The push press is how it bridges strength and speed. By using the legs to initiate movement, then transferring that force through the core into the arms, the lift mimics the way athletes generate power in almost every sport—whether sprinting, jumping, or throwing. This makes it an exceptional tool for improving rate of force development.

Success is about making sure that everything in your training—your runs, your strength work, your mobility, your recovery—serves a clear and specific purpose.

For many masters swimmers, the first response to a plateau is simple: swim more. Another lap, another set, another long session in the pool. But just as in running, piling on extra distance isn’t always the answer. In fact, the fastest path to becoming a stronger, more efficient swimmer often lies outside the pool

Speed is a ruthless teacher. You either get faster or get left behind—and often, it’s not for lack of hard work, but because of avoidable mistakes that sabotage your progress. Here are five common mistakes that mean you're running with the handbrake on.

You train hard. You fuel well. But sometimes, your sprints still feel flat. The reason might not be your muscles—it could be your nervous system. Neural fatigue, specifically central nervous system (CNS) fatigue, directly affects how powerfully and precisely your body moves. In this article, we break down what neural fatigue really is, how to spot it, and how to train smarter around it so your sprint sessions stay sharp, fast, and effective.

Stair runs and jumps combine strength, speed, and conditioning in one efficient package. They challenge the legs, lungs, and mind. For Masters athletes looking to maintain power, protect joints, and stay explosive, stairs are a smart addition to the program.

While aging brings physical challenges, a focused training approach that hones in on specific aspects of force, velocity, and power can go a
