Athletic Training Tips and Coaching Philosophy

Training with Purpose

At Go Speed, we don't believe in shortcuts. My philosophy is simple: if you are a beginner, I will make you fit. If you are fit, I will make you a runner. And if you are already a runner, I guarantee I will make you a champion. This requires more than just physical effort; it requires a shift in mindset.

Why Technique Matters

Many athletes come to me having practiced bad habits for years. Whether it is how you land your foot or how you attack the curve in a 200m race, micro-adjustments make the difference between a podium finish and a mid-pack result. For example, running the curve isn't just about speed; it is about cutting the tangent to travel the shortest possible distance. These small technical corrections are what we focus on every single day on the track.

The Nutrition Reality

I often get asked about protein powders and fancy supplements. My answer remains the same: stop looking for a magic pill. If you are a young athlete training for school-level or even state-level events, a clean, natural diet—think paneer, sprouts, fish, and seasonal vegetables—is usually enough. Professional athletes at the national level should always get a blood test before touching supplements. Do not burden your body with what it does not need.

Losing is Part of the Game

There is no friendship on the track during a workout, but there is immense respect. I tell my students that losing a race is often more important than winning. It teaches you to stay humble, identify your weaknesses, and return with a stronger strategy. If you want to train in an environment that values discipline, honesty, and raw hard work, join us at the track.
