Sprinting performance is based on an athlete's force production capabilities and their sprinting technique. A forceful athlete who lacks skill will not run as fast as possible, nor will a weak athlete who has a sufficient amount of skill.
If you want to improve your maximal velocity sprinting speed, it is imperative that you learn how to sprint with good sprinting form. This video by Cody Bidlow will help you hone in on an important aspect of what it takes to run faster.

@СтефанЙорданов-с6з 9 месяцев назад

Maurice Greene is an absolute master at hitting the ground like a hammer, just watch him in front how his foot strike and you'll see what I mean. I want to share with you some of my personal experience. Last month I realized my biggest mistake and omission. I've always known that my ankles and calves are weak compared to other muscles, but I don't really understand what's going on. When I sprint after the first 10-15m I start to touch the ground with my heel and because of that a lot of energy is lost and because of that my speed endurance is never been good and to compensate this lost power I extend my arms from the elbow. Last month I started doing calf raises 4x15 with 1 minute rest between 2 times weak with 120kg. now I do it with 320 kg. and my sprinting technique immediately changed dramatically. Now I run higher, I have more endurance and I don't extend my arms from the elbow and my stride length has improved a lot. Once I start doing fast sections I'm sure the times will come and I know it and feel it.

EXCELLENT training video. What to some may be beating a dead horse, to me his presentation of a concept via two or more examples is more easily absorbed. He's taken a concept I was told (not taught) by a successful coach of "clawing the ground" and turned it into "whipping the hip" and "hammering the ground"...two principles that are more easily understood, envisioned, and attainable. Thank you from a very astute...track-and-field-wise...62 year-old starting a "comeback" to high-level USATF Masters competiton after being a collegiate distance runner and sprinter in the 70s.

"Sprinting is a series of takeoffs, not landings" - Rae Edwards

@Leonidas-eu9bb 3 года назад

well explained. But doing it unconsciously is another thing. I also think this active hammer action is only possible if the opposite recovery leg actively starts a powerful hip flexion at the same moment. If the timing isn't on point one leg has to wait for the other wich kills most of the impulse. Furthermore a good hammer leg action is only possible if the recovery phase prior was also good. Mastering this cycle is so important. Most slow athletes try to push/feel the ground. This leads to a bad/slow leg recovery by killing the SSC in the hips. The result is a bad next stride.

@ATHLETE.X Hello Cody, I have watched several of your videos and I find all of them interesting. Of course sprinting is very complex, so many aspects are important, but I want to ask you your opinion about the efficiency of a few exerccies mentioned below: 1) double leg vertical jump from 1/4 squat position (with lets say 90 pounds) (2 reps at 100% explosivity per leg) followed by single leg jumps from 1/4 squat position (2 reps per leg) followed by a jump as if you wanted to dunk without any additional weight or with maximum 5-6 pounds medicine ball 2) attach an elastic loop band to your ankle, place the foot with the band around it exactly next to your other leg and push back as explosively as possible), the range of movement could be of about 60-70 cm, basically not more than your foot stays behind your center of gravity while you are sprinting. Another variant would be to push back a 5-6 pounds (or heavier??) medicine ball. I would suggest 2-3 sets of 4 reps for each leg. 3) single leg hip thrusts (in addition to single leg glute bridges) followed by single leg broad jump (possibly from a few steps acceleration) 4) single leg 1/2 romanian deadlift (with heavier load) followed by one step in romanian deadlift position and then a single leg jump from 1/2 romanian deadlift position with no more than 20 pounds. 2-3 sets of 4 reps per leg. Thank for an answer

This is one of my all-time favourite sprinting vids. But is Whip from the Hip contradict a Bounce / Pogo-Stick model right after ground contact? (But perhaps directed at an angle rather than primarily upward). I guess I’m asking if you think of the lift off from the ground more as a Push or a Bounce? Don’t hammers also bounce off the nail.

@ciskjelagermaker 5 лет назад

Hello Cody, first of all impressive videos. I have never trained sprinting in my life but love to watch your videos as I love the bio-mechanics and science behind running. I have a question for you, I am 27 years old and was wondering if I am too late to improve my 100 meter sprint. Despite never training in anything regularly and with no prior track field experience, last November I did 2 x 100m races with official electronic timings of 12.28s and 12.26s. Would you think its possible for me to achieve a mid or even low 11s 100m sprint.

