This episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast sees us looking back at a roundtable from early 2021 where Rob interview Hakan Andersson, Jason Hettler and George Petrakos on the topic of resisted speed training.

In the first half of the roundtable, we chat around why we may programme resisted speed training in the first place. What can we gain from it? This sets us up nicely for further discussion with George and Hakan about how we can optimally programme it. George gives us some incredible tips on how we can do that with large groups and athletes with varying training ages and abilities.

In the second half of the chat we focus on if resisted speed training alters mechanics and how thie method of training compares to others like hill sprints. We then finish off with a few quick fire questions which lead to some really interesting discussion on common isses, myths and misconceptions about resisted speed training.

Main talking points -

  • Why do resisted sprints?
  • What is high, medium and low resistance?
  • Programming it for sprinters
  • Periodising loads across a training block]
  • Programming with large groups and limited equipment
  • Altering mechanics & the 10% decrement
  • Resisted sprints vs hills
  • Common issues, myths and misconceptions
