Sprint Training

Do you want to learn how to run faster?

For years, I’d try and play sports requiring speed.  I was angry and annoyed at not being as fast as my friends and classmates.   I’d trail behind them if we sprinted anywhere.  I couldn’t catch up to balls I should have returned for winners in tennis.    Finally, I decided I wanted to win - that I wanted to run faster.

I’ve written a review of the training program that made the difference for me.  Check it out here.
I remembered some old stretches from my junior high track team.  I remembered something about being towed behind a car to increase stride length - fortunately I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to help me with that, or I might really have hurt myself.

Then, I read about a world class coach who was offering a program on how to run faster.  I used to read about how Marty Liquori, one of his distance runners, used to be faster than many sprinters.  His sprint training program had been part of 142 All-Americans and 12 World records.  You’d better believe he knows all there is to know about getting faster.

Uncle Marty’s program includes an exact recipe, focused on speed training to make you better and faster  You’ll gain an edge from the clear instruction and illustration and an easy to understand format.
If you follow the program, you’ll be injury free, you, your child or your team will be running faster, and your athletic performance will be better.  Don’t you owe it to yourself to explore this program on how to run faster?

Vince Papale - sprint training

You might remember the book and movie “Invincible” about the bartender from Philly who took part in an open tryout for the Eagles, and made it as a special teams player.  He was played by Mark Wahlberg in the movie, but in real life, Vince Papale says that “When I was in junior high [Coach] taught me how to run. He was so far ahead in terms of training and technique. Under his guidance we were champions.

Sprint training for kids

How do you get faster?  It’s now a key question for kids as well as parents.

Two ideas that I’ll discuss further:

Sled sprints -provide resistance the athlete must overcome. For kids, a sled weighing 10-30 pounds would be plenty heavy.

When performing  speed training, it is important to keep the sprints no longer than 6 seconds in length. Athletes are only able to maintain maximum effort for up to 7 seconds. After this window, performance decreases quickly.  By following the program, you can see an increase in speed in just a couple of weeks.