@ATHLETE.X 5 лет назад

Thanks a lot for the comment & for watching! I think it’s perfectly reasonable to assume you can still get sprinting. Considering you ran low 12’s without training, you’re certainly capable of something in the 11 second range. I’d start with a couple days per week of capacity & tempo work (as discussed in my endurance video), paired with some basic strength & power work as discussed in my strength & power video from a couple months ago. Over time, you want to progress to faster reps, harder surfaces (such as from grass to track), and from running shoes to spikes. Also, lifts should progress toward more powerful and explosive lifts. 3-4 days of training each week total should get you started in a safe manner, and in due time you’ll see how you respond and can adjust training accordingly.

@ATHLETE.X 5 лет назад

Avoid over-striding, which usually comes from firing too low or trying to stay low. When your leg is at peak hip flexion, launch the leg down & back through the air and once you feel the ground you should be initiating the next stride.

@greghodel5068 4 года назад

You shouldn't reach ahead of the body with the foot. Your foot should always land under your hips. If this happens, your stride length increases as you run faster and travel further in the air. So you want a long stride length, but not as a result of reaching ahead. See more sprinting concepts at vmaxrunning.com

@עידונווה-ק4ס 5 лет назад

I’m not sure the hammer and nail analogy is right. In sprinting not only should you strike the ground actively and forcefully, but you should also be able to break all that impact and rise the leg back up, otherwise you would collapse down, while with a hammer it’s only about hitting as strong as possible. Also I’m not sure that sprinters actively move the shin foreword and then actively pull it back underneath them in the air. I think the shin of elite sprinters goes forward passively as a result of the fast movement of the thigh upward and then back downward to ground- shin movement is simply a passive product of the forceful active movement of the thigh up and down. This shin movement possibly isn’t seen in slower sprinting because of weaker forces and slower speed of the thigh. Also I think technique to a great extent is simply a product of power. Bad technique in most cases is lack of power in disguise

In order to apply the amount of force to the ground needed your arms has to to swing bigger during your drive phase "hammering" at the ground, that's how you apply controlled force. Coming out of your drive phase your arm speed has to change keeping the same range of motion swinging pass your hips... (Former pro runner, now certified lvl 1 coach)

Thanks for another fantastic instructional Cody, really helpful stuff and you’ve managed to articulate the whip the hip concept in a way I’ve finally understood from at least a theoretical perspective. Coincidentally, our national masters track and field championships start on Friday here in Melbourne, Australia - so fantastic timing. If you have any special advice for dinosaurs like me, 59 year old trying to break 13, I’d love to hear it. The programs are naturally geared toward young guys and the volume is way beyond me, so it’s tricky to find a progression that will build strength and speed but not lead to injury. Cheers, Mike

@ATHLETE.X 5 лет назад

Hey Mike! Thanks for stopping by. I really like the 3 day rollover approach for masters athletes or those like myself who work full time plus train. Basically, every 10 days you want to hit an acceleration session, speed session, and speed endurance session. There’s no requirement on when to work or how much work to do, instead you base it on how you feel and only do what you feel you can safely recover from. In season, it might be something like 6-10x 15-30m for acceleration, 3-6x fly 20 or 30’s for speed, and 3x80-120 for speed endurance. My general approach is to train when I feel ready and motivated, and otherwise rest/recover. If you’re burnt out, don’t make it worse by forcing yourself to train. Instead, train when you’re motivated and it’ll end up being more fun and probably more effective.

@deehenry6192 4 года назад

All of the details you cover are correct but these adjustments will only work for someone who is an advanced sprinter. For the beginner or average sprinter they will need to go through a progressive program to first develop the strength, mobility, stabilization, coordination, alignment and flexibility to do this. This usually takes a minimum of 3 months. Even the examples you show on your video are high level athletes. Most elite sprinters are born not made and if you weren’t born with the goods you will have to spend a good amount of time improving your nueromuscular and muscular system before you can even tolerate different components. Once you develop the muscles a lot of these things will happen naturally with only a few adjustments needed.

Still the best advice on training sprinting I have found thus far. Worked for me last summer. Will continue to follow this sort of plan and strategy..

Is there any drills for this technique

@k4life642 2 года назад

Great content. This is one of the best explanations of proper sprinting technique that I’ve heard.

@stevenprice5548 5 лет назад

Hello, I was wondering what the relative risks of this technique would be with regards to hamstring health. I ask this because it seems like it would apply a lot of pulling force to the hamstrings on the downswing, and I know that if your hamstring contracts too violently while your leg is being extended, then it can lead to muscle tears. This is assuming that prerequisite strength (2 years for me) has been attained, and the hamstring is relatively strong.

