Keys to increasing SPEED!There is a ton of misconceptions about developing maximal speed. Here are some Facts and Fictions about speed 🏃💨 Perform towing/resisted exercises to re-enforce proper force direction application. 🏃💨 Work Velocity emphasis exercises. Research has shown adaptations are velocity specific. Train fast to be fast holds true. 🏃💨 Develop a strength base. When you're relatively weak, you can't produce force. Speed is a result of force application. 🏃💨 Develop stiffness, especially at the ankle joint. Many athlete sprint and look like they are running in mud. They lack stiffness and much of the force being produced is being "leaked." 🏃💨 Technique, technique, technique!!! Doesn't matter how strong or fast you are, if your mechanics are off, you will never achieve maximal speeds. Remember, sprinting is a SKILL, it MUST be practiced regularly. ⚠⚠⚠☠☠☠🛇🛇🛇 Doing "speed ladders" drills will NOT make you fast, in fact, it can make you SLOWER!! It incorrectly re-enforces "tap dancing" where minimal force application is produced. You go nowhere fast. Also, conditioning or endurance training is NOT speed training. You should not be "tired" during or following a real speed training session. If you are sprinting less than 90% of your fastest time, you are not working on maximal speed.
