You can’t go back inside The Matrix (CST2 Last Chance!)
Just a friendly reminder that today is the last day you can get Complete Speed Training 2 at the launch price. At the stroke of midnight, the price will go up almost 50%.
I won’t give you a long song and dance because, by now, you know whether or not you’re going to get the program.
But I will say this:
It’s no surprise that the majority of people who invested in CST2 are also owners of CST1.
Why is that?
Because you can’t go back inside The Matrix.
Once you discover the Truth about how to develop faster athletes, going back to the way you’ve always done it just doesn’t make sense anymore.
The results people have gotten with CST1 make getting CST2 a no brainer. And the volume of sales from my CST1 friends make that fact very clear.
Complete Speed Training Volume 2: How to Build Champion Sprinters
What you do next is up to you. I understand you may not be convinced. I’m reminded of the scene in The Matrix when Neo goes to see The Oracle and sees the boy who appears to be bending a spoon with his mind.
There is no spoon!
Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That’s impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you’ll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself…

There is NO spoon! No you did not go there! That is only my favorite quote from the whole movie. For that alone, my husband has agreed to order CST2.

Latif, I have a question about the end of the year training, about when to peak an athlete. in our league we have three weeks of post season. A qualifier, districts and state, if an athlete is not ranked number one, or will easily make it to state, do you peak for districts or state? If you peak for districts then the runner might be on the down end (not peaking any more) at state, if you peak at state then they might not make it to state! I’m at a lost! Any advice?

Coach Medina – Great, great question. If you run a good program for the previous several months of the season, your sprinters should be able to hold their peak for 7-21 days. But generally I think kids can hold a peak for 2 weeks. That means 3 meets. So it’s not a one meet, one week, one shot deal.
That said, and using your example, you can’t hold out on peaking a kid with the hopes they’ll move on. You’ve got to try to get them to run fast when it matters. And if that means they run a PR at districts to move on to state and then they run out of gas, that’s a lot better than rolling the dice at districts and having their season end.
So, I think you can do both. But your focus has to be on districts.

Hey coach, this is my first post, probably of many, and I just want to say I really believe in what you are trying to do here, so much so that I just purchased CST2. I think educating coaches and getting them all on the same page is very noble, especially when you could just keep all this knowledge to yourself.
I am USATF Level 1 certified and I have been coaching for three years at the high school level and take it very seriously. Before this I was a sprinter at both the NAIA and Division I levels, and was always a student of the sport. This lead me to question the workouts that I and my teamates were doing, especially when we weren’t running at the level we or our coaches thought we should. Once I went to the Level 1 school I was forever enlightend, or should I say justified, because I had many of the same ideas they were teaching. Its like you say “You can’t go back inside the matrix:)” But to me it was like I was already awake and my coaches were trying to put me back to sleep.
Once I had some real knowledge I looked back at all the coaches I had and realized a lot of them weren’t very knowledgeable about current practices and my performance suffered for it. I don’t want that to happen to the kids I coach or any other talented kid I come across. That being said, most of the coaches I work with are not up to speed on the current knowledge but are steadfast in their outdated approach. Do you have any advice for dealing with these kinds of coaches without calling them stupid or making it seem like I’m Mr. Know-it-all? I know that I don’t have all the answers but if we can get on the same page we will have more successful programs.
I look forward to receiving CST2 and getting all I can from it.
In Speed,
Coach Dot

Latif, I am an athlete and a huge fan. My situation is strange, I am looking to compete in college but my college does not have a team, I plan on coaching myself and finding meets to compete in. My question is does your program cover just a 12 week high school program or does it go more in depth to fall/winter training as well? Also, does it cover any type of weight lifting progression scheme? Thanks a lot

Coach Dot – If you had signed my name to the bottom of that post, I wouldn’t have noticed I didn’t write it. Sounds like we have similar beliefs and experiences. I’m going to put together an article on your question in the near future. It’s an important question, one I get more and more often and one that needs an answer if we’re going to change the culture of how sprinters get trained. Good question, stay tuned and thanks for your support.
DG – It’s based on the 12 week HS season because it has to be based on something. But I don’t walk you through a season in the program, I talk about principles and approaches to training that can be applied in any situation. I don’t break it down by ‘fall’, ‘winter’, etc., but you’ll understand what to do in the fall and winter by going through the program. And if you don’t, just ask questions in the blog and I’ll generally answer anything that doesn’t require me spending 3 hours to answer.
