How to run faster by sprinting with dynamic focus and mindset is essential to learn if you want to have a real competitive edged.
In this blog post, I’ll give you the tools to improve how to run faster sprinting performance through the mind-body connection. Whether you’re an athlete or just someone who loves staying fit, boosting your sprinting speed can have a huge impact on your overall physical performance.
A while back, I was working on improving my sprinting abilities when I heard about Usain Bolt breaking the world 100-meter record in 9.72 seconds. It was an incredible achievement that showcased remarkable strength and speed, inspiring me to explore how to replicate anything remotely close to that speed. Obviously, there’s more to sprinting than pure physical strength – it’s about tapping into the mind-body connection.
Enhancing your sprinting technique is crucial for increasing speed and efficiency. By refining your running form, you can reduce resistance and improve propulsion, ultimately leading to faster sprinting speeds. Specific drills and exercises aimed at refining sprinting mechanics can make a significant difference in your speed and performance.

But it’s not just about technique – the psychological aspect of sprinting is equally important. Mental preparation and focus play a massive role in achieving peak performance. Using visualization techniques, mental rehearsal, and cognitive strategies can powerfully enhance your mental fortitude and overall mindset, resulting in improved sprinting speed and efficiency.
If you want to be faster at sprinting, imagine embodying the persona of a “Lightning Bolt” and unleashing your full potential. How might embracing this mindset change your physical performance and workout routine?
How might this alter your mindset and influence your physical performance?
Would it prompt a revision of your workout routine?
Under the scrutiny of media attention, would you feel compelled to embody the characteristics associated with the name?
Extensive documentation has proven that by directing your mental focus toward untapped reservoirs of power beyond individual limits, one can achieve extraordinary feats beyond their current scope of imagination.

Unleash Your Sprinting Potential: Run Like a Lightning Bolt to Ignite Your Speed!
If you’re on a quest to shave those precious seconds off your sprint times, here is some inspiration and energizing ideas to ignite and propel both your imagination and body.
Picture this: running as fast as energy in motion, as fast as a lightning bolt, charged with energy and speed. Your friends and the media affectionately dub you “Greased Lightning.”
Now, let’s begin the initial steps to transform this vivid visualization into a magical force that drives your body to achieve performances beyond your wildest expectations.
Ignite Your Imagination and Body with this Transformative Exercise
Let’s break down the first steps to make this visualization magic compel your body to generate above-and-beyond performance you never thought possible.
Step 1: Prepare Your Mind for the Sprinting Journey
Alright, first things first – find yourself a cozy spot where you won’t be interrupted. Think of it as your mental training ground. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let go of the outside noise. This is your time.
As you settle in, envision the track ahead. Feel the anticipation building up, like the calm before a storm. This moment is about you and the challenge you’re gearing up to conquer. Embrace it.
Now, let’s talk about breathing. Inhale confidence, exhale doubt. Feel the tension melting away as you prepare to embark on a mental journey that will supercharge your sprinting abilities. Hear the distant sound of rolling thunder. It’s getting closer… feel the storm rising within you.
Step 2: Crafting the Lightning Bolt in Your Mind
Okay, imagine a lightning bolt crackling across the sky. What colors do you see? How does it move? Channel that vivid image into your mind. This isn’t just any lightning bolt; it’s your personalized symbol of speed and power.
Picture yourself on the track, but instead of just pushing off from the starting blocks with all your muscular force, imagine you are lightning itself personified, and on one of those fierce, loud cracks of lightning, your whole body is ignited with lightning speed, and you’re embodying the essence of that lightning bolt right into your sprint to the finish line. Feel the surge of energy coursing through your veins, propelling you forward with an unstoppable force. It’s not just about speed; it’s about tapping into an electrifying power that resides within you.
Step 3: Lightning Bolt and Sprinting – A Perfect Match
Now, let’s bridge the gap between the lightning bolt in your mind and the mechanics of sprinting. Visualize your legs moving with the same intensity and precision as that lightning bolt tearing through the sky. Swift, focused, and undeniably powerful.
Your legs are no longer physical pistons of muscle but a massive surge of light and fearsome energy.
Imagine each stride carrying the electric charge of the bolt, propelling you forward with a force that defies gravity. Your arms pumping in rhythm, mirroring the graceful yet ferocious movement of the lightning bolt. Connect the dots between the visualization and the physical act of sprinting.
As you embrace this mental imagery, let it seep into your muscle memory. This is where the magic happens – where your mind and body align to create a synergy that’s going to take your sprinting game to the next level.
These are just a few ideas on how to run faster sprinting to help you unleash the lightning bolt within you. Get comfortable, visualize with intent often, and let the power of the storm guide your every stride. Get ready to leave your competitors in the dust – because you’re about to become the lightning on the track! ⚡️🏃♂️
In summary, the mental aspect of viewing yourself as indomitable, like a force of nature such as lightning or a lightning bolt or an entire lightning storm, can be a game-changer for reaching the peak performance in sprinting you desire.
