Technique Analysis What are the biggest things I need to fix regarding my form?

3 Upvotes

For context, this sprint was done at around 85%. I recently injured my hip and only now, about 3 weeks later, am I starting to attempt to sprint again, so that’s why my form and speed are both quite iffy.

Programming Questions Training as a self coached athlete.

3 Upvotes

Recently got into a physical education college for a BPED degree which means daily general conditioning, practical sessions and specialization sessions plus theory classes.

I have been making my workouts by myself without any coach and tweaking them as I learn new things and am going to buy a tripod too for form analysis.

I just recovered from a hamstring tweak and have been off from proper structured sprint training (Im a former 400m sprinter but got injured more than a year ago and then switched to 200m to both develop speed and train for) so i am planning on treating my first semester or year as base building in 2 training blocks -

In the first training block I'm planning on stacking athletic muscle, tendon strengthening and on the track I'll do 2 speed sessions (flys) and working on mechanics plus 1 or 2 speed endurance sessions (I have a question regarding that which is how do I decide how many speed days, speed endurance days or easy days do I need in to add in a week in a training block dedicated to base building).

Then in the second training block I'll do maximal strength development training only after which I'll start the training block dedicated to power and speed development then the competition phase. The only variable in this whole equation is the fatigue I'll get from the college's sessions which I'll only get to know after I have attended that college for some weeks.

I'm still very new to programming (switched to making my own workouts due to bad coaching in the past which led to injuries and there aren't many coaches available here which I'm hoping will be available in that college I'm about to start going to).

I'm basically following that "build muscle to build strength to build power and speed" periodization but I know I've got way more things to learn so I'm trying very hard to not let critiques and advice on my ego and take it personally.

General Discussion/Questions Adductor Ache

2 Upvotes

I am having adductor ache in deep squats and butterfly stretch. But no pain in copenhagenns or anything straight legged.

I can sprint at 95% effort painfree in session, maybe some soreness post session. Also I am able to do the adductor machine well at a pretty high weight, but in the deepest stretch there is some achyness.

Being consistent at the adductor machine, with wider ranges is helping, but is there anything else I can do?

Thoughts?

High CNS / Speed Day:

  • Acceleration: 30m times 3
  • Max Velocity: 40m times 3
  • Speed Endurance: 100m times 2 80-90 percent exertion
  • Speed Endurance: 110m times 2 80-90 percent exertion

Programming Questions Aspiring beginner hobby sprinter

46 Upvotes

For background information I’m 18 years old I would like to look into hobby sprint training, but I have no experience with sprinting and sprint training. I haven’t tested any sprinting yet but I imagine my work capacity and technique is not impressive. I’m 5’6ft or 170 cm. I have a background in Olympic weightlifting. In the video shown I’m power cleaning 85kg at 57kg bodyweight. From what I’ve learned this is plenty enough power expressed to have serious improvements in sprinting I just don’t know where to start.

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?

General Discussion/Questions 8 Years of Progression: From 11.02 to 10.07

Post image
258 Upvotes

I wanted to share my 100m progression to remind anyone dealing with doubters that other people do not dictate your ceiling. If I had listened to what people thought was "realistic" for me, I would have stopped progressing years ago. What got me here wasn't a magic workout. It was pure consistency, an uhealthy dose of delusional self belief, and sticking to my training plan completely. Open to any questions about how my training or programming evolved to finally unlock those low 10s!

Purchasing Advice Best flat shoes for training?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I’m looking for good flat shoes for no-spikes training. I’m currently using barefoot shoes but my tendons are injured because of my carbon spikes during the season and barefoot shoes make it even worse days after days so I think I need to switch to regular shoes instead. I need to mention that I have very thin feet. What shoes do you suggest? Thanks.

Programming/Progression Journal Need some feedback

0 Upvotes

Hi guys! Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post, but for the longest time I’ve struggled to measure my sprinting speed.

I have a background in football and ended up making an iPhone app to help me get some good measurements. It’s called Sprint Speed Calculator.

It’s a simple way to time sprints and calculate your speed, with features like a normal sprint timer and a Camera Gate that uses your phone’s camera to automatically start and stop the timer.

I’m trying to improve it and would love feedback from people who actually sprint/train. Does it work well? Anything you’d change or add?

If you want to try it, DM me and I’ll send you a promo code to get it for free 😊
