• DS Performance training programmes are designed to run alongside a skill/sport specific based training plan. Our programmes provide sessions for 3 days of training a week, to alternate between your skill/sport specific training sessions. We have selected five of the most important physical performance variables/attributes for each of the sports that are essential in developing your performance.

• Along with your training program this book contains a supporting guide to mobility training. This guide uses myofascial release, static stretching and activation work to mobilise the major body parts used in training.

Your running mechanics are vital to your performance and its long term development. The fastest runners are all very good technically and this is why we have provided a range of programs to develop your mechanics.

The running mechanics programs are designed to develop your skills as a runner, and all the physical movement patterns required for strong mechanics. Strong development in your mechanics will bring an increase in efficiency to your technique, which will then give you a longer stride length and reduce the risk of any over use injury.

The running mechanics programs are perfect for runners of all ages and abilities. The programs can be used throughout your training calendar, the continuing ongoing development of your running technique should be focused on weekly in every running session.
