Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

THE FAST LANE w/ Chris Korfist, Chris Kerr & Dan Fichter: Episode 2, Part 1 - Audience Q&A
Q: Do you prefer extreme isometrics or reflexive firing isometric drills to teach muscles to relax quicker?
Use both; start novices with extreme isometrics to find a position, then progress to reflexive or controlled-isometric work to train relaxation and active control.
THE FAST LANE w/ Chris Korfist, Chris Kerr & Dan Fichter: Episode 2, Part 1 - Audience Q&A
Q: Are isometrics enough to address ankle mobility, or are there certain stretches and correctives that work too?
Isometrics can place the ankle in a productive position, but mobility needs to be earned by moving through the range with targeted drills like shuffle walks; combine isometrics with progressive mobility work for best results.
The Fast Lane, Episode 8: Foot Strength, Acceleration, and the Practical Side of Speed Development
Q: What is the most important quality you think can be changed to improve someone's running speed during a winter-spring track season?
A core answer is that foot strength and ability to absorb energy through the lower leg are foundational; without solid foot mechanics and energy absorption, higher speed cannot be achieved, so the emphasis is on foot strengthening and isometrics as a starting point, followed by acceleration work.
The Fast Lane w/ Christ Korfist & Dr. Ken Clark: Unlocking Sprint Speed
Q: What are the three most important qualities that you think can be changed in someone's running speed?
The three key qualities are angular velocity, rate of force development (and stiffness). They can be improved through longer training blocks (12-16 weeks and longer), and this improvement is supported by research showing changes in mechanics and force application.
Episode 5: Steve Schween on Maximizing Training Data & Tech in the High School Setting
Q: What are some of your roles, responsibilities within the organization and kind of, you know, what are some major projects or goals that you guys have as an organization moving forward?
I oversee those four states and building the membership there and moving forward.
