Don't Run Away From Your Problems

10 Ways to Improve Your Speed

running

1.  Sprint train at least 2 times per week.  You have to use it so you don’t lose it.

2.  When you sprint train, run 4-10 sprints at 10-50 yards each sprint.  The variety of distances helps with transfer of speed to different distances.

3.  Time your sprints about every 6 weeks to track progress.  Record each one to make changes as necessary.

4.  Sprint all year round. In bad weather, run the 20-yard (18-meter) dash for time indoors.

5.  Use video analysis. It can be extremely valuable!  If you don’t have video analysis, simply have a qualified person observe you sprint and help you with corrections.

6.  Perform proper flexibility training up to six times per week. To improve speed, you must move and stretch correctly.

7.  Perform plyometrics twice per week, minimum.  Make sure your form is perfect when doing the plyometrics.

8.  Parallel squat. If you squat but don’t go parallel, you will not improve speed maximally. You must squat to parallel to make gains in your speed.

9.  Perform the deadlift to strengthen and stretch the glutes and hamstrings at the same time.

10.  Practice power cleans to develop an explosive start to your sprints.

Try these tips out and see how fast you get!

What we're up to

UPSUPS 2

Chad Clark has been giving presentations in Pueblo to businesses and athletes on the importance of injury prevention and how to detect future injuries.  Here he is featured demonstrating the importance of proper body mechanics to a local UPS team.

Rawlings

Here he is giving a free presentation at the Rawlings Library to the general public. Go to our website to learn about his next upcoming workshops. www.pt-connections.com

 Yoga

Sam squared (Samantha Brown and Samantha Goeke) have started their journey to becoming certified yoga instructors. Keep an eye out for yoga workshops and free events in the upcoming months! 

Volleyball

Chad is speaking with volleyball athletes in this image. Many athletes think that warming up and going to practice will keep them safe from injury; this is simply not the case. If fault lines or imbalances are detected at an early stage through our screenings, we can help you prevent future injury.

Injury prevention ties into your overall health. Many people are able to function and get by in their daily activities but have a risk of fall, re-injury or have chronic pain…that’s where we come in!

Schedule your evaluation today to see how you can start being the best you that you can be!
