240 lbs hitting someone at 23 MPH?

Can you say hospital visit for the unlucky fool that steps in front of him?

Hee hee! Imagine how focused and intense you have to get your mind as a defender contemplating taking that on!

And then this happens . . .

If we stay healthy, we are talking about a 3,500 yards season on the ground folks. I'm going to savor every second of this year and suggest everyone do the same.

better not watch them in the weight room then....because there's no easy way to hop out from under 400-600 lbs of dead weight on the Olympic bar....

Explosive speed and Power to be ELITE in the SEC do not come without some risks involved in strength and conditioning training. It's just that simple.

We ALL want our guys to be big, strong, and fast---and we want to see Hurd run over and through would-be tacklers like they were nothing but sacks of 'taters--as well as run away from them in the open field. This is just a small sampling of what it takes to get that done.

Walter Payton used to sprint up long hills. Dick Butkus used to push and pull cars around the parking lot in a harness. Guys today also wear harnesses and pull tractor tires around on the grass. ALL methods have risks involved.

But we can't stomach watching what it takes in training to accomplish all of that. Well--now you know just a very small part of what it takes--and it makes a bunch of Volnation posters nervous.....go figure...:salute:

Those worried about injury need to understand, this is the safest, surest way to train for additional speed. The previous poster is correct, they are training muscle memory. It's done by high level athletes the world over. This is a method widely used by world class sprinters. I think the most impressive thing is that JH is actively addressing what has been his biggest deficiency as a back, break away speed. Each step on that treadmill adds to his guaranteed NFL money. I believe JH is our next Peyton...the guy we as a fan base point to as the greatest of his generation. He has a very special set of physical attributes and skills, and could have a legendary career.

Seems to me an explosion or power drill. Hes trying to get from 0-60 as fast as possible. This would be a benefit at the snap in football. The goal for a RB is to hit the hole ASAP.

did not know that, thanks for dropping the knowledge.

Treadmills at my gym won't even go over 12 mph. Why does this setting even exist? Seems like a huge liability for the manufacturer (and Tenn).

Worries me. Not gonna lie I tried turning it up once. Got ugly quick. Feet flew out from under me and it flipped me off and in to a wall. Had some bad burns but it did make for a good laugh for everyone.

How is it safer than running on turf?

Yea, this better than the old way of pushing the athlete out of a moving van with a rope tied around his waist. Needless to say that method did not last long.

I did a little math. Hitting 23 miles per hour equates to 11.24 yards per second.

Ball at the 35 yard line. Can he reach the endzone in 5 seconds?

Yes. Many people can. Many people can run 40 yards in under 5 seconds. I can do 40 in under 5. So yes. Jalen could easily.

He is talking about 65 yards in 5 seconds. (5 x 11.24= 56.2 yards actually).

This is a training method. Not actually running 0-24mph immediately. It does not mean that one can even run 24 mph on his own, but not just anyone can jump on a moving treadmill at 23.1 mph without falling down. This will make him faster. It is scary though. It's dangerous. I wouldn't do it at any speed, but I'm old. I have to be still a minute after standing up in order to just start walking.

That's certainly more motivating.

Maybe I shouldn't have said safest....obviously there is some risk, even when being monitored and assisted like Jalen is. However running on turf won't force the additional speed the way a moving treadmill will. There is a ceiling the treadmill is able to push an athlete through. The previous poster is right, he won't necessarily be able to run 23mph, but his body will be trained to accelerate quicker, and ultimately stretch his top speed by this repetition.

This technique is used to increase your speed. Hes training his feet to run faster. He's been building up to that speed gradually. You can't do that running on turf or regular ground.

If he doesn't watch his speed he might end up traveling in time ..

10 dollars to anyone who knows where that reference is from
