Whether you are at IIT Delhi or Vasant Kunj, my method focuses on pushing through when your body is full of lactic acid, because that is the only way to build speed endurance. It isn't just about showing up; it is about hitting the specific paces I set for you, even when you feel like giving up. I have spent my life on the track, from being the fastest man in India in the 90s to now coaching the next generation. My philosophy is simple: there is no shortcut to speed. When you train with me at Go Speed, you are not just jogging; you are learning how to execute a start, manage a curve, and push your physical limits. ### The Science of Speed I blend the science of plyometrics and resistance training with old-school discipline. Whether you are training for 100m, 200m, or hurdles, we use video analysis to fix biomechanical flaws like pelvic tilt or incorrect arm swings. We don't just guess; we track your progress with timed flys. ### Mental Toughness Athletics is 50% physical and 50% mental. I have seen athletes who want to quit after two repetitions, only to break their personal records moments later when they are pushed. I create that environment. We treat para-athletes and able-bodied athletes with the same rigorous standard because grit has no disability. ### Grassroots to Glory I believe the old saying 'kheloge koodoge hoge kharab' is dead. Today, sport is a viable career path, but it requires a 'nawab' level of dedication. My academy is a family. We celebrate medals, but we also learn to lose with dignity. If you are ready to stop making excuses and start working on your pulse rate and technique, then we have a spot for you on the track. ## About Amit Khanna I am Amit Khanna, and my track record speaks for itself—I have been where you want to go. I don't just coach athletes; I build them, using the same discipline that made me the fastest man in India. Join me, and let’s get to work on that podium finish.
