I think that if you pray to the Lord sincerely is the best! All great athlets do it. All people must do it. Evertithing start with Lord!

I appreciate your knowledge. This information helped me. Charges my motivation to move forward. Keep my drive going. Thank you!

Sprinting in a relaxed fashion is the most difficult thing to achieve. I have been sprinting a long time now, but its still difficult to this day. But thanks for the valuable information.

To be relaxexdis an old expression since when trainers of last century were not able to describe the exact pattern of motions involved in sprinting . another example is the lack of knowledge about how to increase the speed using wejghts..

Wtf this is insane! 😳 Why have no one ever told me this before..

Awesome. Thank you 💪🏾

Thank you for this video.

I know this isn’t directly related to this video but I’m wondering if I can get some wisdom regarding my personal experience with my training since you are one of the few to go deep in the mental aspect of sprinting. I’m very new and a novice (current 100m PB of only 13.61) and have been diving incredibly deep into every I can find relating to sprinting. My unusual situation is that it seems my brain is wonky if that make sense. In my training when I run with those roughly my level I am completely left in the dust most sessions in short sprints. Both of these individuals have a pb over half a second faster in the 100 but whenever we train in a longer sprint it’s very rare I don’t come out in front. My first 60-100m or so feels awkward and uncomfortable most of the time yet in something like a 200 when I come round the bend my body feels completely different and I hit a whole new speed everything feels better and I’m in touch with my body far more in control. Sorry for the paragraph but it’s awkward to explain

Great Vid, very under looked aspect of sport

Excellent look at the semantics of high performance. If physical fitness was the primary aspect of preparing for the 100 meters then we would see hundreds of people qualifying for the Olympic Trials. Over my 46 years coaching Olympic and Paralympic athletes I've found that it is a complex matrix of many factors over an eight to twelve year Quadrennial build up that places an athlete on the starting line and in a heightened state of conditioning as you've laid out. Physical fitness is just one by product of the combination of motor learning, control along with a well honed history of mental preparation that can only be gained through competition at all levels. Thanks for covering an area that often leads young athlete to just emphasize one aspect for the entire puzzle that could one day put them on a podium.

Great stuff! Thank you for sharing. Can you provide some studies supporting this? Another question. I’ve always felt that this is one of the reasons why it’s so important to be relaxed when sprinting, so that essentially you can use your entire body. As you say, the hips come first. When I try to force things, allot of times I get a spinning my wheels going nowhere type of feeling. As a rugby player, how can I improve my first step so that essentially I’m accelerating correctly like Marcel Jacobs in the 60 from different body positions?

Hey, Nice content. What do you think about baking soda suplementation before training to low latic acid?

This channel is a gold mine for running advice... it's a shame that you don't have more views and subs.

I started off fast and gave out bout at the 300m

You need powerful shoulders and a very strong core. Persons dont tighten up because of choice. If you run 🏃‍♀️ 400m you wouod understand. Its easier said than done

⭐️

This is great. 💪🏾

U good

this channels a hidden gem

Great video man 👍🏽

I fully agree with this! I ran my PR not that long ago I ran super relaxed and split 23.7 (my 200 pr is 23.1!) and I didn’t even mean to get out that fast and I finished the race at 51.5 and felt just normally winded after of course and had to sit for a second but I didn’t feel sick or terrible it was great Then a few weeks later I ran another 400 and thought get out even more aggressive…. I went out at 24.2… felt even more tired and faded at 53.3…. I previously was injured right before I ran so I didn’t feel super prepped but when I finished I puked and almost passed out after the race.

wow this video got in my recommendation fee ant the perfect time. im now reflecting on the national competition i had yesterday. i came to it after not participating in any competitions this season, because of injuries, so it was my fisrt one. when i ran the heat i was so nervous thinking about many things and ran 7.10. then for the final i focused up and in the finals i got very good start out the blocks, but after 30m i noticed that i am running even with the guy who ended up getting third as i noticed it he immediately started to separate from me, i ended up running 7.00. i need to become more present and confident in my abilities bc i know i can run 6.7-8. ive ran 6.4 in practice multiple times and 3.3 30m. This was a good video for me to reflect, thanks!

Andy, seems like u stole my brain and make these videos lol. I share your methods and approach u take for sprinting. Your channel is definitely underrated. P.s thx for no loud rap and electric music in the background. That can be so annoying😂. I wish there was some way i can chat with u. We are so alike when it comes to this stuff. Unfortunately, so many coaches take the opposite approach to this. Burning out their athletes way before their prime years and major competitions. What do they say, no pain, no gain. Thats a lot of crap i'd say. New subscriber here.

How do I know I can trust you?

Thank you for this❤❤

Then what is the point of having cues ? Or should we only think about our cues at practice and try not to think when we’re competing ?

Thank you for the information! SO even if I’m training for the 200-300 meters, should I focus on the 40-60 meter reps instead of 200-300?

thanks

thanks

Amazing content

Thanks for the information ❤🇯🇲

Yessir

you are right but your hairline is clapped

Never understood the notion that "the first 70 meters on the 400 is free territory". It goes against basic human physiology. Even Michael Johnson is so conceited that he keeps perpetuating it

Salut, je suis francais, Vous parlez toujours de relachement et vous dites qu'il ne faut pas allez dans le dur. Cependant il faut bien que les adaptations se fassent, il faut faire comprendre au corps d'aller vite. Le relachement est pour moi la dernière piece du gâteau, ou le toit d'une maison mais pas ses fondations. Le relachement sert a utiliser au potentiel maximale les capacités que nous avons développé a l'entrainement avant. Vous ne courez pas plus vite car vous etes relacher, vous courez plus vite car le relachement vous permet d'utiliser vos capacités acquises des entraînements poussée et precedent qui ont permis les adaptations.

I have one question how many endurance is needed for 400m sprint ? 3km‚ or 5km or max now my timing is 53 sec i want to reduce it reply plz

Search “feed the cats”, coach Tony Holler, AMAZING speed coach and also a chemistry teacher. Throwing up isn’t a stomach issue, it’s a lactic acid issue. Lactic acid is a poison, you’ve got too much lactic build.

I am a freshman who plans on running the 200, 400, and 800. Often after running the 400 last year I would almost throw up and would be too sick to run in any of my other events. Sometimes after hard practices I will throw up as well. Last practice I ran 3 70 second 400s and almost threw up. Do you have any tips for dealing with this? I have always had issues with my stomach and want to get it solved ASAP. I know nerves is part of the reason when I am racing at meets.

Yaaa Muhammad Ali always relax n flojo

Thanks for the contents. This is definitely for real fans of track and field

Negative thoughts down regulate our nervous systems, resulting in a global temporary weakness and tightness through the entire body. He is right.

I want to give you feedback from your tips. I did resistance training today, I know it shouldn't be max but I did it to see the result. I do my 3x30m test with a medium heavy sled, I do the first two as I do every time and before the third 30s I look ahead and take a deep breath before the start - the result is 4.75, 4.75 and 4.59 all at max. That means about a 3% improvement just by looking ahead and taking a few deep breaths. When I thought about it, I realized that I had done this in the past, but I never knew that it actually helped me. Thanks for opening my eyes.
