Sprint and Hurdle Training Methods, II: Shaping the Future of Sprint and Hurdle Training

Richard W. Ross’s second-edition guide digs deeper into the science of speed to provide new and innovative approaches to training for track and field. He reveals the “Holy Grail of Faster Running,” the essentials of speed and speed endurance training, and the fundamentals of hurdle technique, from takeoff through the getaway stride.

Whether you’re a novice or an experienced track-and-field coach, this guide will challenge your conventional thinking and have your focus shifting away from weights, rep counts, and how fast and far to run, in order to illuminate one of the most important aspects of training, which is MSF, or the effect of mass-specific force on running speed. His very simple, yet very powerful, training methods result in faster sprinting and hurdling, while significantly reducing the standard on-track training protocols. It is an in-depth explanation of what happens when you add mass to your body, how you can become stronger without excessive mass, and how exactly MSF improves your speed.

From the starting block to the finish line, Ross’s addition to sprint and hurdle training is straightforward, easy to use, and essential reading for coaches and athletes alike.
