Why athletes plateau Speed isn't about effort. It's about technique. Most athletes train hard but never get faster. The difference isn't how much you do — it's whether anyone has ever shown you how to run.
Without coaching
  • Generic training that doesn't target speed mechanics
  • Inefficient sprint technique that caps your top speed
  • No structured progression — just repeating the same sessions
  • Guessing what to work on and when
  • Hitting a ceiling and staying there
With Edinburgh Sprint Coach
  • Technique-first coaching targeting the mechanics holding you back
  • Drills and cues used by GB sprinters, applied to your movement
  • A structured plan that builds session by session
  • Real-time feedback from coaches who've competed at the top
  • Measurable improvements you can time and track
