Complete Speed Training by Latif Thomas - Review

Thanks to my wife, Lena Phoenix, I'm now the happy owner of a copy of Complete Speed Training by Latif Thomas and Patrick Beith.

I've only just begun to go through the 5 CD set, but already I am VERY impressed... and it's changed my warm-up, my idea of what I should be doing during a workout, and my goals! And I just got it YESTERDAY!

I'll say more later, but in the meantime, here's a clip to give you a flavor for the course:

Thank you prolotherapy and deadlifting!

Been a while since I posted...

I took some serious time off after the hip/back diagnoses and spent a LOT of time, effort, and money on rehab.

I also spent a lot of time deadlifting, using the protocol from Underground Secrets of Faster Running (see the blogroll for a link).

I started running again about 3 weeks ago and felt pretty good!

Not up to full speed yet, but getting there quickly.

The prolotherapy has really helped my hip stability and all that pain is now gone.

The deadlifting has really strengthened my core and made my isometric power on the track much greater -- I'm standing up taller, faster off the track... can't wait for my first time trial.

But, my left calf wants me to wait. After 3 weeks, I got a minor tweak in the calf. Thought it went away, but then it re-tweaked while doing some plyos. I think it needs another week.
