Notes to Self:

First 3 steps are normally long, the first one being the longest in terms of ground contact time.

Cue 4 start was good but the foot strike under the body rather than behind. so I need to explode out same manner but I also need to drive the leading leg back rather than down, which makes it resemble bounding, which I did in Cue 5.

Also looking at the sprint starts of sprinters and my start I am coming upright at an angle rather than staying at a lean and let the hips come down and straighten. This is one of the major reasons my knees doesn't appear  to come up high but rather my torso is not low enough. Therefore first step has to be low to ground once fully extended and knee at 90 degrees.

Drive legs back as powerful as possible as quick possible while maintaining relaxed to avoid forcing it and push body forward maintaining lean till about 10m, then slightly come up for another 10m and then come fully up by 30m mark or around there.

feeling a little better then yesterday, learned a few things. will try and go to track just to practice my technique every day for half an hour or so but gym will stay the same.

more beneficial for upright running.

Good drill is butt kicks while keeping thighs parallel.

Enough analysis for now

Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

Comment
It was an alright session. was overloaded with so many drills that I have to reduce it. doing step ups with drive backs is more effective then trying it on the track with slow drive, it is just confusing unless you use sleds. can't do that at home as steps are wooden and weak to power down on them lol. Toe drags just feels awkward. need to think of a good drill for low heel recovery or just stick with these. The gym was good especially the front squat at 60kg, felt good. eccentric hamstring are useful for sprinting but also heavy kettle bells and hip thrusts to chose from.

Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.

Soreness: quads a little

Condition: It wasn't cold, I wear a long sleeve shirt so it was mild. Wet track and left college late because of a meeting with boss. So I had only 1hr 15min.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch
   hamstring stretch
   quad stretch
   single and double leg glute bridge
   high knee holds with 8kg kettlebell
   back stretch

Track warm up
   A walk x 10m
   B skips x 20m
   A Run x 20m x 2 (had to focus on driving legs down on second set as I forgot)
   Straight leg (slight knee bends) x 20m
   Acceleration bounds x 20m
   
Track workout
   Step ups with drive down before feet makes contact with the steps - a little difficult to do
   hurdle pushes 10m x 3 - focus on keeping low and still extending the hips and knees, low heel recovery and drive backs of the feet.
   large step ups with emphasis on driving leg down to go to next step - might have to miss this and do A skip of quickly switching legs.

Gym workout - 30 mins remaining
   Hip thrusts
      - 1 x 5 @20kg
      - 3 x 5 @90kg

   Hex bar jumps
      - 1 x 5 @60kg
      - 3 x 3 @100kg - it was hard to hold in the right place without the bar rotating forward or backward making contact with the back of my knee making it hard to jump

   Some calf raises slow eccentric

   hanging leg raises x 10

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Comment
A little tricky to train the drive back intentionally as you are driving down to push off before you even make contact with the ground. I did learn to do 1 step sprint start and then pushing back the ground forward, after gaining muscle memory of that action then I will do 2 steps. Then I had only 30 mins for gym work.

Also now i'm not sure if I have the correct lead leg, they say the leg you kick ball with is the back leg and the leg you lay up with is the front leg.
I kick with right leg and I lay up with the right leg.

Soreness: none that I can remember

Condition: It was a little windy but not too bad. Aim was to do work on the sprint start technique second step. I need to work on driving my legs back and down before it touches the ground to generate more power instead of waiting till my legs are almost hitting the ground and flexing my knee and hit the ground and push forward like a bound. I did 1st step last week, this week will be second step with focus on driving back on first and second step. Most of my time was on the track doing drills.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch walks
   ankle hops
   hamstring stretch single leg using both posterior and anterior tilt
   quad stretch walks and static stretch
   single and double leg glute bridges
   high knee hip holds @12kg kettlebell
   back stretch
   box squats 30" bw and then holding 5kg dumbbells in each hand near chest x 3

