Youth training Canberra Sprint Coach, January 19, 2025January 19, 2025 Transforming Potential into Performance: Sam’s Journey with FAST Running At FAST Running, we believe that the foundations of great performances are built through dedication, expert coaching, and attention to detail. This philosophy is nowhere more evident than in the remarkable progress of Sam, a young athlete from Gungahlin Little Athletics, whose running style and form have undergone a dramatic transformation over the summer. The Power of Form and Technique Young athletes often possess raw potential, but unlocking it requires refining the mechanics of how they move. Our training program for younger athletes focuses on teaching proper running techniques, emphasizing posture, stride efficiency, and arm mechanics. These improvements not only enhance performance but also reduce the risk of injury, laying the groundwork for long-term success. Sam joined our program with a passion for running and a strong desire to improve. Over the course of the summer, he dedicated himself to learning and implementing changes to his running style. Through personalized coaching sessions, video analysis, and tailored drills, Sam began to understand the intricacies of efficient movement and how small adjustments could make a big impact on his performance. The Results Speak for Themselves The progress Sam has made is nothing short of extraordinary. By focusing on key aspects of his running form, he has gained speed, stamina, and confidence on the track. These changes have not only improved his times but have also given him a new perspective on how he approaches competition. With just a month to go before the Capital Athletics Junior Championships in February, Sam is poised to turn his newfound form into positive results. His dedication and hard work are an inspiration to his peers and a testament to what can be achieved through a focused and supportive training environment. Why FAST Running?

Whether it’s through refining form, building strength, or instilling confidence, we provide young runners with the tools they need to excel.
