The Fast Lane w/ Christ Korfist & Dr. Ken Clark: Unlocking Sprint Speed

In this episode of The Fast Lane, Chris Korfist sits down with sprint biomechanics expert Dr. Ken Clark to break down the science of sprint speed and what truly drives improvements in athletic performance. Dr. Clark explains the three key qualities that underpin sprint performance, why basic sprinting and plyometrics remain essential tools, and how concepts like angular velocity, stiffness, and hip torque influence running speed. The conversation also challenges common misconceptions in speed training and highlights research that has shaped modern sprint mechanics and performance development. If you work with athletes who need to move faster—whether in basketball, football, track & field, or other field sports—this episode provides clear takeaways on how to prioritize training for speed. Connect with Dr. Ken Clark Twitter/Instagram @KenClarkSpeed
