Superior Speed

Old school speed training methods use stationary weights and drills that only exercise a few muscles at a time with a limited range of motion or they use resistance training that slows runners by changing their stride. These old fashioned, marathon speed training programs discourage athletes because they are boring, exhausting and take years to produce questionable results.

 

ACHILLES SPEED TRAINING AND INJURY PREVENTION SHOES AND PROGRAM IS FAR SUPERIOR TO THESE OLD FASHIONED METHODS BECAUSE: It the ONLY way in the world to stretch and strengthen all running muscles ligaments and tendons (at the same time) with corrected form and a true "running motion". Our shoes and drills force athletes to lift their own body weight thousands of times during a short work-out. This develops the powerful "planter flex" from the "ball of the foot" through the toes, lower and upper legs, hip and back in a ripple effect. Our shoes and drills are fun and only take 15 minutes a day for three days a week. Fast measurable results improve attitudes and get even less than dedicated athletes to train on their own. SUMMARY: It is not possible to run faster or prevent injuries without improving strength, agility, flexibility, balance, explosion and endurance. Achilles Speed training and injury prevention shoes and program are far superior because we rapidly increase all these skills with guaranteed results in weeks instead of years.

SPEED WINS!…………………………… DON’T LOSE!
In all sports the fastest players win, earn scholarships and sign pro contracts.

People spend $200 Billion dollars a year on strength for sports. They don’t spend money to develop speed because old fashioned training methods don’t guarantee results. They are based on an unproven THEORY that over training and exhaustion are necessary to increase speed. These “theories” discourage athletes because work-out time takes hours and these methods take years to produce questionable results.

Old fashioned resistance speed training defeats the goal of increasing speed because they slow runners down by changing their stride. Stationary weights and exercises only work a few muscles at a time with a limited range of motion. There is a better and proven way to increase speed!

ACHILLES SPEED, LLC UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEES TO MAKE ANY BOY OR GIRL RUN FASTER IN JUST EIGHT WEEKS BY TRAINING JUST 15 MINUTES A DAY, 3 DAYS A WEEK, plus we guarantee to prevent injuries and improve attitudes by quickly improving speed and all other skills.

The $200 billion dollar a year sports market has an endless supply of male and female customers of all ages in all sport that will gladly pay for an unconditionally guaranteed speed training and injury prevention program. The Achilles Speed training shoes and program is superior to old fashioned speed training methods because it is the ONLY way to stretch and strengthen thousands of muscles, ligaments and tendons at the same time with corrected form and true “running motion”.

The goal of our shoes and drills is speed NOT conditioning! Rest as long as necessary to do them correctly or not at all! You will get in top condition and run get faster with drills that are fun, easy to learn and help you become your own speed training Coach. Coach Doug Merchant, Achilles Speed shoe and program inventor says, “In 30 years I’ve never had players ask to drag sleds or lift weights. They constantly ask to train in my Achilles Speed shoes and program.”

OTHER PLATFORM SHOES???? The awkward or unstable design of other platform shoes change a runner’s stride and slow them down.
The perfectly designed Achilles Speed shoes are not legal to wear in competition. They cause a “down hill” running motion that allows athletes to run faster than they can in the best track shoes. Used as directed Achilles Speed shoes will help straighten the feet of “pigeon toe” or “slew foot” athletes.

Results prove Achilles Speed training shoes and program is superior to “old school” theories.
Dion Sanders set the NFL 40 yard dash record at 4.25 seconds. FIVE Achilles Speed customers have broken that record. World class athletes train in the Achilles Speed shoes as directed.

You can’t make the club in the tub!
Coach Merchant invented Achilles Speed shoes to prevent injuries. Then he discovered his players not only reduced injuries but they ran FASTER and his teams won a record number of championships. No one has ever reported a single injury from training in our shoes as directed.

Running faster and avoiding injuries is impossible without improving form, strength, quickness, explosion, agility, flexibility, balance and conditioning.
Hospital studies confirm that when used as directed the Achilles Speed shoes prevent injuries by improving speed and all other skills.
These same studies confirm athletes that train in our shoes and program as directed heal up to 50% faster if they do get hurt in competition.
We do the same thing for speed that weights do for strength! For example: In the beginning 95% of our customers can’t do one front leg squat. After 12 weeks 50% can do 10 with each leg.

Male and female customers of all ages in all sports use our shoes and drills to stretch, strengthen and increase reaction time for muscles, ligaments and tendons. Humans are born with the same amount of slow and fast twitch muscles. Upper body muscles must react faster to defend the eyes. Lower body muscles react slower without proper training. For example: Most people can move the slow twitch muscles of the ankle about 15 times in 10 seconds.
They can move the fast twitch muscles of the wrist about 30 times in ten seconds. Achilles speed training shoes and drills are designed to make slow twitch muscles of the feet, ankles and lower body react as fast as upper body muscles.

