Les Spellman explains how to design an eight-week speed training program focusing on force, power, and velocity for athletes.

We're back! In today's video, I walk through how I plan an 8 week speed program for new athletes. Let me know what you think in the comments! I just released my NEW course "Art Of Acceleration: Coach's Guide To Programming For Speed"! The purpose of this course is to share my step-by-step speed development process to profile, study, analyze, program, and give feedback to your athletes. Check it out here: train.lesspellman.com/artofacceleration

FAQ | RESOURCE LIST | S-TIER POSTS Hello! Welcome to the new and improved FAQ/Resource List/S-Tier Post list. This has been created with the idea that if you look into, read, listen, and watch all of the resources that are listed, you will have a foundational level of knowledge that makes up the majority of what you need to understand as it comes to physical development and theoretical application in programming for sprinting. Every single resource on this list I (BDD) have personally gone through probably several times over. Watching, reading, listening, studying, I still reference them regularly. I have to admit, the most complete resources on this list and the most helpful (In my opinio…

Hey man! I would like to ask you a question. In this FAQ it has the "How to Build an 8 Week Speed Program" video, and the guy build the program around having weeks focusing on one thing, like force, power and velocity. However, looking in other posts in this sub, there's also some people that do acceleration and max velocity in the same week, which one is the best for a beginner? Mixed weeks or focus on one thing like the youtube video? Thanks!
