Overspeed training is a fantastic technique to increase speed. The Blazer Duo Overspeed Harness uses a 20' safety-sleeve elastic that stretches to three times its length (to 60') — with the waist-belt end hooked to another runner or an anchored object, it pulls you faster than your top running speed, and doubles for drills like leap-frog jumping. Adjustable harness fits Small–XXL.

Safety Sleeve Elastic (patent pending) protects your athlete and yourself. Limits maximum safe stretch distance. If the elastic breaks, it coils inside the sleeve to prevent injury, and the sleeve itself protects the elastic from road/track wear and UV exposure.

• UPS shippable, 3 lbs
• Weight: 4 lbs
• Dimensions: 13 × 10 × 4 in

Coach's tip: pair this with Blazer's other speed-development tools — Dual Pull, Leap Frog, and the Bullet Belt line — for a full resisted/assisted-running station.

The Blazer Quick Explode Sled with Harness is a resistance training tool built to develop the raw power and explosive acceleration sprinters, jumpers, and multi-sport athletes need out of the blocks. Athletes tow the sled against adjustable plate resistance while wearing the harness, driving the ground hard on every step to build starting strength and drive-phase mechanics. It's a coach's staple for turning weight-room strength into on-track speed.

• Heavy galvanized steel sled built to take repeated hard training
• Fits standard or Olympic plates for adjustable resistance (weights not included)
• Includes a 10' strap with quick release and an adjustable resistance harness (fits small to XXL)
• Builds explosive acceleration and drive-phase power for all sports
• UPS shippable; approximately 38 lbs

Coach's tip: start with lighter plate loads to protect sprint mechanics, then add resistance as athletes master a strong forward lean and powerful arm drive. Use the quick release for on-command starts, and store the sled and harness indoors and dry to prevent rust and webbing wear.

Get a complete speed and agility setup in one box with the Blazer Speed Training Kit. This all-in-one kit bundles mini hurdles, an agility ladder, a speed chute, and cones — everything a coach needs to run a full speed, footwork, and acceleration circuit for athletes in any sport, right out of the bag.

Key features & specs:

• 9 mini hurdles (three each of 6", 9", and 12" heights)
• 20' base agility ladder
• 48" speed chute for resistance sprints
• 8 pro cones (9" high) and 8 marker cones (2" high)
• Carrying bag included (19 lbs)

A versatile, ready-to-go training package for coaches building speed and agility across any sport. Set up the ladder, hurdles, and cones for a footwork circuit, then finish with resistance sprints using the chute. Pack everything back into the included bag after practice and store it dry so the full kit is always ready for the next session.

Build breakaway speed and power with the Blazer Windracer Parachute Resistance Trainer. Strapped around the athlete's waist, the chute creates drag that develops strength, speed, endurance, and running form — and a quick-release Velcro belt lets the athlete drop the chute mid-run to explode forward and boost stride frequency.

Key features & specs:

• Improves strength, speed, endurance, and running form
• Velcro belt releases the chute quickly for an explosive breakaway
• 60" diameter chute delivers about 30 lbs of resistance
• Train running straight ahead, sideways, and backward
• Lightweight and packable for any training bag

A versatile, affordable speed tool for sprinters, skill-position athletes, and any program building acceleration. Strap the belt securely around the athlete's waist, let the chute fill on the run, and use the quick release for breakaway reps. Let the chute dry after wet sessions, and pack it back into your training bag so it's ready for the next workout.

Add versatile footwork and agility training to your program with the Blazer Speed Rings — Set of 12. These flat rings lay out quickly for high-knee, in-and-out, and quick-feet drills, and included Velcro straps let you connect them into ladders and custom patterns — a simple, portable tool that adapts to any speed workout.

Key features & specs:

• Set of 12 flat speed rings
• Velcro straps included to connect rings into ladders or patterns
• 14" inside diameter for footwork drills
• Carrying bag included
• Lightweight and portable at 3 lbs

A budget-friendly, adaptable training aid for coaches developing quickness and coordination across any sport. Lay the rings flat in your chosen pattern, connect them with the Velcro straps as needed, and run athletes through footwork drills. Collect them into the included bag after use and store it dry so the set is always ready for the next practice.

