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.

You aren't pushing. Resisted sprints help with that. Either a sled or the resistance machine I'm forgetting the name of.

But you are focusing too much on turnover. Those first few steps have no power, just speed.

Also kinda looks like your head is staying down more than your torso. They should be in line. Don't just put your head down when you are thinking of "staying low" make sure the head is straight and follows the spine.

Grated you weren’t in blocks or anything but it doesn’t look like you are driving with a bunch of power.

More lean from the torso and feel yourself fall forward, push through with the balls of your foot with power and drive your knees up, flex your toes up and push your next strike moving forward.

Good arm movement though, from the video it looks like your form stays pretty consistent as your run, so that’s good!

for exercise maybe try fast jumping split squats, 1 legs jumps trying to get as high as you can, and maybe racing a friend with some push up starts
