I wish there would be more discussion in the sprintcommunity about how different anathomy affects sprint technique. It's so obvious that everyone isn't shaped in same form, and if you look at sprinters like for example Calvin Smith, Evelyn Ashford, Michael Johnson Johnson we all can see that the the text book solutions doesn't apply to them. I think coaches who doesn't understand this can hurt certain athletes deeply. For what I read, all coaches to those I just mentioned understood this, and because of this they could be of great help for their athletes. For me, to watch Evelyn and Calvin run was just amazing. Sheer beauty on a track. Wow!

Absolutely, this is a vital aspect of training that Coach Harnden emphasizes regularly. He is a strong advocate for adapting sprinting technique and training to fit an athlete's unique anatomy and physiology. This personalized approach helps in maximizing performance while minimizing the risk of injury. Coach Harnden covers this topic extensively in his courses and materials, reflecting the diversity seen in elite athletes like Evelyn Ashford and Calvin Smith. Thank you for highlighting this important discussion in the sprinting community!

Hi, love your channel!!! This was excellent information thank you so much.. So I'm just getting into running(extremely fit and capable) and watched about 50 hours of different videos on high performance shoes:) I'm not really exaggerating...😬 Here's my list I'm wanting a shoe that does everything REALLY WELL if possible. Also I have taken up sprinting for about 50 yards so I'm also wanting a non spiked shoe to do 50 yard HIT training.. Any and all suggestions welcome. One shoe to rule them all would be great, But if I really am needing two shoes to do both short distance running and sprinting that is fine. Doesn't matter about the budget. I just want what makes the best sense, But it would be nice if one shoe like the SUPERBLAST might do both really well..

What about sprinting on a banked indoor track? Does the mechanics change? Going into the turn is uphill. Coming out is downhill. The left step is higher than the right. I've stumbled coming out of the turn. It was mostly likely due to trying to accelerating with downhill momentum. The declining surface may have caused my contect with the ground to be more behind me verses underneath.

That is a really interesting point/question. I saw a study a while ago that showed overall speed can be greater with banked surfaces during the turn but I don't know about adapting/changing mechanics. Next time I talk to Ken I'll ask him.

He is a distance runner so very different mechanics. However he still lands underneath his center of mass and doesn't over rotate in the back.

In an analysis video, they showed that Usain Bolt's foot landed in front of his center mass and he did "butt kicks."

@OutperformOfficial

5 ай бұрын

When analyzing elite sprinters like Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell etc, it's important to understand the nuances of their form. While a detailed analysis may reveal that their foot lands slightly in front of their center of mass, this is typically a very small distance. For practical coaching purposes, it's more effective to instruct athletes to aim to land their feet underneath their center of mass vs saying "land 2cm in front of your center of mass." This simplification helps avoid overstriding, which is a common issue that can lead to inefficiency and increased braking forces. Regarding the "butt kicks" observed in Bolt's running form, this is a bit of a misinterpretation. What Bolt actually demonstrates is a high heel recovery, not traditional butt kicks. This technique is part of an efficient sprinting form where the heel recovers high off the ground, facilitated by proper hip positioning. Very different from the exaggerated motion coach Harnden demonstrated . Bolt's form, including his hip positioning, is a model of efficiency and power, tailored to his unique biomechanics and sprinting style.

We did in college but not straight back butt kicks. We did them using the same mechanics as in your natural running form. So your knee would be up a little when your heel would be kicking your butt. Sort of like a high knee but obviously not that high. We also didn't actually make contact with the heel to our butts. Watch a slow motion sprinter and watch the mechanics as the leg is coming from the back to the front and that will give you a better idea of what I'm talking about. I was a 3x all American sprinter back in the day. I'm still pretty good at making people faster.

Haha. One of 2 reasons: The term "employ" can connote a more deliberate or intentional use of the med ball, whereas "use" may suggest a more general or casual approach. So, in section of the video we're trying to convey the idea that incorporating a med ball into A and B skips is a purposeful decision that requires some thought and planning. So "employ" was chosen instead of 'use' as it's more appropriate term in this context. Or It could be that talking to a camera for hours on end in 90 degree heat and trying to convey detailed yet concise instruction with no verbal or visual feedback from the audience is incredibly challenging. When you task your brain to provide the most valuable content to athletes and coaches you can, you are naturally left with a very finite capacity for nuanced grammatical decisions.

The fastest runners' heels come up pretty high, almost kinda touching the butt, from what i've seen, which is the opposite of what this video is telling me. How would one explain that?

@OutperformOfficial

Жыл бұрын

While it may seem contradictory, the observation you made about the fastest runners' heels coming up high is actually related to their efficient frontside mechanics. When sprinting at high speeds, elite runners generate tremendous force through their hip flexors and powerful leg drive. This force naturally results in their heels reaching a higher recovery position. This is different than backside mechanics (as explained in the video). Notice their hip position, torso angle and where they are generating power from.

@mirzunayedali1724

@@OutperformOfficial thanks I didn't find any other video explaining it. So for acceleration it's better to have a steep forward lean so legs can form a stabbing motion behind center of gravity but As one approaches top speed it's better to have high knee drive and hammer or whip the leg down in an arc(below center of grav) by loading the hamstring which causes high heel drive This right?
