ABSTRACT:
The racing speed training method uses a support device attached to a belt, harness or seat which encircles or supports some portion of the runner's body. The support device can be freestanding or can be attached to a propulsion means for road or track training. The supports are adjustable and are releasably attached by clips or the like to a belt or harness around the runner's body. The runner will be partially suspended from the device such that when his or her feet hit the ground, less of the runner's weight will impact upon the ground. The amount of lift can be varied by shortening or lengthening the supports, by adjusting the tension of the support, or raising or lowering the frame so that a runner can start training at an artificially-induced lighter impact weight, find his or her optimum form at an increased speed, and then gradually apply the improved speed and form to carry the runner's full weight.
