At 31 I ran a speed experiment on myself. Here is what got me to 8.63 m/s, plus your injury questions answered.
From three weeks in Portugal: the speed block I ran on myself, why ankle stiffness was my rate limiter after an ACL, and the eustress vs distress idea that let me push harder. Then a full listener Q&A.
What you'll get:
- How to get faster in your 30s
- How to train ankle stiffness without flaring up
- What to do when scans are clear but pain persists
- Rebuilding eccentric strength & RFD in the knee after an ACL
- Breaking into S&C coaching
