The machine accents the same muscular sequences used in running on a track.

Athletes can learn high speed coordination in preparation for their performances on the track. Speed can be taught by running to the beat of an electronic metronome at ever increasing steps per minute.

Training on the Speed Machine produces a stronger muscular development due to running against continuous resistance.

The use of a harness allows for proper running action at high speeds without fear of falling. The hands are free to move normally because they are not needed to hold on for balance.

The coach has the athlete nearby at all times and can therefore make immediate adjustments to the form, when necessary.

The machine is responsive to the athletes’ action and at no time does the athelete lose the sense of being in control.

Because of the high absorbing capacity of the running platform, athletes’ joints are not subjected to the high compression forces of the track. Athletes can therefore train with higher intensity or greater frequency without fear of being injured.

Speed and resistance adjustments can be made in very small increments from workout to workout. These adjustments are hardly noticed by the athlete, but in time the sum total of additions create a significant improvement in performance.

Speed changes on the machine can be done abruptly, from step to step. The Speed Machine does not require any time to accelerate or decelerate, which makes it ideal for interval or intermittent runs.

The machine frees both athlete and coach from the effects of inclement weather and allows for the implementation of a year round program.
