch fibers which is bad for Speed gains Reason #2 repetitions. Conventional methods emphasize repetitions building endurance and strength whereas isometric training defies this Norm by engaging fast twitch fibers through unique positions, eliminating confusion between endurance and speed conditioning. Reason #3 resistance bands. These are the key to speed training. When harnessing their Superior acceleration energy their Precision targeting of specific muscles aligned with athletic motions… read more

How many running form videos do you see a day? 2? 5? 10? Well what if the key to fixing your form to run faster is much simpler? Because it is! Weak hip flexors cause 1) reduced knee Drive, 2) Limited hip extension, 3) imbalance stride, 4) overcompensation, 5) inefficient energy expenditure and 6) poor posture. Weak hip flexors destroy your running form and speed. So you can either keep doing those speed drills and hope to get faster or you can train your hip flexors and get faster with improved form. #runningform #running #run #runningmotivation #runner #trackandfield #runningcoach #runnersofinstagram… read more

Why do you want to run faster? My lack of speed stopped me from achieving big things in sports at College. Back then I desired to become an athlete but I didn’t have the speed to make it big. So I developed a revolutionary speed strategy and after 25 plus years it’s helped over 200 000 athletes run faster and reach their dreams! So what’s pushing you to run faster Let me know down below. runningform #running #run #runningmotivation #runner #trackandfield #runningcoach #runnersofinstagram #runners #fitness #halfmarathon #runningshoes #runnersworld #runnerslife #runningtechnique #runninggoals #naturalrunning #runhappy #physicaltherapy #triathlon #longrun #runforfun #ktraining #runningdrills #marathon… read more

Flexibility is vital for sprinting performance. It enables proper stride mechanics, range of motion and injury prevention. Flexible hip flexors, hamstrings and calf muscles ensure efficient leg extension enhancing speed and reducing the risk of strains. It’s essential to run faster and win more races but how do you increase leg flexibility? Include dynamic stretches before workouts and static stretches after training. Consider practices like yoga and pilates. Consistency is crucial. Gradually increase the stretch depth and duration. #runfaster #running #run #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #runner #runhappy #instarunners #instarun #trackandfield #fitness #runnerscommunity #runningcommunity #runners #runfast #tracknation #training #marathontraining #runrunrun #runningcoach #trailrunning #runnerslife… read more

Are you hitting the gym and field hard but can’t see the speed gains? That’s because you’ve left 50 of your leg muscles untrained. Why? Because gym routines and exercises focus on the push phase of running, pushing off the ground for Speed and so we leave our hip flexors untrained. Our hip flexors link your upper and lower body affecting stride and leg speed. So weak hip flexors mean untapped speed regardless of how strong your quads are. But that means every athlete has untapped speed through our hip flexors. So the takeaway… switch up your training routine to… read more

How long do you train for Speed in the gym? 90 minutes? 2 hours? If so, then you are training for too long! Speed training in the gym should only last 15 to 60 Minutes including warm-ups, main exercises and cool Downs. Of course the duration depends on Fitness level, goals and exercise intensity but keep sessions short to maintain effectiveness and avoid over training or injury.
