A 6-week series of training sessions incorporating plyometric exercises, hill work, and speed work to enable runners to break through to a new level in their performance.
This series is designed to build progressively over 6 consecutive weeks to bring participants to new levels in their running. Whether your purpose is to peak for a race, work on your top end speed, or improve your stamina, these workouts build the neuromuscular connections necessary for fast, efficient running. This is not speed work on a track. Instead, it incorporates a variety of exercises that builds leg strength in a way that is running-specific. This is a very important distinction, because most strength work taught to runners misses the point of it needing to develop running-specific strength, and not just strength in general. Misapplied plyometrics, hill work, and speed work can result in worse performance or even injury, whereas our graduates routinely set new personal records.
The Advanced Speed Training Clinic will enhance your running whatever your preferred race distance may be. This clinic can be incorporated into anyone's training, even if you are doing speed work with another group. You will not get this type of training elsewhere. Wednesday sessions give you ample time to adapt and recover for your weekend long run.
(Note: Because of the increased work-load and strength work in this course, it is necessary to be in good condition prior to taking it. This is not recommended for beginners.)
