This month at Core Advantage is all about Acceleration. James and Jacob discuss the limitations to good acceleration, why it's so important, and how to improve your own 0-5m speed.

Heaps of resources for this one:

We have a bunch of videos on all things sprinting and acceleration, the best way to access them is to check out our video playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLGwYUBXVGQWj1XlIIw__u-Q-jq2m_FLj

A word of warning though, acceleration training is physically challenging and a great way to tear a quad if you aren't familiar, be sure to start gradually and build up your intensity and volume gradually.

Our warm-up is also a great way to prepare your body for any sprinting workout also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbZZPHn7NnQ&t=74s
