Stuart McMillan coaches speed. Not through gimmicks, but deep mastery.
With 70+ Olympians and over 30 medals to his name, he’s uncovered a powerful paradox: true performance lies in balancing ferocity with fluidity.
Yes, he trains sprinters, but what he teaches applies to all of us.
From playgrounds to podiums, Stuart (@fingermash) makes a compelling case for rethinking how we move and what our bodies are truly capable of.
This one’s about movement, but it’s really about freedom.
Note: For those inspired to try sprinting safely, Stuart offers a free resource at ALTIS.world (@altis).
Now available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and everywhere you enjoy the podcast. Click the link in bio for more.
Episode 910.

SKIPPING (w/HIGH KNEES) LETS YOU MOVE BETTER & FASTER & CAN IMPROVE YOUR DEFAULT POSTURE •
-
My guest on the Huberman Lab podcast out now is @fingermash (Stu McMillan) - one of the world’s best track and field coaches. He explains how anyone can and should incorporate skipping into their weekly workouts. We’re not talking about childlike side to side skipping, we’re talking about high knees, arms swinging up, eyes up, tall posture.
-
That pattern mimics sprinting in very interesting ways, allows for hip extension, or “knee behind center of mass” which are movement patterns that we tend to do less and less as we get older. Skipping is considered one of the best and safest plyometrics.
-
Here we are discussing Stu‘s somewhat unusual skipping routine. I started adding skips at the end of my “fast” run 1X weekly and already the results have been incredible. It’s translated to better default posture, improved strength on leg day, and frankly, it just feels really good.
-
To learn more about how to do this properly, check out the episode, which is out on all platforms and we also have a video of one of these workouts on the “Huberman Lab clips” channel on YouTube.
-
The episode also discusses how your foot should strike the ground when you run, the YouTube clips shows some really valuable mobility drills, etc.
-
Stu is a wealth of knowledge and he’s trained dozens upon dozens of male and female Olympians, but he’s also extremely clear at explaining things to the non-competitive athlete seeking to gain more fitness.

-
My guest on the Huberman Lab podcast out today is Stuart McMillan, @fingermash a renowned track and field coach who has trained dozens of Olympic medalists, professional athletes, and team coaches across a diverse range of sports.
-
We discuss how to use plyometrics to improve mobility, strength, posture, and overall health.
-
We emphasize the enormous benefits of skipping—a form of plyometrics—for joint health, aerobic conditioning, and coordination, as well as its advantages for people of all ages and fitness levels.
-
We also explore the expressive nature of human movement, highlighting how certain movements reveal and can evolve one’s unique personality and abilities.
-
Stu explains how resistance training, skipping, and striding can improve movement efficiency in all aspects of life.
-
Anyone who exercises, as well as serious athletes, will benefit immensely from Stu McMillan’s knowledge of human mechanics and the practical tools he generously shares in this discussion.

Eudēmonia Summit Review: Post 1
— some really BAD movers! 😬
At the @eudemoniasummit, I gave a couple of sessions on sprinting [and skipping of course, big thanks to @hubermanlab 🤪], and the more of this I do, the more I see the similarities between working with members of the general population and working with elite athletes.
Except in one significant way.
For the most part, elite sport has an inherent respect for quality.
Between competitors, the forces and velocities are often pretty similar, so HOW they move tends to be what separates them.
Most of us regular folk just count: more weight on the bar, longer runs, faster runs. Less body weight, more body weight, etc …
All of that’s important, and it drives much of adaptation, but the “fittest” people often grind without thinking about HOW they grind. Grinding tends to work when we’re young and mostly training to look better, right?
But as we age, moving well and feeling good matter more, which means moving with quality, not just quantity
More to come …

The best coaches don’t control their athletes.
They build environments the athlete can self-organize into.
This Wednesday, Stu McMillan unpacks what that actually means on UNRACKED 🎙️
Stu is the CEO and Sprints Coach at ALTIS and has coached 70+ Olympians across nine Olympic Games. He’s breaking down where science ends and art begins, what to do when data and intuition disagree, why movement variability is functional rather than noise, and how to build the environment athletes can grow in.

It’s imperative to understand the “Why” behind what you do. Being able to decipher quality information is a skill that needs constant refinement. Begin to self audit your program, or better yet, utilize a community to be able to challenge your methodology 🤝
While this can feel uncomfortable at first, this is an incredible way to promote growth within your process. USR prides ourselves on delivering the most supported & practical education possible.

When I got it wrong
A lot of you found me through the @hubermanlab podcast, which was the biggest audience I’ve ever spoken to. I went three hours without crediting a single person who taught me or even influenced what I was talking about [other than @kenclarkspeed 😆].
Dan, Kevin, Andreas, Les, Danny, Matt and Rob have shaped so much of what I said that day, and none of them got a mention. When My buddy JB called me on it, I told him the questions just didn’t go there.
He told me that was my job, not the interviewer’s.
He was right, and I’ve been trying to do better since.
Have a listen.

Four days of wellness sounds like a lot.
Then Sunday comes and nobody wants to leave.
One last round of movement. Then Kelly Slater. Who’s staying for the finale? 👇

CREDIT WHERE IT’S DUE.
I’m continually surprised by how often people share research, models, and ideas without acknowledging the people responsible for them.
Giving credit costs nothing. It recognizes the work of others, gives your audience a chance to explore the original source, and builds trust in your own work.
We all build on ideas that came before us. Acknowledging those influences should be standard practice.
Coaching is a relatively small community. We can do a much better job of recognizing, respecting, and celebrating the contributions of others.

Injuries happen in milliseconds. Strength alone isn’t enough. ⚡
ACL injuries can end careers, and reinjury risk, especially to the other knee, is still too high. So how do we measure and train braking capacity in athletes like skiers?
Reflexive eccentrics are one answer. 👇
Swipe to see:
✅ The 3 big problems we’re solving
✅ What reflexive eccentrics are
✅ Why they matter beyond size and strength
As @fingermash puts it: “We move from just getting strong to mastering movement quality.”
Our full Reflexive Eccentrics presentation is now online and free. It includes protocols, diagnostics and training progressions for coaches, therapists and sport scientists.
👉 Download it at jordanstrength.com (link in bio)
Save this for later and send it to a coach or therapist who’d find it useful. 🔁