Track warm up/workout
   A walk x 10m x 2
   B skip x 20m x 2
   A run x 30m x 2
   alternating high knee drills x 2 each leg x 30m x 1
   ankle dribbles x 2 x 30m going from small to high to runs - need time to adjust to the technique as it's a little mechanical and awkward
   straight leg with slight knee bend bounds x 10m

   some big step step ups x 2 x 5 steps

   hurdle pushes x 3 x 2 (maintain lean while extending to triple extension, low heel recovery without dragging, drive backs (which was unnecessary as it's hard to push back before hitting the ground to go forward and am already driving back with normal weight pushing)

   sprint starts - wore my spikes as slippery
      - 0 steps - I explode out as far as I can without flexing my knees till I reach furthest distance in the air then flex my knee and land
      - 1 step - same as above but once I reach as far as possible without flexing my knees I drive my leading leg back and down to the ground to push me forward
      - 2 steps x 3-4 - same as above but after the push from the first drive i drive second step leg knee forward and same as above till I reach far driving leg back and down and push myself forward
      - 3 steps - will do next saturday and get it recorded to see how it looks and if I my legs is travelling too far back to make contact with the ground

Gym work
   don't remember clear as I only had 30 mins, so did some bent over dumbbell flys, hanging leg raises, adductor work, step ups but starting with the leg above the box, push the leg down and jump up. I had another plan on doing a normal step up jump and as I am in the air switch the leg and the knee that has driven up I want to drive it down before my back leg touches the floor, but it was messy didn't work and probably not good for me.

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Comment
It was a good feeling to be able to get that awareness of driving the legs back during the sprint starts. Just need to do it for 3 steps then transfer to a smooth flow to accelerating/running at a lean till I i am upright.

Soreness: some bits here and there

Condition: Cold as heck. Had 1hr 45 mins and spent 1hr 30mins of it doing technical speed work lol. A lot of drills, technique work and some spike practice work and then doing some effective gym work for 15 - 20 min lol involving front squats for 1 set, shoulder work for 1 set and then core work for 1 set. Then left the gym.

Will record on saturday just to see how my form is with my technique training.

Upper back was sore today and knees were a little stressed out, nothing major. I don't think it's the concrete step ups as I use the foam running shoes but it's just the accumulation of the plyometric action plus the front squat which, didn't feel too good on the hips after so stopped but the depth as well felt stiff.

It was an ok session. the runs were ok. Aim was just focus on driving leg backs and then after I can think of leaning and low heel recovery then increase speed and power of drive backs and not the jumping out of the blocks.

Looking at the video analysis, of course the form is wrong, because I am more upright then I would like to be but I see some push backs going on, but because i'm upright my shin becomes more straight but the push happens.

I looked at the video to time it and the time for 3 steps and then just slowly run to the finish and I timed it as 1.84 seconds average at 7 steps for 10m.

Improvement:
Need to drive and hit the ground a bit more back as I am driving more down and less back.

Soreness: little shin pains and quad sore a little

Condition: It was very cold outside. Got to the gym at 5:35pm and after warm up session got to the track at 5:45pm. So had just over an hour. 1hr 15min on the track and 15 minutes in the gym. But based on how the track session went, completely worth it.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch
   single leg hamstring stretch - standing and sitting
   quad stretch lunge position - heel to butt
   single and double leg glute bridges
   high knee hip holds @12kg kettlebell
   back stretch

Track warm up
   A walk x 20m
   A skip x 20m
   B skip x 20m
   A run x 30m
   low ankle dribbles - slow and fast
   knee dribbles - slow and fast
   alternating high knee drill x 2 each leg x 30m
   straight leg bounds
 
Track workout
    2 x 2 x 20m acceleration bounds - focus on high knee then focus on piston like knee drive rather than cycle x 20m - turns to high knee large stride runs

   Hurdle pushes
      - 2 x slow lean and low heel with knee drive
      - 2 x fast drives with same as above technique

   high step single leg jumps - difficult and awkward but will abandon this as it is concrete but also will change to steep hill single leg bounds no limits and room for progress and safer on the joints.
      - 2 x 2 x 5 steps

   Steep hill single leg bounds
      - 1 x 10m each leg - single leg is weak especially when trying to do high knee then drive down and push forward/up and repeat.

