Re: Speed - running
How old are you mate? If you're working as a postie and talking in terms of wanting to run faster between the stumps I reckon you might be knocking on a bit - hence running don't come easy. Then if this is true you probably drink so you're probably over your BMI? What's the story?

Re: Speed - running
That's a ladder.
I think the exercise storm is talking about is running in between the gaps of the ladder as fast as you can.

Re: Speed - running
Ladders are great for agility; I would not necessarily use them for speed.
More often than not, lack of speed is usually down to running mechanics and this can be corrected extremely quickly but I would need to see a video of your running [side and front on] first. Working on your speed will get you nowhere if your mechanics are poor
If you're up for it, these guys are mental but I highly recommend it:

Actually, I recommend it for all cricketers; there is so much here, including the rotator cuffs
Alternatively, you could ask your round to release the dogs when you're on duty

Re: Speed - running
He should be able to introduce some form on interval training into his working day. Fast walks/jogs/sprints etc between houses. Of course it'll depend on the weight of the post bag but could be an option.

Re: Speed - running
I guess a good start would be to look at the kind of training that sprinters use? Though you may not be naturally quick Im sure you can improve on what you do have.

Re: Speed - running
Sort of... more what happens after.
This is a really big subject so bear with me.
As you start off [as sprinters rise] you must thrust your lead arm up [left arm for right handers].
You need to then ensure triple extension, [ankle, knee, hip] on the drive leg [left again for right handers].
At this point you should be 45 degrees to the ground and you should be able to draw a straight line from your head through your hip down to your back heel.
Once launched, keep as upright as possible and lift your feet high [over the opposite knee], thrust down with the heel and keep the stride long.
