In most team sports like football, soccer, basketball, baseball and in distance running and triathlon--simple leg speed makes champions. By targeting the neuromuscular system and strengthening muscle and connective tissue, Magill's <i>SpeedRunner</i> program builds speed, strength, agility, coordination, balance, proprioception, and explosive power so athletes can excel.</p><p>Magill developed his <i>SpeedRunner</i> program over decades of experience coaching athletes of all ages from short sprints to the marathon. He's led his club to two dozen US National Masters Championships in road running and cross country. As a 5-time USA Masters Cross Country Runner of the Year and multiple American and world age-group record holder himself, Magill is proof that his training methods are effective. </p><p>Over the four weeks of the SpeedRunner program, you'll focus on faster acceleration, top-end speed, strength, agility, and speed endurance. Magill also offers speed-only training and supplemental sessions to further hone your top-end speed, core musculature, and whole-body strength. The <i>SpeedRunner</i> plans balance training volume and intensity with recovery to ensure rapid, injury-free gains.</p><p>Bottom line: The ability to run well is a fundamental skill required for success in any sport that includes running. <i>SpeedRunner</i> can transform your running performance.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"When Pete Magill talks, smart runners listen." --<strong>Scott Douglas, <em>Runner's World</em> senior content editor</strong></p><p>"Whether you're just starting out as a runner or starting afresh, you can do no better than heed the guidance of running's ultimate comeback kid, Pete Magill." --<strong>Matt Fitzgerald</strong><strong>, author of <em>How Bad Do You Want It?</em> and <em>Racing Weight</em></strong></p><p>"Do what Pete says and you're sure to run stronger, healthier, and faster." --<strong>Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon winner, Runner's World editor at large</strong></p><p>"<em>Build Your Running Body</em> represents something new and needed in sports literature.
