Week Goals
This week we introduce Neuro Speed….training the body to move fast and efficient while not stressing the body. We'll do this on the run through strides. Strides are short efforts of running fast by slowly accelerating allowing fast, quick footstrikes and an efficient form on the upper body.
These strides only last 20-30 seconds but are not run "hard." By slowly accelerating from normal run pace to near top speed, but over a very short time, you should not feel at all fatigued but your body will begin to neurologically know what it feels like to be swift--think cheetah!
