Hey if i'm not mistaken, it looks like your starts from 5:30 - 7:15 have improved! Step 1 looks similar but steps 2,3 are definitely taking less time, and you're not spending a bunch of time in the air at the end of each swing phase, possibly a greater body lean angle. Hard to say what caused it, my guess is potentiation from the ankle-centered depth jumps, maybe the altitude drops.

Possibly could be, maybe also the balls behind the knees and doing sled sprints minimising opening the knee during drive phase.

10m sprint same day but last run after video
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VCKKk3tbAE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VCKKk3tbAE</a>

Can you check my broad jumps, is it a technique issue, can't jump farther than 2.4m

seifullaah73 · « **Reply #1924 on:** July 13, 2023, 03:53:55 pm »

Some more insight into my sprinting form is hip projection is not powerful enough that once in the air, I am not moving and also my neck is overly strained looking down so going to focus on making it neutral and look down forward, which after implementing seemed faster to some people.

Going to do some clean variation, single leg onto box, hip thrust on bench.

single leg seated calf raises aim is 25 normal ascent and slow descent but I am just able to get to 15 lol.

Speed and power session

Was trying to practice keeping my neck neutral, which seems to be neutral as I drive out but as soon as I strike the ground my neck is Strained and not neutral anymore. More practice on the step rather than drive out.

Than did some power exercises to improve hip drive, resisted 1 step starts, resisted speed bounds, resisted Broad jumps Contrasted with holding 1kg plates and doing broad jumps. Each weight plate on the sled is 20kg.

Video of the workout below.

Strange day yesterday, woke up with pain in my groin and as time passed I was getting lethargic, fever and just not motivated enough to train and decided to train a little just some sprint start forms and then go to a walk in clinic and let's say there were some swelling and doctor said it was an infection, probably bladder infection and prescribed some antibiotics for a week.

Running slightly irritated pain because pain was at side of groin near hips.

Soreness: hips, glute area, sore and internal soreness between hamstring and hips

Condition: It was raining a little, then got worse till it was a shower than it stopped and then it showered again and then finally stopped till I could finish my session, but rain at start of session. Started at 11:15 and finished at 1:15pm.

Warm up
cycle machine couple mins
dynamic warm up
hip mobility hurdle drills
sprint drills

Workout
tested my single leg tuck jumps, felt uncoordinated and fatigued quick but left leg was worse
Pogo hops x 10

sprint starts experimented on power, quick or comfortable as I feel if you can accelerate quick enough to run the 10m at the same time as powerful start but gradually apply power on the strides from 2nd 3rd step onwards you should have conserved enough energy to accelerate longer, but that's the theory. But time ran out to check my 10m split at the 30m or 40m mark.

Met another guy there who was a first time, who ran in Nigeria, and wanted to race me, I said only upto 30m and didn't want to try as after trying to accelerate he was not putting effort and when I did he was gone. He also wanted me to time him, which he got 11.13 seconds with bad form, just straight upright from the go.

Soreness: quads, legs basically

Condition: mist spray rain, which is annoying and got to the gym at 6pm and finished at around 8pm practicing technique speed.

Warm up
cycle machine for couple mins
mobility and activation stretch
sprint warm up

Workout
Note: I found out about these 2 sprint drills, which really help with negative foot movement, prime-times (bent leg version of the straight leg bounds and skipping for distance where you drive knees forward but you have to quickly drive knee back before landing and going for next leg, which can be tricky but after some time you figure it out, helps with movement of leg in space) after doing sprints after I can feel my legs are probably moving at a diagonal line forward and back hopefully it is that when I record myself.

Up stair runs as bouncy as possible holding dumbbells 6 to 7 steep and wide steps equivalent to 2 x 2 normal steps
- 1 x 1 run to the top @bw light
- 3 x 2 runs to the top @20kg dumbbells in each hand

contrasted with light sprint starts for power in the ground strikes

walking on toes/balls of feet holding 20kg dumbbells for 10m and back backwards and then second set to 50m and walking and then normal walking back forward to the startline and to the gym to the rack

dumbbell snatch using one hand 17.5kg dumbbell and then 20kg dumbbell

shoulder press with dumbbell 17.5 kg in each hand x 5 reps

Soreness: quads a little

Condition: Really hot, and sunny outside. Got to the gym late 11am and managed to get good data to compare but only got 1 sled run in lol and left 1:10pm.

Warm up
cycle
dynamic warm up
hip hurdle mobility drills
sprint drills
sprint start warm up

Workout
10m sprint starts
- 2 x 10m powerful drive out
- 2 x 10m quick drive out
- 2 x 10m comfortable out the blocks

60m sprints
- 1 x 60m powerful drive out - surprisingly was good, and at the 60m I felt like I was falling forward down a slope but without actually being off balance, strange.
- 1 x 60m quick out - time was running out, only could rest 5m before running again
- 1 x 60m comfortable out
Note: I notice I can accelerate out longer if I start out the blocks a comfortable, moderate effort and then increase force intensity for every step.

sled sprints 10m
- 1 x 10m sled sprints - only rested 2-3 mins as I only had 1 minute left before gym closes but they allow slight over time.

cool down
stretch
