The Biggest Mistake Amateur Sprinters Make

Спорт

If you want to maximize your sprinting technique you have to be fluid. In this video you'll learn how to be aggressive while staying relaxed, how to maintain proper sprinting form during maximal efforts and why tension in the face and body can rob you of speed.
In this lesson coach Harnden provides actionable tips to help sprinters stay relaxed and ensure that they maximizing force production without sacrificing technique. Tension in the face and chin position cascade throughout the body and have a huge impact on sprinting form. Great races and PR's share 1 thing in common, they feel easy. It may seem counterintuitive but "trying hard" can actually slow you down.
Athlete Insight section features Olympian Warren Fraser talking about balancing staying aggressive and being relaxed.

    My rule of thumb is 97% effort, as you try to go faster and you reach your CNS and muscle fatigue limits, the body can't help but tense up. Like an engine red lining and about to break down.

    I used to struggle with the idea of muscle tension being on a scale from "relaxed" to "tight," but changing the vocabulary and thinking of it as being "elastic" on one end vs "rigid" on the other really helped. When you're sprinting, you are not "relaxed" per se, but you don't want extra tension causing your muscles to be rigid and stiff. You want to maintain that flexibility. I'm not saying anything in this video is wrong; obviously they know what they're talking about. I'm just offering a slightly different way to describe what they're saying in case it helps anyone else like it helped me.

    Speaking as a very ordinary masters athlete, this is probably my greatest problem. I've been told all the tactics to relax, but the moment I try to drive my arms fast I automatically tense up, in the effort required to do it. Maybe I should have started earlier!

    I look at it like the volume on a speaker. If it’s turned up to 100 the sound is blown out. But if you dial it back ever so slightly, you gain quality. The technique becomes more smooth and less chaotic. You have to dial back the power slightly to gain control of the movement.

  • @OutperformOfficial

    @OutperformOfficial

    3 жыл бұрын

    Great question Apollo. I haven't seen much information on breathing rate as I'm not sure it's a metric that is really tracked or focused on. Since sprinting and especially the 100 is primarily anaerobic the amount of oxygen isn't a limiting factor (unless you are holding your breath). I would say breath at a rate that is comfortable and don't focus on it too much. Curious to hear if anyone else has info or experience with this.

    Yes your height shouldn’t matter, it’s more so about your turn over rate. How fast your get getting your foot down. You want to be smooth and fast. It’s a process but you can be very fast your best time won’t and shouldn’t be measured by your height

    Height doesn't really matter in sprinting, cause even shorter than average athletes are great runners. You could have really greater acceleration than athletes taller than you.

    Hi David. Since I'm not sure which video you are referring to I can give you a general answer. You want a long stride length but not by reaching. However there is a balance between stride length and stride frequency. Ideally long quick strides.

  • @OutperformOfficial

    @OutperformOfficial

    3 жыл бұрын

    Recovery is highly individual and there really isn't a standard to shoot for. What's important is to give your body what it needs to recover (proper nutrition and lots of quality sleep etc) and learn to walk the fine line of training hard without over training. That being said, if you are fully recovered from a 100% workout after 2 days you are recovering very well.