Think of this as merely the starting point for the mental focus and visualization techniques offered in the groundbreaking peak performance protocols of CoreForce Energy. It’s the threshold where advanced techniques merge your mind into a dependable peak performance machine, both mentally and physically.
To Crushing It in Peak Performance and Mastery,
PS. Here’s a great quick video on how to run faster. Revamp your running technique and achieve greater speed by adopting the ‘Z’ technique. If your current approach involves a 3-stroke movement, you might be sacrificing speed on the track or field. Transitioning to a 2-stroke movement, embracing the ‘Z’ formation, and incorporating an active ground strike will undoubtedly generate more force, resulting in a faster and more efficient run.
Everywhere you look there seems to be countless advice on the benefits of having a strong heart. You see controversy everywhere of whether intense cardio workouts or moderate cardio is the better way to achieve and maintain optimal health.
Hundreds of thousands of books are written on the benefits from medical journals to fitness magazines extolling the benefits of putting a powerful cardio routine into your exercise to keep you and your heart healthy and strong.
But few seem to mention the benefits of relaxing the heart quickly from intense beating and training it to have an elastic quality – and elastic resilience.
It’s elasticity of the heart, arteries, and capillaries that will give you super strength, stamina and energy from your youth well into old age.
Many think that just doing quick sprints or intense spurts of bodyweight exercises, super sets of weights, or kettlebells will automatically give them this elasticity. But it doesn’t come automatically for everyone.
You must train your heart to relax quickly from extreme tensions just as you would train your muscles to relax quickly after a quick jab or punch so you have maximum recoil and elasticity.
A quick release to muscular contractions in a punch or kick gives you greater snap, strength, and speed. The same goes for the heart. But intention and purpose must be there for it to happen. It doesn’t always happen by itself.
I train with a heart rate monitor no matter what I do in the gym. I watch it constantly to monitor not only how fast my heart rate goes up but how fast it comes down.
As unusual as it may seem, my aim is not to get my heart rate up to a highest number every time for maximum cardio benefit. When your intention is to get it to a certain number, your body usually responds – and responds faster each time with regular training. Thus you train your body to respond to get to a high number – faster. Your body follows your brains commands – its intentions.
I think it’s much smarter instead to intend on LOWERING the heart rate every time while INCREASING the workload. I don’t always succeed but the point is that I try to increase my speed and resistance, while lowering the heart rate mentally by intending it right from the start instead of setting a goal to get to my “maximum heart rate” as quick a I can and to keep it there.
One of the things I often talk about for power and speed in CoreForce Energy is Relaxed Lightning. The superiority of this kind of thinking in relating it to physical movement was so apparent in this past weekend’s UFC 84 “ill will” showdown here in Las Vegas. Two fighters in particular seemed to move with ease, grace, powerful strength, and what I call Relaxed Lightning. Two words that seem like they don’t go together. Yet, two words when you combine them are like bringing the two parts together to make TNT.
The other two fighters that opposed them fought in the more traditional way using muscular strength. As impressive as that muscular strength and speed was, it was sadly slower than their opponents who were supple, fluid and elusive. When these two Relaxed Lightning fighter struck, they struck like a thunderbolt out of nowhere catching their opponents by surprise almost every time. They were in and out, before the others could react many times even with their Incredible speed.
It seemed as if the two fighters were in two different time zones – two different planes of reality. The fighters who were relaxed fought as if they had all the time in the world and saw ahead of time – in slow motion. They were “elusive” – a word that was used many times throughout these matches.
But, in reality when you’re relaxed and yet are measuring your speed to a higher source of power such as “lightning strikes”, why wouldn’t you be incredibly fast and yet have all the time in the world? When all your force is used in the thunderbolt that only lasts for mere milliseconds instead of guarding, squeezing, and holding a “fighting stance” with muscular tension and then trying to explode with that same muscular tension that’s holding you back, you’re going to be be saving energy and using it only when necessary.
The problem that most people have when they know they’re using too much “muscle”, they try to relax – going too far to the other side where they forget that what controls extreme and fast contraction of muscles is electricity.
In CoreForce Energy, it’s not just the generation of force that makes you strong, but the understanding of how to create relaxation of both body and mind that’s still filled with explosive energy instead of sluggish power from everything being shut off from the relaxation. That’s why I spend so much time teaching the particular distinctions that make them unique.
When your brain holds powerful pictures evoking phrases such as “Relaxed Lightning” or “Sting Like a Bee” as something to measure up to in physical movement, your body ends up moving like the very things that seem impossible to someone else who thinks we can only move like humans.
When you think of yourself and strong, muscular, fast, you will always be slow in comparison to electricity or that quick flash bang of a thunderbolt. That’s why we always need to try to measure up to things outside of ourselves trying to emulate things and attributes much greater and richer in qualities than ourselves. In doing so, we bring ourselves to higher levels.
