Everybody who has ever been involved in some sort of sport knows the need of speed! In almost every sport it is a necessity in order to become successful. Even our ancestors were in need of speed, or they got eaten- or beaten to death by the enemy. So it´s in our blood. But even though it is such a necessity in sports I often see people who don’t have it developed to their full potential. They may train their strength (often focused around their legs), their agility, run their sprints and so on. But in order to become the fastest you can be you have to incorporate a lot of things and know a bit about how the body works and the mechanics of sprinting. In this article series I am about to share with you the things I consider to be of importance and try to make this complex and widespread area a bit more accessible to you. And just for the sake of confusing you (just messing around) I will go from upper body to lower body in this article series and finish up with a bit of training methodology for speed.
