Do you want to Run Faster?

Run Faster book now available on Amazon

how to run fasterMy latest book Run Faster is now available here.

It contains a 6 week training programme based around technical drills and resistance training.

It contains all the ideas and thoughts that I have learnt from working with both athletes and top coaches from around the world. 

Whilst it is a short book, it has taken a long time to write, because I wanted to ensure that it was as up to date as possible.

I have been refining the drills and sequences over the summer, and this is the culmination of that work.

The book contains many video clips highlighting each drill and practice.

This includes the specific resistance training exercises that are needed to enhance your running action. This also forms your hamstring injury prevention programme.

Programme overview

If you are a team sports player, a recreational runner, or a track athlete then this book will help you refine and develop your running technique and fitness.

 Most people associate running fitness with getting tired first, technique second. This book shows the importance of developing your technique and strength concurrently. You then practice running well and at speed. Your fitness develops by repeating quality work.

My underlying principle is: Run Well, Run Fast, Rest and Repeat.

Client Testimonials

Weston AGC
I first met James at a South West Gymnastic conference and thought he was superb then, and still do! James' ability to adapt to different sports and levels is excellent, and he is superb at getting his message across to different ages of gymnasts. He did a workshop at our club for our competitive gymnasts and it was superb, His work was of great value to a wide range of ages and levels, with a tremendous emphasis on posture and injury prevention. We have been able to put his training methods into practice and are seeing an improvement in the all round strength and fitness of our gymnasts.
