Story By Bjorn Jansen
Every athlete has untapped potential waiting to be unlocked. Whether you're a seasoned athlete striving for a personal best or a beginner aiming to improve endurance and speed, SpeedPro is designed to help you break through barriers and reach your highest potential. With a personalised, science-driven approach to running, SpeedPro equips you with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to become a faster, more efficient runner.
1. Tailored running training plans
A personal training plan is one of the most effective ways to unlock your potential. At SpeedPro, we understand that no two runners are alike. Your goals are unique, so we personalise our training plans.
Whether you're training for a 100m or an 800m, we craft your training to focus on your strengths while addressing areas to allow progression. Our training plans combine speed development, endurance-building workouts, strength training, and recovery to create a balanced, results-driven plan.
Our expert coaches assess your current performance, set achievable milestones, and refine your training as you progress. This tailored approach ensures that your workouts always push you in the right direction while minimising the risk of burnout or injury.
2. Unlock your running speed with precision
At SpeedPro, we know that running faster is not just about putting in more miles; it's about training smarter and more efficiently. Our coaching emphasises:
- Running Form: Poor technique can slow you down and increase your risk of injury. Our coaches use video analysis to refine your running form, optimising posture, foot strike, stride length, and arm movement for maximum efficiency.
- Speed Work: Speed development is a key focus, with workouts like sprints, intervals, and hill training designed to boost your power and explosiveness. SpeedPro athletes routinely incorporate 200m and 400m intervals, strides, and drills to sharpen and develop their speed.
- Plyometric Drills: Plyometrics like bounding, box jumps, and jump squats help you develop explosive strength and improve your overall running mechanics.
By refining these elements, we help you unlock what we call "hidden speed", which makes you faster with less effort.
3. Build endurance for consistent performance
Speed without endurance is unsustainable. SpeedPro integrates long runs, tempo runs, and threshold training into every program. Building endurance helps you maintain a fast pace, whether sprinting in the final 100 meters or holding a steady pace throughout the first lap of an 800m race.
We design workouts that gradually build your aerobic capacity, ensuring you can push through fatigue and finish strong. This endurance foundation is key for sustained speed across all distances, from the 100m to the 800m.
4. Strengthen your body for maximum power
SpeedPro isn't just about running—it's about running with power. Strength training is a fundamental aspect of our approach. We combine weight training, bodyweight exercises, and functional movement drills to strengthen the key muscle groups that contribute to running speed and efficiency.
Exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and core work improve leg power, stability, and coordination. With the proper strength foundation, you'll notice significant improvements in your stride, power output, and injury prevention.
5. Recovery and rest for optimal performance
Recovery is just as important as the training itself. Without adequate rest and recovery, even the best training plan will fail. At SpeedPro, we emphasise the importance of rest days, proper nutrition, and active recovery techniques like stretching and mobility exercises.
Adequate sleep, hydration, and muscle repair allow your body to adapt to training stresses and return stronger. By prioritising recovery, you'll be able to train consistently without the risk of overtraining or burnout.
6. Ongoing support and motivation
At SpeedPro, you're never alone in your journey. Our team of expert coaches is with you every step of the way, offering constant feedback, motivation, and encouragement. Whether you're training for a specific race or working to improve your overall fitness, we'll keep you on track and help you focus on your goals.
Unlocking your full running potential requires personalised training, innovative strategies, and consistent effort. At SpeedPro, we offer a comprehensive approach to running that maximises your strengths, refines your weaknesses, and helps you achieve your goals faster.
