Coach,

I am a junior tailback in Cali. My good friend just completed a 40-yard training program where he said he went from a high 4.6 to a mid 4.4. He is now being recruited by big schools like Wash ST. and kansas state. The program is called Function 4.3

the url is 40yarddashtraining.com Text

I run a 4.5 and my coach think I have a shot at the WAC or the Mountain West. I have some combines coming up and I really want to lower my time to a mid 4.4. I am wondering about what I should do? I may try this manual or strength shoes??

Thanks

Peace

There are a lot of things you can do to improve your 40time. Do u do a lot of cleans? they help a lot with fast twitch muscle recruitment. Another thign to try is sled pulls, basicaly it is a belt attahced to a sled add weight and practice runnign the first 20yrds of your 40 with weight it will help you with a faster turnover and increase force production.

or you can do anything practical to improve your stride length and stride frequency, like running up and down and incline, because these two componets are what constitutes speed. You can get with your track coach and work on your start and the aerodynamics of running correctly ( no flying elbows, splayed knees, coming up to soon on your start, and anything else that allows the air to zoom in on and impede your forward progress. Visulize a white line and stay on that line from start to finish, in other words don't weave. Hope these will help you.
