This isn't just about running fast; it forces your nervous system to adapt to higher speeds than you can hit on a flat track. We incorporate this specifically 10 to 15 days before a competition. It is a simple, non-negotiable tool that gives you that extra edge when you return to the flat ground. ### The Mechanics of Speed Speed comes from mechanics, not magic. Whether you are training at our IIT Delhi or GD Goenka facilities, the focus remains on the fundamentals. The first 30 meters of a 100m sprint are the backbone of your race. If your drive phase is off, you have already lost. We use resistance bands, drag running with weights, and block-start practice to ensure your initial acceleration is explosive. ### Mastering the Curve Running a 200m or 400m race requires more than just leg power; it requires a scientific approach to the curve. I teach my athletes to lean inward from the ankles, not the waist, while keeping the inside arm compact and the outside arm pumping. It is about control. You cannot attack the straight if you cannot hold your form on the turn. ### Training Philosophy We don't do 'easy'. My training sessions are built on the 'catch-up trick' and competition drills that force you to extend your limits. We make the faster runner start behind the slower one, forcing both to accelerate harder. If you are struggling with your gait or wasting energy with poor arm action, we fix it with immediate, repetitive technical correction. No filler, no shortcuts. Just hard work, sweat, and measured results. ## About Amit Khanna I am Amit Khanna, former fastest man of India and founder of Go Speed Sprint Academy.