The PowerMax Stride Checker lays out along the running surface to give athletes and coaches a precise, repeatable reference for improving stride length and frequency. Segmented markings every 70" let athletes target consistent stride patterns and let coaches measure progress objectively over a full 30-meter (98-foot) run. It works on most surfaces and packs into the included storage bag between sessions.

Key features & specs:

• Improves stride length and frequency
• 30m / 98' long with segmented markings every 70"
• Usable on most surfaces
• Provides an objective reference for measuring progress
• Includes a storage bag

Coach's tip: Use the markings as targets for controlled stride drills, then track how an athlete's pattern changes over a training block. Anchor it on turf if it shifts, and roll it up into the bag to keep it flat and tangle-free for the next session. Because it works on most surfaces, you can run the same measured drills indoors in winter and outdoors in season.

The PowerMax Dynamic Trainer keeps resistance centered around the hips or torso so athletes can train explosive, multi-directional movement without a fixed anchor getting in the way. The elastic tube stretches to cover a wide training range, letting athletes work acceleration, change of direction, and sport-specific bursts with a partner providing controlled resistance and release.

Key features & specs:

• Keeps resistance around the hips or torso
• 10' elastic tube covered with protective nylon webbing
• Stretches up to 30' for a wide training range
• Supports acceleration and change-of-direction work
• Durable build for repeated program use

Coach's tip: Keep tension controlled so athletes stay balanced through cuts and bursts, and let the tube recoil gradually rather than snapping back. Inspect the webbing and tube for wear before each session, and store it loosely coiled and out of direct sun to protect the elastic. Its wide stretch range makes it useful for everything from acceleration work to lateral and rotational sport drills.

The PowerMax Flyweight Speed Sled is the ideal tool for adding light, incremental resistance to sprint work without overloading an athlete's mechanics. Weighing less than 7 pounds, it delivers just enough drag to train the drive phase and turnover while keeping stride patterns clean, making it perfect for daily speed sessions across track and multi-sport programs. Everything you need to train is included in the box.

Key features & specs:

• Adds light, incremental sprint resistance
• Weighs less than 7 lbs for easy handling and storage
• Includes waist belt, nylon leads, and carabiners
• Keeps sprint mechanics clean under light load
• Ideal for daily speed development

Coach's tip: Use the Flyweight for high-quality, short sprint reps where maintaining form matters more than maximum drag. Clip and unclip the carabiners carefully to avoid bending them, and store the sled and leads dry to keep the hardware corrosion-free. Because it is so light, it also travels well for road meets and works on grass, turf, or track without fuss.

The PowerMax Push/Pull Sled is a rugged, versatile training sled built in the USA for speed, power, and conditioning work. An 11-gauge steel frame handles heavy loads, while a space-saving fold-flat design and replaceable runners make it practical for any facility and surface. Adjustable push posts and multiple push/pull options let one sled cover a wide range of drills, from driving sprints to loaded strength work.

Key features & specs:

• USA-made 11-gauge steel frame; less than 7" high when folded
• Replaceable/removable runners for different surfaces; quick-release pins
• Adjustable push posts (12-21"W x 32"H) with multiple push/pull options
• Empty sled weighs 45 lb (body 25 lb, center post 4 lb, push posts 8 lb each)
• Holds up to 360 lb; center post fits four 45 lb bumper or eight steel 45 lb plates
• Includes shoulder harness and leads

Coach's tip: Match the runners to your surface and start light to keep mechanics sharp before loading up. Fold it flat for storage, and wipe the frame and runners down and store dry to protect the steel from corrosion.

The PowerMax Sprint Start Sled adds towing resistance right out of the blocks, training the powerful, low drive phase that sets up a fast sprint. Its unique design clears virtually all starting blocks so athletes can explode into the sled without interference, and Olympic-style weight plates can be added to dial resistance up or down. Developed by Colorado State University sprint coach Tim Cawley, it targets the exact moment where races are often won or lost.

