Often times, it is assumed that if an athlete makes it to a certain level of performance, they must know how to do everything right.  Running in particular.  If a skill position football player makes it to the professional level, he must run correctly.  Right?? Not necessarily.  In this video, we compare errors made from [...]

Even professional athletes don’t necessarily run properly.  This video analysis show the errors of a particular athlete.  As you view the video, try to pay attention to the positions.  I pick out key areas this athletes needs to develop to him run faster, in particular in his trunk and hips.

Sport Specific Speed what is it and when is it necessary By Chris Scarborough http://RunAFasteRace.com Coach@BetterRunningSpeed.com I often get asked about training athletes for developing speed in a particular sport. For example, the dad of an athlete will ask me about baseball speed, running the bases, chasing down a fly ball etc. While that is [...]

Few athletes use their hips properly when they run.  However, by learning just a few things, they can fix the errors, run faster, more efficiently and with less pain.  Watch this video and learn how the hips are supposed to be used to run correctly.

The bicep curl to help develop speed?  Isn’t that a strange muscle to be training in order to get faster?  Well, truth is, you should not train some muscles to run fast and others to get strong.  All muscles should do both.  This shows how a speed oriented athlete can train the biceps to do [...]

Running Faster — After One Month of Training.  This is a typical running technique improvement after a month of speed – strength training.

Run a faster pro agility (5-10-5).  Things not to do to run faster.

What makes good running, good? What makes bad running, bad? This video explains the difference.

For an athlete to run more effeciently, they must be able to make muscles turn on and turn off efficiently.  In order to do this, they must train the muscles properly.  As more 5K, 10k, half marathon runners, triathletes and marathon runners add strength training to their training program, the “how” of training is every [...]

This section shows how we use the ARPwave device to treat injuries.

This is part 1 of how the ARPWave machine (a device used to train muscles to absorb forces) can be used to

This maraton runner has one hip that flexes faster than the other.  Watch this analysis of one hip compared to the other.  One leg will limit the speed of the other.  Also, improvements in her ankle will make her faster as well. This runner can benefit from training right hip flexor to flex faster and perhaps [...]

The hips are the part of the body that generates power and strength, the trunk stabilizes (most of the time) and allows the hips to do their job. Speed starts at the hips, is transfered into the ground by the foot/ankle, and is stabilized by the trunk.

This is an analysis from a former client.  I will tell you this was his pretest– but he got a lot better.   There are a lot of things that allow athletes to run faster and it is not just doing a bunch of drills, or just lifting more weight.  This athlete is strong, but runs [...]

A shameless plug for our running and strength training program

This drill trains both the hip extension reflex and the tilt or stumble reflex.  Most athletes can only do 2 or 3 reps of this drill properly.

I have personally evaluated thousands of runners’ techniques.  Almost all of them make the same mistakes — the question is how bad are the errors, not what are the errors.  This podcast begins to help you identify exactly the types of errors runners make.

Run a faster race episode 2 — What does good running technique consist of?  Well, there is more to it than just running more.  The fastest runners in the world at any distance have the same basic techniques regardless of whether they are running a sprint or a marathon, or for that matter running in [...]
