HARRY AA’S QUICKEST TIPS

How to build yourself for speed – beyond actually sprinting

-

UNILATERAL TRAINING

‘Sprinting is about taking a large force single-legged and projecting yourself, control and stability. In the gym, the first thing you want to do is single-leg training, whether that is split squats or step-ups.’

BUILD ENDURANCE

‘Superset your main power exercises with a weighted step-up or some form of jump, such as depth or dumbbell rocket. You’re learning to control a movement pattern and then move with the force again.’

INCREASE STRIDE LENGTH

‘Bound: hop or leap from leg to leg, taking longer strides each time to build and carry momentum. Keep your chest up and hips square. Drive your knees and land on the balls of your feet.’
