SpeedRunner Offers Quicker Acceleration, Agility, and Higher Max Velocity in 4 Weeks
Boulder, CO, USA — May 8, 2018 — In the all-new SpeedRunner, celebrated running coach Pete Magill creates a 4-week training program to develop speed for athletes in any sport that involves running. By adding the carefully designedSpeedRunner program to any sports training program, athletes will notice improved speed in a matter of weeks. SpeedRunner: 4 Weeks to Your Fastest Leg Speed in Any Sport is now available in bookstores, running shops, and online. Preview the book atvelopress.com/speedrunner.
In every sport that includes running, the difference between the best and the rest is tenths of a second. In most team sports like football, soccer, basketball, and baseball, leg speed is crucial to making plays and outmaneuvering opponents. In running sports like track, cross-country, and triathlon, simple leg speed makes champions. By targeting the neuromuscular system and strengthening muscle and connective tissue, Magill’s SpeedRunner program builds speed, strength, agility, coordination, balance, proprioception, and explosive power so athletes can excel. Each week involves focused sessions with exercises and drills that develop specific speed skills. All plans include prop or no-prop options so any athlete or team can use the equipment and locations accessible to them. Magill also offers speed-only training and supplemental sessions to further hone top-end speed, core musculature, and whole-body strength. The SpeedRunner plans balance training volume and intensity with recovery to ensure rapid, injury-free gains.
Magill developed his SpeedRunner program over decades of experience coaching athletes of all ages from short sprints to the marathon. He’s led his running club to two dozen USATF National Masters Championships. As a 5-time USA Masters Cross Country Runner of the Year and multiple American and world age-group record holder himself, Magill is proof that his training methods are effective. This June, Magill will launch his SpeedRunner combines to help athletes of all ages learn and test his science-based, experience-tested methods.
