Whether we're on the track with resistance sleds or training in the gym, we build the strength that separates winners from the rest. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Every rep counts. Whether an athlete needs support with a resistance band or can do it on their own, progress is progress. We build foundational strength one push up at a time.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9daa77c6-f6b1-484c-a018-12528f6bf2f8) - [Video: Resistance running, or drag running, is a key workout for improving acceleration and stride power.

If you want to shave seconds off your timing, you need to fix your energy leaks. We use resistance running and heavy sled drills to build the force you need to explode off the start line. It’s not about bulk; it’s about making sure every muscle fiber fires the second that whistle blows. ### Building the Engine Speed is a product of force application. My training at IIT Delhi and GD Goenka focuses on converting raw gym strength into track speed. We don't lift like bodybuilders; we lift to sprint. If your strength doesn't transfer to the track, it’s useless weight. ### The Go Speed Approach * **Resistance Running:** Using sleds, bands, and harness drills to force your legs to push harder against the ground. This improves your drive phase and acceleration. * **Explosive Plyometrics:** Box jumps, hurdle hops, and depth jumps to train your nervous system for rapid, high-impact movements. * **Functional Lifting:** We focus on compound movements like squats and lunges, but with protocols designed for sprinters—focusing on speed of execution, not just the weight on the bar. ### Why Technique Wins You can be the strongest person in the gym, but if your biomechanics are off, you're leaking energy. Every session includes correction. I look at your start, your stride length, and your foot strike. We fix the leaks so the power we build actually translates to a faster time on the clock. If you’re a cricketer needing that extra gear between wickets or a sprinter hunting for a personal best, this is where you build the foundation. ## About Amit Khanna I’m Amit Khanna.
