3 Reasons This Program Will work for you:
- 1You'll train muscles for speed... that you didn't even know you had.
- 2You'll train muscles for speed... with a strategy you would never even think of using.
- 3You'll train muscles for speed... with a type of resistance you would never imagine could work so well.
-----Learn more, below-----
1. Each time you train, you could be leaving out more than 50% of the muscles needed for speed and, that's not good. The Run Faster program can fix that.
Your glutes, hams, quads and calves are getting all the attention but, what about the rest of your muscles?
- The current and most popular exercises for speed training are: squats, deadlifts, Olympic power cleans, Olympic clean pulls, leg presses, jumping exercises and running exercises such as sled pulls, running with parachute, shuttle runs, etc. What do all of these exercises have in common? They all target one or more of the following: 1) glutes, 2) hams, 3) quads and 4) calf muscles.
- There's nothing wrong with this and you are encouraged to keep training these muscles. The problem is many limit their speed training to just these 4 muscle groups. As a result, they will eventually feel like they are stuck in first gear and hit a plateau way too soon no matter how much they train. This is because running is more than just pushing off the ground.
- If you want to run faster, become more dynamic when you do and gain a significant advantage against your competitors, then It's time for you to look for other muscles to add in and, complement your existing speed workout. This is where the Run Faster program can take your game to new levels.
- In addition to the glutes, hams, quads and calves, our Run Faster program is going to really challenge you to train your hip flexors, which is the longest muscle group in the body, and one of the strongest. These muscles help with your stride rate and top-end speed. How much attention do they get? Is it comparable to the glutes, hams, quads, calves? Probably not.
- How about your lateral mobility and change of direction speed? That's important, right? Guess which muscles dominate these actions? Your internal and external hip rotators. Ever train those? Again, probably not.
- So, when we say you'll be training muscles you didn't even know you had, or, didn't know how important they were to running, this should give you some idea of how we can help you.
2. Why use resistance bands for speed?
Two reasons. First, there aren't any machines for some of the muscles we're about to target.
Just about any gym you walk in to you'll have an abundance of opportunities to strengthen your glutes, hams, quads and calves either by using dedicated machines and/or by using free weights. Think about it, your average gym will have machines like the leg press, hack squat, leg extension and leg curl. It'll also have one or more squat racks.
All of these will help you push harder off the ground and again, are highly recommended. But, to get after all 7 of your hip flexors (for your top end speed) or your internal and external hip rotators (for your change of direction quickness) you'll have to get creative because there simply isn't a machine out their to help.
This is where resistance bands come in because you are able to get after all of these muscles and more and the Run Faster program will guide you through it each step of the way.
The second reason is just as important.

“
I ran for Ohio State track and set the school record in the 100m at 10.10 seconds with the help of the Run Faster program. I also was able to compete in the Olympic games in 2021, Tokyo and represented Trinidad in the 4x100m.
[Eric Harrison. Olympian]
“
"I set a new PR in my 100m event (13.99), a full second faster than the meet 2 months earlier, and 0.5 faster than my old PR set in 2015. In the same meet. I bettered my earlier time in the 200m by 0.26 second and in the 50m improved my time by 0.31 sec.

“I first discovered one of many AthleticQuickness.com’s speed training exercises when I was in High School. I used the simple workout from the program that literally took me from a 4.6 second 40 yard dash to a 4.5 within one week!!
[Shawn Jackson, 1,000 yard Rusher.]

“I felt like Usain Bolt the whole season. I was untouchable. I was dominating the competition by half a second in the 100 meter dash at the State meet. And in the 200. Catching guys from WAY back in the 4×100 relay.”