Key features & specs:

• Adds resistance to the start and acceleration out of the blocks
• Design clears virtually all starting blocks
• Accepts Olympic-style weight plates to increase resistance
• Developed by CSU sprint coach Tim Cawley
• Includes sled, 11' leads, and a 3" hook-and-loop belt adjustable to 42" waist

Coach's tip: Start with light resistance so athletes keep a strong, progressive drive angle rather than popping upright. Run short reps out of the blocks with full recovery, and store the sled and weights dry to protect the finish and hardware.

The PowerMax Dual Resistance Tether is a two-athlete resisted-running trainer that lets a pair work at once, either training against each other or sharing a coach-managed setup. Resisted sprinting builds the drive-phase strength and acceleration mechanics that translate directly to faster times, and the dual configuration keeps more athletes moving through a session, an efficient way to train speed in a team setting.

Key features & specs:

• Dual configuration for resisted running with two athletes
• Builds acceleration mechanics and drive-phase strength
• Keeps more athletes active per training block
• Durable construction for daily program use
• Ideal for sprinters and multi-sport speed development

Coach's tip: Keep resistance light enough that sprint mechanics stay clean, and run short, maximal reps with full recovery between them. Inspect the cords and closures before every session, and store the tether clean and dry so the fasteners keep their grip. Pairing athletes of similar ability keeps the resistance balanced and the reps productive for both.

The PowerMax Hip Flexor trainer helps athletes develop the hip flexor strength and flexibility that underpin sprint mechanics, jumping, and overall lower-body power. Strong, mobile hip flexors drive knee lift and stride length, making this a valuable tool for track and field athletes, football players, and multi-sport athletes who want a longer, more powerful stride. It integrates easily into warm-up and strength routines at the high school level.

Key features & specs:

• Develops hip flexor strength and flexibility
• Targets a key driver of sprint and jump mechanics
• Suited to track, football, and multi-sport athletes
• Integrates into warm-up and strength training routines
• Built for regular use in school athletic programs

Coach's tip: Work the hip flexors through a full, controlled range of motion in warm-ups rather than rushing reps. Introduce it gradually so athletes build strength without strain, and wipe it down and store it dry between sessions to keep it in top condition.

The PowerMax Resistance Tether improves speed through resisted running, loading the athlete's drive phase so they build the strength and mechanics that translate to a faster stride. A partner provides resistance through the 10-foot nylon cord and handle while the athlete sprints, and the whole system packs into the included carry bag for easy transport to the track or field.

Key features & specs:

• Resisted-running trainer to develop speed and power
• Harness attaches to a 10' nylon web cord with handle
• 3" wide hook-and-loop closure belt adjustable to a 42" waist
• Includes nylon cord and carry bag
• Ideal for sprint and multi-sport acceleration work

Coach's tip: Keep resistance light enough that mechanics stay clean, running short, high-effort reps with full recovery. Inspect the cord and belt closure before each session, and store the tether in its bag, clean and dry, so the fastener keeps its grip. Have the partner apply steady, even resistance rather than jerking the cord so the athlete can hold a clean drive angle.

The PowerMax Bullet Belt Pop Belt is the foundational release in the Bullet Belt Series, a simple, rugged tool for training explosive, sport-specific movements. The athlete works against resistance and then "pops" free at the moment of release, transferring built-up force into an explosive burst, ideal for developing the first-step quickness and acceleration that pay off across track, football, and court sports.

Key features & specs:

• Basic "Pop" release design in the Bullet Belt Series
• Trains explosive, sport-specific skills
• Resisted-to-free release for contrast work
• Simple, durable construction for daily program use
• Works for sprinters and multi-sport athletes

Coach's tip: Cue athletes to drive hard and stay low through the release for the biggest carryover to their start. Keep reps short and explosive, check the release closure for wear before sessions, and store the belt clean and dry to protect the fastener. A short set of explosive reps a couple of times a week is plenty to see carryover to an athlete's start and first steps.
