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.

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.

Louise Helyer – Modern Pentathlete, Commonwealth Games Silver Medallist Epee
I have been working with James since September 2009, with a history of becoming injured in winter months our main goal was to over come this and help my core/hip area to become more stable thus enabling me to run at my full potential. Not only have I made it through the winter months without gaining the usual knee injuries I have also improved my performance to currently become one of the top ranked athletes.
