An active warmup will prepare you for a speed test and video analysis of your technique. From there, I will teach you specific techniques that promote the posture and stride mechanics that create maximum power, acceleration and velocity. The ultimate goal of the session is to provide you with concrete drills you can quickly incorporate into your regular training. Based on this session I will provide recommendations on how to proceed. I utilize slow motion video to analyze subtle aspects of movement, as well as cutting edge timing equipment to accurately assess the gains made with fine adjustments in technique. I will also recommend specific strength training when necessary.
