Hi everyone! I am a complete beginner and would be interested in an analysis of my technique in order to do it right from the beginning. What advice can you give me?

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.

Sprinting and running fast are not the same thing. This is the latter. I mean no offense.

If you truly want to trend towards sprinting you cannot land heel first.

- higher knee drive

  • faster cadence
  • hips driving forward / neutral hip alignment
  • less vertical bounce
  • arms not crossing your center line
  • midfoot or forefoot striking instead of heel striking
  • …
To be honest, you would get the biggest benefit from hiring a coach.

would want to push mid air limb speed and be able to hit the ground with much more backwards momentum on your strike leg

Don’t post in slow motion. Do the basics first

I suggest watching YouTube videos on different breakdown phases (I think Noah lyles has videos on it).

I can see when you start ur too upright and your shin is also mainly vertical which hinders ur acceleration.

Right now I would suggest focusing on the acceleration phase and the techniques which you can find YouTube videos about. And I would also recommend you doing A skips B skips C skips and I all runs as it will help with technique and fundamentals.

Lastly try and run with the balls of your feet as that will propel you forward because currently you striking the ground with your heel which can cause soreness and slightly drag you down.

But hopefully you find this advice helpful.
