Many athletes feel like there is another gear available—but somehow the body never fully allows it. This article explains how sprint-system balance, timing between steps, uninterrupted force flow, and self-regulation may determine how much aggressive speed expression the body is willing to support continuously.
Most athletes hear the word “coordination” in running and sprinting—but what exactly is coordinating? This article explores how timing between steps, swing-leg support, force flow through the stride, and sprint-system balance may create the smoother, faster sprinting athletes often describe as “better coordination.”
Running speed is not just about pushing harder. Athletic Quickness explains how the push leg, swing leg, arms, and torso work together simultaneously to create faster, smoother, and more powerful sprinting.
Running speed is not just about how hard the pushing leg works. Athletic Quickness explains how the swing leg, arms, and torso help amplify usable push through the pushing leg.
Avoid the most common speed training mistakes that slow you down and learn how to keep your training sharp, efficient, and effective.
Learn how to progress your speed training without slowing down by focusing on quality, freshness, and improving how your system responds—not doing more.
Better running form isn’t something you force. Here’s why your form improves naturally when your speed system becomes stronger and more balanced.
Speed training should feel different when it’s working. Here’s how to recognize lighter strides, faster steps, smoother movement, and real progress.
You’re working hard but still not getting faster. Here’s how to train the muscles that actually control your speed—and what most athletes overlook.
You’re training hard but still feel stuck. Here’s what actually determines how fast you can run—and why most athletes miss it.
You’re getting stronger but still feel stuck at the same speed. Here’s why your body controls your “gear” and what’s actually limiting your running speed.
You’re getting stronger and doing everything right—but your speed isn’t improving. Here’s why strength alone doesn’t transfer to speed and what you’ve been missing.
Learn which running muscles actually control speed. Discover how training hip flexors, glutes, hams, quads and calves can unlock faster sprinting performance.
What if speed depends not just on how much force you produce, but on what peaks together? Discover how timing relationships and interdependent force contributors may play a critical role in running faster.
Hip flexor muscles are one of the most overlooked factors in running speed—and often the true limiting factor. This article explains how they control stride rate and why increasing speed depends on raising strength balance across the entire system, not just pushing harder.
Does smooth running mean better mechanics? Discover why smoothness may be more than style—and what it may reveal about speed.
Do quick feet drills really improve speed? Discover why fast feet may be more effect than cause and what may matter more for running faster.
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.
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.
What if speed depends less on isolated parts and more on how your whole system organizes force, timing, and balance? Start with the big picture here.
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.

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!!
