Speed is the game changer..

We’re all familiar with the notion that speed is king. Sport science research has revealed that the fastest athletes sign bigger contracts and score more often than their slower peers. There is no substitute for raw speed, it decides the moments that matter. Seeing an athlete at full stride leaving the opposition in their wake is a sight to behold and the holy grail of sports performance. Coaches will pay millions for it and the good news is, with proper programming, anyone can develop their sprint speed.

FAQs
Who is this program for?
This is designed for dedicated athletes looking to develop game breaking speed, however don't have a background in genuine sprinting. Lucky for you you're in the right place. Sprinting is stressful, so each week is written to ensure your body can acclimatise to the volume appropriately and adapt.
What surface should I be training on?
I would recommend an athletics track for the first session directed toward Acceleration and Max Velocity, and a field for the second session directed toward Change of Direction (COD) and Agility. However if you don't have access to an athletics track a field will do fine.
Can I run this concurrently with my Strength & Conditioning program?
Yes! This is designed to be a part of your physical preparation, and will compliment your gym work perfectly. If training both on the same day, the best option is to complete your speed session prior to your strength session, in order to reduce the likelihood of injury and improve session quality.
What if I want to train more than 2x per week?
If for whatever reason you aren't spending as much time into your gym work and want to spend more time chasing high-speed running adaptations, you could repeat Session 1 each week for a total of 3 sessions, provided you're balancing the stress and recovery on your body.
