Multi-directional speed training programmes, like all our other programmes, works on the premise that speed is a skill; and just like any other skill it can be taught, it can be developed, and it can be improved through a systematic and progressive training approach.
We have worked with hundreds of players from academies in a variety of different sports, helping their players to improve their speed, exposiveness and turning ability. We also work with professional athletes from many teams in the Premiership in football and rugby as well as many other sports.
There are four elements of multi-directional running speed training:
- Quickness
- Active Speed
- Reactive Speed
- Complex Speed
Multi-directional speed training programmes develops quickness and explosiveness; quick feet, good coordination, and the ability to rapidly change direction.
We improve your reactive and active speed, your footwork and how to accelerate and decelerate instantaneously to get away from your opponent and get to the ball first! This speed training methodology has been tried, tested and proven at all levels of the game.
The combination of the Multi-directional speed training programme and the sport specific exercises are the best way for any athlete to get fast and stay fast.

Sport Specific Training
Every Sport is different and we have developed specific training protocols for developing Speed, Acceleration and Quickness programmes for sprinters, middle and long distance runners, footballers, rugby players and other multi-directional sports.
The training Programmes are age specific, so youngsters would not be training at the same intensity as adults, and ability and fitness specific, so based on fitness level.
Dynamic Movement Skills
DMS is a methodology of The Running School which forms a central part of our Multi-Directional Speed Training programme. It allows us to monitor and progress athletes as well as giving them work to do in between sessions at The Running School.
