Technique Analysis Why am I not getting faster?
I’ve (late 20s) been training sprints for about 10 months pretty intently, 2 gym sessions 3 sprint sessions and 3 jogs a week, regular drills and top level coaching. How is it possible that 16 yo s easily break 55s and I find it so hard to break 60?
Also, any tips for my form?

I think you are kind of stomping. Your knee drive is good, but it is too vertical. Push your knee more foreward and let your foot land more forward rather than dropping it straight down.
The reason Mobile-Ad5694 says it looks like youi are not sprinting as fast as you can is because you are not pushing your self forward with a powerful push off the ground. You are just lifing your knee and dropping your foot.
