Beau Chavez, performance coach who built the Uberzati protocols to teach neural and mechanical speed, and Tim Stockton, aerospace engineer who automated the Z‑Tread for precise treadmill training. They dig into training the brain for faster movement, safe overspeed via incline, brief six‑second sprints, kinesthetic feedback and ECM remodeling, plus practical warmups, testing and programming for transferable speed.

ANECDOTE

Alaska Garage To Speed System

  • Beau Chavez discovered high-performance treadmills while training hockey players in Alaska and used John Furpeir's mentorship to transform his own athleticism.
  • That experience led to Acceleration Alaska, then Bo Chavez Performance, and ultimately Uberzati after two years of codifying the methods into a manual.
ADVICE

Preserve Frequency With Six To Eight Second Runs

  • Train short maximal efforts (6–8 seconds) to preserve stride frequency and length and avoid turning speed work into conditioning.
  • Use incline and controlled speed on a treadmill so athletes either hit the target or the coach adjusts speed instead of letting mechanics and frequency decay.
INSIGHT

Brain Is The Speed Governor

  • The brain acts as a safety governor that limits physical performance until it believes a new level is safe.
  • Uberzati trains the brain (via repeated, precise overspeed exposures) to raise that governor, unlocking existing physical capacity.
