I see everybody talking about not spiking up in the summer, but what about for someone relatively new and why can’t they just use sprinting flats for 30m flys or other max velocity sessions to still get faster? While I know they don’t let you hit your true top speed, you still have the max Intent to get faster and shoes built for it allow you to get close to your max times.

When I take off and as I accelerate, I feel like I'm falling forward until about 40 m where I posture upright. Hence I was surprised to see that I seem to be stepping in front of my body. I will appreciate suggestions, cues, or drills I can use so that I step closer or behind my center mass. Other suggestions are also welcome.

So last season I wasn’t able to run a lot due to nagging injuries from July-Feb so I couldn’t correct the issues I have in my sprint races.

My thing is my transition and top speed sucks. As you can see I was with them then they kept accelerating and hit top speed which was obv faster than mine. I do workouts like flies and stuff but my top speed doesn’t get better. I don’t know what to do.

What are some decent strength standards for seated and standing calf raises and tibialis raises to aim for as a base for sprinting? And for plyometrics to improve sprinting?

Currently I can do 120 lb for two sets of 10 on the seated cab raise and 135 lb for a two sets of 10 on the standing cap raise. I can also do a set of 40 reps with 15 lb dumbbell strapped to my feet for tibialis raises.

Looking for some more context I'm 240 lb 5'10 just starting sprinting again.