If you watch the flight replays of B J Penn and Lyoto Machida striking, you will see what I’m talking about in regards to Relaxed Lightning. Their opponents, Sean Sherk and Tito Ortiz respectively, who were indeed in incredible condition and impressively fast always seemed to be slow, late, and most often off target in comparison. Their reach was short and held back with muscular tension. Many will look at Ortiz shaking his hands out as being frustration from the elusive moves of Machida. But if you watch closely, you’ll see that he’s trying to get the cramps out – while Machida dances around him hardly out of breath it seems exuding energy instead of muscular exhaustion.
If you want speed and strength, hold yourself to a higher standard. Think of Relaxed Lightning.
If you want to take this kind of thinking to the next level both mentally and physically, this is where the CoreForce Energy course and the bonus phone calls that comes with it will take you to your power zenith in strength and speed and mental focus.

To increase body strength for power and speed, in CoreForce Energy it’s paramount that you have visceral ways to direct your energy so you know if what you’re doing is empowering or disempowering. One of the first things I teach on the personal bonus calls that come with your purchase are CoreForce Energy’s unique techniques of learning breath power and trajectory.
By learning to hear your breath and having creative and easy-to-learn ways to visualize it, your breath becomes one of the very best ways to translate energy into powerful and efficient movement.
Listening first and then learning to direct the sounds your breath makes as it whistles in and out of both your nose and mouth is one of your best teachers you’ll ever have to understand how your brain and body interprets the most efficient movement that “fits” your body.
Instead of learning to force fit someone else’s optimal movements or techniques into your body through copying body movement by rote, you learn how to assimilate those techniques organically into your own movements by seeing and interpreting them as energy projections and velocity waves instead of purely mechanical procedures.
Also, through learning CoreForce Energy Breath Trajectory and interpreting physical movement as breath energy, those movements fit us more organically and empower us with much more strength very quickly.
By learning to listen and direct your energy through your breath, you start to master your body movement right from the beginning – the body movements that are the most powerful and efficient for YOUR body and not someone else’s.
When you begin seeing your breath as waves of energy with unique and ever changing patterns much like music, you almost automatically begin getting creative in expressing them as velocity curves of power and grace rather than body parts and muscle trying to coordinate their efforts to generate more speed and strength.
When you’re thinking in terms of energy instead of muscle, you’re already faster and engaging only the muscles that are necessary rather than everything and the kitchen sink thinking more is better. In terms of strength and speed, more muscle isn’t always the key. Precision of mind and body is and using only what’s necessary for the action at hand and that’s what give you raw strength.

If you want to achieve your ultimate body strength for more power and speed, you need to work on developing what I call elastic strength.
Elastic strength is really functional strength in a sense and something that will help you with your weight training to combat conditioning exercises to martial arts.
Elastic strength is both flexible and strong at the same time. In many ways, I think it better describes functional strength because strength in real life should flex, recoil, and be super stable and strong whenever you choose within an instant.
Elastic strength can snap either way almost instantly and is closer to an electrical lightning strike than the muscle recruitment connotation that the phrase “functional strength” denotes.
How I like to think of strength being created is that it’s a constant blitzkrieg of lightning strikes that engage the muscles. At the same time, that extreme electrical charge doesn’t freeze up the muscles but makes them flexible and where one movement blends into the next with renewed vigor.
If you were to spend your time in the gym with your eyes closed, you’d hear constipated breathing all around you. Really listen the next time you’re there and almost nothing you hear sounds like fluid powerful breathing when you think about it.
It certainly doesn’t sound like the breath of elastic strength. Unfortunately, it sounds very much like constipated angular breathing where one breath doesn’t flow into the next.
A “grunt” usually starts the lift and then a strong exhale. The breath in to recover is either a gasp or hardly heard.
Then, when you really look and open your eyes, you’ll see most lifting with movements that don’t really flow from one movement to the next as one does in body weight exercises. No wonder why many weight lifters don’t have real functional strength or elastic strength.
In fact, you’ll see a lot of what I call constipated movement which happens when the “Grunt”(muscle head) flexes many muscles in short heaving motions that are static and short. Shorter than they should be because too many muscles are recruited for the actual movement they’re doing.
Tension creates shortness of movement and quick constipated breathing that doesn’t move. In turn, this creates constipated cramped movements – hence little elastic functional strength.
You are what you practice. So, if you’re going to lift weights with grunts, constipated breathing, and static movements, you’re fighting against yourself to achieve your fluid optimal strength.
Instead of thinking how your muscles are going to lift a weight, think about how much elastic energy it’ll take to complete your reps. When you REALLY know how to create a firestorm of electrical synapses to your muscles, those muscles with respond with powerful contractions.
When your brain comprehends that your strength should contain elastic strength, then a flight plan for fluid movement has already automatically been predetermined and you’ll have energy to burn, breath to spare, while achieving fluid and powerful functional strength – Elastic Strength.
