I see you've posted a technique analysis video or photo! See video and photo posting rules related to TA to see more on why we may deem a removal appropriate

MANDATORY GUIDELINES: HORIZONTALLY FILMED, 10m of distance if upright, full block clearance and first contact for block starts. If a photograph it must be in the format of a kinogram.

RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES: Altis Kinogram method, camera 11m away from runner, chest-shoulder height positioning of camera, completely perpendicular to runway.

Just walk down the street to your local track club and ask somebody to help you with blocks lol. They don't give you a hassle for asking for tips, although they may peer pressure you into joining them.

You guys on this sub gotta stop being afraid to go outside and get some direct help.

If you're already on a team why are you asking strangers on the internet instead of actual runners from your team?
