More running. More intervals. More workouts. More effort. But what if the problem isn't that you're not doing enough? What if you're simply repeating the same movement mistakes over and over again? In this episode, we're exploring one of the biggest misconceptions in speed training and discussing what actually contributes to becoming a faster runner. You'll learn why practice doesn't always make perfect, how movement quality influences performance, and why efficiency often beats effort when it comes to speed development. In This Episode: Why more running doesn't automatically create more speed The difference between effort and efficiency How movement patterns become permanent What elite movers do differently The four major contributors to speed development Why mechanics matter more than most people realize How small improvements compound over time Want To Improve Your Sprint Mechanics?
