What is speed? And how do we develop and improve speed?

Speed can be defined as the ability to get from point A to B as quickly as possible, but if speed were that simple I guess I would not be writing this book, my definition of speed is more holistic, it is based on fitness and the ability of the athlete to maintain his speed, in other words, the one that decelerates the least in the process. I believe that straight line top speed can be increased by an average 15%, there are however a number of considerations, like running technique, the ability to marry frequency and range, primarily these considerations are based on three factors, Strength, Agility and Speed in short S.A.S®
