Increase both the length and frequency of the stride
Train your body to propel you forward to the finish line!
The Champion’s Quest land-based curriculum is largely centered on the athlete building a solid foundation of total body strength including lower-body, core and upper body strength. It is also based on increasing the range of motion that the athlete’s arms and legs go through while running. Along with proper running technique and increased range of motion (flexibility) when the athlete is using more muscle fiber to propel them forward it results in increased stride length. This means the athlete is covering more ground with each step. Once a base level strength is developed and range of motion is increased the athlete will then train for muscle endurance in order to improve the lactic acid threshold so that the tempo that they are running at can be elevated. When an athlete is dedicated to a land based sport-specific development program, the difference is very noticeable on the race course… and dropping time is where it counts!
