If You Are Struggling To Run Fast Then You Are Probably Taking Too Many Steps!!
Whether it is your acceleration or top speed the amount of steps you take are critical in understanding how to improve speed. What all the fastest people in the world are able to do is maximize the amount of force generated into the ground when sprinting. In fact, force=speed is a commonly used analogy used in sprint training. What does more force into the ground create?!? You guessed it, MORE DISTANCE PER STEP!!
There are a ton of reasons why this could be happening and impacting your speed. This is why we do the sprinting mechanics breakdown to get a better idea of what to do in order to fix your mechanics. Some common examples are:
1. Not Enough Height In Foot During Leg Cycle
2. Ineffective AND/OR Inefficient Arm Swing
3. Poor Foot And Ankle Action After Push Off
4. Front Side Mechanics
5. Drills/Training Regimen
The key is we want to make this specific to you and your sprinting to make it so you can get the best results, the fastest.
Here is a brief overview of what all is included in the sprinting breakdown:
