-
Always
prepare for each speed training session with
a thorough, active warm-up.
-
Resistance training
develops specific strength and improves
acceleration.
-
Hip mobility is a key aspect of improving
stride length and the ability to move
laterally. This is best achieved through
dynamic activities like hurdle walks.
-
Starting is extending ankle/knee/hip. This
triple extension is highly related to work
done in the weight room.
-
Stopping is bending ankle/knee/hip.
-
6-8 reps is the optimum number for speed
development work.
-
Vary speed training methods and intensity to
avoid building a speed barrier.
