Top 20 Online Speed Coaches

[RB34]

Based on that list. Id have jimson first.

Whats your reason?

Can't believe CF is 4....

There are countless ways to sort a list like this. For example, using SEOmoz domain authority (which is largely determined by the number of high-ranking sites that point to a site), the top two sites are:

1. http://coaching.uka.org.uk/ with a DA of 70 and 2.2 millions links from 2,200 root domains.

2. http://www.brianmac.co.uk/index.htm with a DA of 64 and 300K links from 2,500 root domains.

CF has a DA of 36 with links from 208 root domains. Note that DA is logarithmic, so that a DA of 40 is considerably higher than a DA of 30. Google has a DA of 100, and a DA of 70 is quite high. Of course, a site with a DA of 70 does not mean it has better information that a site with DA of 36, but it does have considerably more influence on what people view when browsing.

While not an online speed site per se, I think it's interesting that www.exrx.net edges out all of these with a DA of 71 and links from 4,500 root domains.

I frequent the site. Does his research. Is still an track athlete. Has worked with Derek any a few occasions. Alot of his info is based on charlie's teachings. One of the best track blogs out imo.

What are you talking about.. The post came from a blog....

[T-Slow]

I have Latif's stuff. It's a mishmash of things he took from CF, Pfaff, etc. It's not that organized, and geared squarely at the high school coaches whose idea of "speed training" is run the straight and jog the turn. It's more of a library of training tools amassed from others.

Yes, of course. Some were miffed that CF ranked 4th on this list and I'm merely stating the obvious: there are many ways to sort a list. I gave an example of one more.

I'm baffled how anybody who frequents, Mike Boyle's, Bret Contreas, Jimson Lee Charlie Francis & Derrick Hansens sites could think that the former 2 could even be considered "speed training" websites.

Boyle's sell is functional training and Contreas is research reviews & Glute exercises.

I haven't been to about 8 of the sites but of the ones I have frequented I'd have to say do to ease of access of info, speedendurance is 1 and CF is 2.

I think Tom crick is a strange one to have, are we talking about the person arranging and running the site... Or the person who is coaching?

Though I do believe the uka coach site is excellent and with the new coaching materiel for learning is second to none!

Soon as they add a forum..... It's over! For everywhere else

I have experience with Latif Thomas, as I have his Complete Speed Part 1 5DVD set, and also one of his other release 'how to make the perfect 100m runner from start to finish' with Marc Mangiacotti and honestly both are very good, a wealth of good information.

I have experience with Latif Thomas, as I have his Complete Speed Part 1 5DVD set, ...

What are your thoughts on Latif's webinar, "Stop Teaching Speed Drills"?
