PICKIN' UP SPEED!

Hello and welcome everyone! Today I will address SPEED! In my exhaustive research regarding
speed, quickness, endurance and proper breathing, I find the various and somewhat amusing
contradictory opinions of the authors. Everyone is an "expert" these days. Over the course of history for runners and sprinters, speed has been the one constant factor in all sports. That's the
one ingredient we can't get enough of as athletes. Millions of words have been written on techniqe, posture, stride and training. If our training is flawed, it doesn't matter how often and
how long we spend in training...we will not improve. If a sprinter does not possess proper technique sprinting at 60% capacity, sprinting at full speed will also be flawed. Cannot get better.
If we are flawed, we are wasting our time. We endure frustration and despair...and defeat. The
winner's circle becomes a moving target. Much emphasis has been placed on the stride of a runner or sprinter...perhaps too much. In any sport speed and quickness come into play. We
should be emphasizing REVOLUTIONS. In a recent study, it was pointed that greater
revolutions (feet and legs) is key to greater speed. This study also pointed out that by attaining greater revolutions we could attain speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. The fastest
animal can hit speeds of 70 miles per hour. The faster the foot springs up after striking the
ground, the faster the next strike...and the faster we sprint or run. The brain has to translate
that to the muscles. Mental focus...mental fitness. I will now incorporate some new exercises
in my training and my athletic development camps. I will refer back to this subject in the weeks
to come. A must read...Born to Run.

Have a great and meaningful life everyone! Jimmy O
