Speed is crucial for all sports performance. It’s often said that people are born fast and that little can be done to increase speed. However, although there are people who are born with a preponderance of speed and power producing fast twitch muscle fibers, which naturally make them fast and explosive, the majority of us will have a pretty even distribution between fast and slow twitch (aerobic, endurance orientated) muscle fibers. Thus what becomes crucial in the search for speed is the way in which we train our bodies and in particular our muscles’ fibers (and our neuromuscular and central nervous system) to boost our speed. This speed training program is designed to do just this. It combines specific speed (running) workouts with complimentary weights and plyometric (jumping exercises) conditioning routines.
This training program is primarily designed to improve out-and-out linear speed, ie 40m performance.
