sprint technique training, leaning to run and sprint faster

[secondsunn4]

if i were to drill this,would i approach it with a certain reps/sets and distance or what?

[ROMPERSTOMPER21]

i was told that if i took bigger strides that id be alot faster!! but i dont know much about running technique. pretty set in my ways in the style that i run. iv got very quick legs but my stride seems to get shorter and shorter as my legs speed up!! any ideas of how to fix this lol

[tordack]

jump rope

[nikka6666]

Use your arms. Think more on getting arms to drive you forward, and your legs will follow..

[LFCsteUK]

cheers, i will try this in the parents race at my sons sports day later

[AndyLauV]

For me i put my right leg in front cause it helps me get a good start

[nish019283]

Bigger strides are better

[SuicidalxFail]

depends on the person

[theginzamo]

when running, is it better to have palm open through the whole race (i'm talking about a 100 meter) or eventually get your hands to the point where they aren't exactly tight fists but are relaxed.?

[scoobysdeathwish756]

Don't exactly want to have your hands flopping around, kind of tensed and straight out, but not fists.

[saxonlolz]

i just let them relax into a natural closed sort of position, but not so that you have to focus on closing them coz ur focusing on running

[theginzamo]

you are very helpful, thanks

[Popsickle950]

I dont get how... sprinters.. runners and such do alot of running and pump there legs now and again but they still remain small ? as the uper body buffs up anyone know.. well. how or why this may happen?

[rehanb]

they do, but only to a certain point, there is a misconception that muscle strength is related to its size (to a certain degree) but look at athletes and body builders and you'll spot the difference

[Lisforluke]

imagine you hav hammers in ur hands

[comepost]

When i sprint I lean a bit forward and take like half steps half leaps, Im going quite fast like that!

[whirlfury]

does having muscles at the hand having 6 packs help to spring faster?

[mqzmcq13]

thats my one problem-is running on the balls of the feet. when i blast off im going good, then after 1 second my weight brings me back therefore i go on my heels which slows me. if i go on the balls then ill fly foward and most likely face plant. i need help

[009reddevils]

move ur arms faster it will give u slightly more speed

[tttjump]

just moving your arms faster may not give you slightly more speed.

Move them faster when, how do you move them faster,

If not done correctly, you may increase turnover but sacrifice stride length. Which would make you slower.

[009reddevils]

it does work ,scientifically proven ,just try it

[murrayppp]

That is true. To do it correctly swing from the shoulder keeping your elbows at a 90 degree angle. Once that begins to work, swing and keep them moving. Practise that and simply with taking 3 or 5 pound weights; and in 1 minute intervals swing your arms as if you are running. This will help you gain arm strength and form.

With the wieght bring you to your heels, it's probably that you are beginning to "sit", bringing your bottom closer to the ground.

[tinder1220]

I have this weird question, is a guy with longer leg but slow leg coordination faster than a guy with shorter leg with fast coordination?

[youngj2u]

no if you can move your legs faster then you will most likely be faster than the guy who has longer legs mr/ms tinder 1220

[trinity27777]

well i am short and i am way faster then tall people. even though they have a great stride i just work harder and faster then most people. its weird ,lol

[arrowmanlc2]

people with short legs are gona be more explosive and quick, but if you have long legs more than likely you will be a distance runner because you can take long strides and just kinda jog and maintane a good speed

[LJfromNJ91]

unless your name is Usain Bolt :)

[Anthemless]

its opposite for me im siignificantly taller than my friend and i sprint and he's distance. for sprinting u want to take huge strides

[atvracin74]

well im a running back and in football im kinda of forced to take off like crazy and i dont care about power i already have that its just instead of breaking a tackle i wana just blow someone away when running up the field

[Nebraskafans]

im a distance runner and im going to mainly focus on the 800 this year any pointers.

[tttjump]

Learn how to sprint, Makes running the 800 easier, gives you more control over your speed.

[Nebraskafans]

thanks

[atvracin74]

i got a question....ok i can take of and smoke everyone its just once i get running i hit a barrior how i understand how to get running its just while im running

[tttjump]

Look at your start for changes, you are running fast to soon, which means you are slowing down as other may still be speeding up.

[josemourin]

Hi tttjump

[omgkittymeowmeow1234]

I'm 13 and for my age on the 100m sprint I got 95%.. I don't remember the time but there was a table that classed you.. and I'm happy I got 95% :D

[Reedman08]

ok good :D

thanks

[Reedman08]

You could say i'm fast for my age,i suppose.

Im 14 in oklahoma and in football i ran a 4.63 in the 40 yard sprint. when i run i dont let my heels touch the ground,is it similiar to this?

[tttjump]

Keeping your heels off the ground is a good thing.

[OfficialRWCWrestling]

thats pretty fast man, im 14, and an oline i ran a 5.60, im 5'11 190 pounds. for a fat guy i can run pretty fast

[dangibbo94]

i dont use my toes when i run but i am used to the way i run and i am the fastest person out of the people i know. should i change this

[tttjump]

Never change anything for the sake of change.

If you are happy then keep doing what you are doing.

[dangibbo94]

so kind of like my own style :)

[kalliew07]

would using ankle weights in combination with speed training help increase my speed for the 400m?

And i have the biggest problem of bouncing while im running, i spend more time up in the air then going foward. do you have any tips to help me?, and tips keeping form and maintainig in the 400m?

[tttjump]

No, ankle weights is not the solution.

Spending time in the air is a good thing. The issue is how to spend more time going forward and less time going up and down. In order to direct you properly, I would need to see video of you running. I would imagine the way you are landing is causing your issue, and should be easy to correct. Email me a video of you running and I could tell you more then.

[uvacavalier13]

thanx man. i got a track meet today. i'll be sure to use ur advise.

[JustBeautifulLife]

hey..great teaching!! can I ask you about which makes faster? cause I`m 6´3 and I know that with long legs is more difficult to accelerate..but it´s possible to make feet faster and improve technik..look like Usain Bolt !! he has long steps and fast feet= world record! thx...

[itzjordan1]

does running improve kicking abilities...

[Tom0freerun]

tnx very helpful video (lol the child on 4:37 xD)

[tttjump]

Start them young.

[SflAthlete]

Great Advice. You are a great coach!

[tttjump]

You can with a plan. Also think about developing your sprint actions. Just sprinting will not let you reach your true potential.

Work on developing your hand action, foot recovery action, foot strike action and so on.

[dangibbo94]

i am 13 and i can run 100 metres in 13 seconds is that good for my age?

[tttjump]

It is not about good or bad but about improving.

[k1d2r4nq3]

i need ur help u see i got 10.64 seconds in 100 metres and my teacher wants to put me in from 10m cross country any tipz on how to long distance?

[tttjump]

Why cross country? What is the overall training plan and goals?.

[tttjump]

If in 2 years you cut 2 seconds, that would put you at 11 seconds, in two more years you cut just .5 that you make you at 10.50. Always think about getting better.

[dangibbo94]

thank you a lot you have set me realistic goals which will push me but yet still can be achieveable

[shotojojo2005]

Im planning to put sprinting into my training program. Thanks you for the video, I hope I can improve my training.

[ilikathecookies]

how fast can you run 100m
