Speed Activities

Speed in running terms is determined by:
Frequency of Stride x Length of Stride
Therefore, to improve a young athlete’s personal best times over specified distances, at least one of
the above must be increased and married technically to the other. Running activities that are known
as speed events in track and field athletics include all individual sprinting distances up to 400 metres,
all relays up to 4 x 400 metres and all hurdle events.
