Speed Training Secrets

On Tuesday April 20, We released an new version of the Run Faster Speed Training Program. The first thing you will notice is the new cover. Inside we have added 5 additional exercises. Two of these new exercises target the hip flexor muscles and the quadriceps. 1 additonal exercise for the hip extensors and 1 additional exercise for the hip adductors and the hip abductors.

This is a huge improvement over the very popular original Run Faster Program. These new exercises will give your sprinting muscles a real good workout for developing speed beyond what was experienced in the previous Run Faster program, which had proven to be very effective at increasing speed.

This also means we will be coming out shortly with a new Afterburner Video. The original Afterburner exercises are for the most part included in the new version.

Also coming out in the next 2 weeks will be the Run Faster Speed Training CD. The CD is a companion to the new Run Faster Speed Training manual. The CD will have videos showing exactly how to perform each exercise plus some additional resource material.

If you purchased the Run Faster Program in the past you will be able to get the Run Faster CD with all of the new exercises. Watch for more info about that coming soon.

In order to improve your running speed, it would be very helpful to understand the ‘Running Process’ and the muscles involved in each phase of the running process.

With the introduction of Speed Training Lessons – The Running Process, I have broken down the running process into 3 phases.

The Running Process consists of these three major phases:

1. The Push Phase
2. The Swing Phase
3. The Return or Pull Phase

Each phase of the running process uses a distinct set of muscles to propel the body forward. By focusing on each phase individually, you will learn which muscles are involved in sprinting and how to properly train them to gain the maximum speed possible from each set of muscles.

You will also see that muscles work as a group; in other words, a single muscle rarely does its job in isolation. This is important to understand in order to condition them in a similar manner as to how they are used when you are performing an athletic skill (and not as individual isolated muscles).

Since each phase is characterized by the specific muscles involved in that phase, it is more easily determined which muscles play a major role in sprinting and which muscles are not so important. By focusing your speed training on the primary muscles groups involved in sprinting you will more likely see significant increases in your sprint speed.

Those who have used an AthleticQuickness.com speed training program will sometimes tell us about their experience and the results they have seen. They offer their statements without us asking them for it, and they often give us permission to share their story.

Those who have participated in the speed training challenge are encouraged to record their beginning times and their times after using the program for two weeks; and then share those results with us and tell us about their experience, both by writing a short statement and also by sending us either an audio or video recording. If they do this they are eligible to receive a complimentary speed training program so they can do all of the exercises in the program. Some of the results others have submitted can be found on this AthleticQuickness reviews page and also on this page of additional reviews.

The exercises illustrated in the training programs are what we believe are the most effective positions and angles to train the respective muscle groups. Certainly, you may train the muscle groups at other positions and angles that you feel may be beneficial. The best mindset to have when performing these and other exercises is to look for positions where your muscles are the weakest during a particular exercise and work towards increasing your strength in these positions. This will greatly help with your coordination and speed.

The best way to know if you are effectively training a muscle is if the muscle(s) begin to shake after a few seconds when holding it in the final position. This is a sign of muscle weakness and lack of coordination with these muscle groups. It is also a sign that there should be a huge upside to improving your speed and quickness as a result of doing this training exercise.