The reasons our speed training shoes and drills are so effective can be debated.
The “bottom line” is that we rapidly improve speed by reducing the time runners spend on the ground or in the air. We invite skeptics to consider “The Achilles Speed Challenge”.

We guarantee to help elementary level to world class athletes improve all skills and avoid injuries to play better and longer!
Strength equipment costs thousand of dollars. Customers confirm the few hundred dollars they spend for unconditionally guaranteed speed training and injury prevention is cheap at any price.

We can finance or hold a “fund raiser” for groups of 25 or more to buy Achilles Speed shoes.

We accept wagers, give odds and challenge any competitor to compare their speed training results to the Achilles Speed training shoes and program after 8 weeks. Don’t waste your time or money if you are not dedicated to using Achilles Speed shoes as directed. Coach Merchant developed our program over 25 years. Do NOT over train or change it. Other drills might compliment our program but NOTHING can replace it.

Training Tips

WARNING!

Consult you Doctor before starting any exercise program. Always wear the Achilles Speed shoes on a smooth, dry and flat surface to prevent injury. Start slowly! Rest as long as necessary between drills! (Rest the legs from working in our shoes by placing your heels on a 2 inch high curb or board between drills. This keeps heels off the ground to relax legs.) The object of these drills is speed, not conditioning! You will get in top condition and resting time will shorten. Train 15 to 20 minutes a day for 3 days a week during the off-season. Maintain the speed, strength and skills you gain by training during the season 10 to 15 minutes a day at least two days a week. More is not better! Do not over train or re-invent the wheel by changing the drills! Coach Doug Merchant eliminated many good drills and settled on the best ten for increasing speed and strength. Weights and other drills might compliment the Achilles Speed shoes and program but nothing can replace it. Do not buy our shoes and program if you are not dedicated and willing to train as directed.

INCREASE SPEED IN WEEKS INSTEAD OF YEARS!

Our shoes along with strength and plyometric speed modeling drills isolate and exercise thousands of muscles, ligaments and tendons at the same time with correct form, a full range and exclusive true "running motion". Achilles Speed shoes are not legal to wear in competition because their perfect design force athletes to run faster than they can in the best track shoes.

NOTE: It is impossible to increase speed without increasing strength, explosion, agility, flexibility, balance and conditioning. When athletes see measurable improvements in these skills after 8 weeks their attitudes improve! They will become their own personal speed trainer and Coaches will not have to force them to work-out!

 

Tips for Speed Training

1. Never stretch or exercise cold muscles! Do our warm up drills before beginning our program.

2. The GOAL of Achilles Speed shoes and program is SPEED. Injury prevention occurs because we rapidly increase all other sports skills. There are two warm up and nine speed drills of our program. When you can do them all perfectly in 15 minutes or less you will run as fast as you body structure and age allow.

3. Speed is made up of the START, RECOVERY, ACCELERATION and VELOCITY stage of sprinting.

4. Speed is about running NOT starting. We teach a quick start for the single purpose of getting to the final “velocity” stage of sprinting.

 
5. You lose strength over a long season if you stop lifting weights. Maintain the speed you gain by training at least 15 minutes a day for two days a week during your season. Why work hard in the off-season to lose a step during the critical season of your sport?

6. Concentrate on foot speed of movement and power in all drills. Land on the ball of the foot NOT on the toes and roll forward with a full range and powerful planter flex motion.

 

7. Over speed training in drill 10 of our program is where you put all the fundamentals together. This 110 yard sprint is a combination of sprinting and conditioning. Conditioning is not our “Goal” but it will occur. (When athletes are used to our program “conditioning” drills in practice won’t be necessary.)

8. Shock, rest and recovery. DO NOT OVER TRAIN & HAVE FUN! Train for 15 to 20 minutes a day for 3 days a week. REST as long as necessary to do our drills correctly! (Rest the feet and legs when working in our shoes by placing the heels on a 2 x 4 or 2” high curb.) If you are not doing a drill correctly work on it until you get it right. Do NOT go to the next drill.

9. Coach Doug Merchant says, “It is much easier to teach an athlete with playing skills to run fast than it is to teach playing skills to a fast athlete”.

10. What makes the Achilles Speed shoes and program superior to other speed training methods? It can be done in 15 minutes VS an hour. It does not require super dedicated athletes. It stretches and strengthens ALL muscles ligaments and tendons at the same time with corrected form in a true down hill “running motion”.