   Sprint starts
      - jump out starts x 2
      - jump out chin tucked followed by single step drive back x 2
      - 2 x 3 x 3 steps - the first step drive was good but the others were automatic that I couldn't focus on the other knee driving up it was too fast I could only sense the drive back of the leg. this made me frustrated thinking i'm not consciously thinking of driving back each leg after driving the knee. speed was medium and controlled but the last run I did it was AWESOME, actually felt the drive/push and the smooth transition, felt just like the way I see sprinters push out when driving smooth and fast.  :trolldance:   :personal-record:

Gym Workout
   Front Squats
      - 1 x 3 @20kg
      - 1 x 3 @50kg
      - 2 x 5 @90kg - was comfortably easy can't say the same for my wrist.

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Comment
it was a good session. the run to practice the drive backs were good especially when I slow it down the second and third step were too fast to control the knee drive but the run felt good, could feel the pushing and driving. Front squats were good.

Yesterdays test session was really horrible, second story this month, storm dennis lol.
Really windy, raining hard. Managed to place my camera in front a brick wall to avoid the wind knocking it down.

But after analysing the video, complete utter failure, it even felt like that during the sprint. problem is I am driving my feet down to quick that I don't get full extension.

Second step is always the worse my feet lands under my shoulders rather than behind me under the centre of mass. then the following steps feet becomes more flat and flat.

More practice.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm

Another cue I need to use is popping the thigh forward, driving the knee forward as pushing back only works to some extent but knee is neglected so optimal is thinking of both like fast switching A skip drills.

Knee drive and push back at the same time.  :uhhhfacepalm: More practice required.

Soreness: none

Condition: It was cold, wet, windy and raining quite a bit. But after warming up the rain stopped but the rest remained. It was a good comfortable session. Not enough time for gym lol. Started at 5:45pm and finished at 7:25pm.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch
   sitting hamstring bench
   quad stretch
   single leg hip thrusts
   high knee holds with 12kg kettlebell handle on my feet x 10 seconds each leg x 2
   back stretch single leg rotations
   3 sprint arm swings explosive leaning with 4 kg dumbbells

Track Warm up
   a walk x 20m
   a skip x 20m
   b skip x 20m
   a run x 20m
   ankle dribbles x 20m
   calf dribbles x 20m
   knee dribbles x 20m
   high knee butt kicks x 10m
   sprinting bounds with thigh pops/knee drive

Workout
   Hurdle pushes x 2 x 2 x 20m

   uphill work
      - light uphill runs x 2
      - uphill skips but with aim of fast powerful switches of the leg to get up the hill

   Sprint starts
      - exploding out of the start x 3 with aim of driving knee forward
      - sprint starts with a step/drive back
      - 3 x sprint starts with aim of just driving knees forward
      - 3 x sprint starts with aim of just pushing legs back
      - 3 x sprint starts with aim of driving knees forward and then powerful switching of the legs to drive the next knee forward
      - 3 x sprint starts with aim of driving knees forward then powerful switching and using my arms, which will automatically drive the legs back.
      Note: felt quite good - I decided to drive the knees forward for the start and then focus on the reflex switching of the legs concentrating on the knee driving forward and driving the arms. As there is a lot of cues to think of.

Times up

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Comment
Good technical session, the starts felt good, didn't want to go full effort just a comfortable slow start. So the cue of driving the knee forward is really helpful.

It was a good session. I feel like I have a good handle of the cue to get a good cue, not perfect but good, am happy.
