Demo of working on speed development,
Running stairs to increase stride length versus to increase power to turnover.
Using hand action to improve leg action, maintain forward lean, work off of ball of the foot and work on step over action, start by touching every stair then switch to touching every other stair by altering hand and arm action and not by increasing effort.

  • dude's about to pass out

  • I would think because he is talking right after running hills is good. His heart and breathing rate is going as part of the recovery process.

  • Stairs and hills are excellent but they should not be the main focus of a speed development program.

    If you don't have any equipment that is fine. Many ways to develop speed without any special equipment.

    If you send me a video and tell me what type of place or facility that you have access to, I could offer you some ideas on drills and workouts.

  • in your opinion are stairs and hills the best way 2 improve speed, if u don"t have training equipment.? what is the best way 2 improve top speed and acceleration.?? help please.. i like your videos btw keep them goin.

  • In the above video, it is not the stairs but the way I am running the stairs along with working on my hand action that makes this a good way to work on speed development.

  • yes. keeping stride rate high and stride lenght low is not good because once you increase you stride length your leg speed will follow and you will cover more distance than if you were running at the same rate with smaller strides.

  • Does increasing stride length increase speed time? I read that to keep the stride rate high and keep the stride length to a minimum.

  • I have a done alot of research on youtube and you seem to be the only person who really knows what they are taking about. I used to compete in the 400m and 200m up until i was 18. i am now 32 and want to start competeing again. i havent lost everything cause i stayed jogging through all the years, but i lost my form what is the best way to get my arms moving smoothly again and properly. i am trying your comments about stride length cause my sprinting strides are now short and choppy.

  • is downhill sprint training good fo stride lenght and running hills backwards also fast twitch fiber exercises