It shpuld be safe if you streth warm up, and are use to sprinting quickly, try jogging and running before before lesrning how to really sprint at high speeds

@vmaxrunning9758 5 лет назад

Hamstring injuries occur when they are passive and the leg doesn't curl. The injury is caused by the longer leg swinging forward with more force which overloads the hamstring when it has to stop the leg's forward movement. When the hamstring is active and curls the leg, the leg is short and there is very little stress on the hamstring.

Hey athlete.x I don’t know if you read comments or will see this , but I was wondering what you recommend to get your joints and muscles, especially shins and everything ready for full on sprint training coming back from a long period of inactivity. Thanks

Hey Cody! Thanks for the video! Quick question, what is the best way to learn to keep your hips down in the start? I find that I tend to break my form in the start by bending at my hips when I try to keep a low angle in the start. How would you suggest to overcome this?

@romztemple1651 5 лет назад

Currently i run a 11.06 will working on this concept of whipping the hip help me break 10

@ATHLETE.X 5 лет назад

I’m certain it will help! Just start slow and easy with drills and incrementally bridge the gap toward doing it in your sprints. Safety is #1, especially when changing technique 💪🏽

@lunamoonlight5102 4 года назад

You're going to break 10 seconds?

@Fordance100 4 года назад

It will be hard to get under 10. You need a good coach if you are serious about it. A youtube video is not enough get you from 11 to 10.

@vansantsam 4 года назад

Sounds like you try and visualize yourself pedaling a bicycle in front of yourself.. Where the power stroke is frontward and downward and it ends at the lowest point where the other leg is now in the power stroke.. I watched some of Flo-Jo videos and it almost looks like she is sitting back and pedaling a bicycle that is in front.. I have also watched trotting horse races and the front legs do the same action..

@gplays583 5 месяцев назад

What sort of a power ratio should 100m or 200m be seeking between our hamstring and quads?

@doudleyJ Год назад

Popping the thighs up/hammering the ground is great, better than knee up Great video thank you

@randomperson4527 5 лет назад

This is some good information, I’ve been doing this while sprinting without even realizing it lol

@makueythedub3247 2 года назад

What did you do? Was it like a cycle of your legs quickly back to your butt?

@rishiramkissoon6976 3 года назад

Thx and I def did gain alot. I think I have been hammering the ground with loose, dorsiflexed ankles, expecting the stretch tomaintain stiffness. I will dorsiflex AND keep ankle stuff to claw ground. Had I not been working on this for a year I would NOT have been able to envision the whip, but now I can. Out of my sessions only 10% of runs achieve that whip feel-like a single leg dolphin kick back that just happens to swipe floor as you move forward. I noticed the ground strike does not feel heavy, ankles/knees feel less stressed and I feel like I am floating. Holy Grail lol. If my torso angle, hip tilt, dorsiflexion and feet pronation are of, it fails. It usually takes me most of session to get all those in line. OS now I know that whip is what end goal-I can adjust warmup and session goals to achieve that. Thank you

@Sealae80 3 года назад

Literally kept my arms lock led at 90 would just press my leg straight down not using energy for 40-50 steps smh losing 0.05 probably on each step what waste of energy

@huetheacrobat4369 5 лет назад

I've noticed that I accelerate A lot faster than my opponents consistently, but start to fall back once I hit a wall early on, hopefully this helps

@briantorres6600 5 лет назад

Your quads are over developed and stronger in relation to your glutes

@phoebeandromeda866 5 лет назад

I have terrible acceleration.

@antoniojrhuitzil 5 лет назад

Fr i be accelerate asf but cant maintain that speed i dont know why? I use to be able to start fast and even push to be faster but now is like i start fast but i end falling back like you said

@godofnothing428 5 лет назад

Toño Jr you may be quad dominant and need to work your posterior chain in the weight room. ie hamstring and glute exercises. You may just not have enough speed endurance Or you may have a bad start, for example you stand up to early which allows you to accelerate faster but makes you enter maximum velocity too quickly causing you to slow down earlier.

@danielcervantes7826 4 года назад

Fr tho, I have the best start out of the blocks but have limited top speed

@b_reynolds7403 5 лет назад

Whenever I sprint I have duck feet and knees point outward, any tips to fix this? Thanks Great video as always man very helpful!

@ATHLETE.X 5 лет назад

It’s probably worth doing some strengthening & activation work on internal rotators of the hip, doing internal rotation with both straight leg and bent leg variations. Also, I’d look to see if your external rotators are excessively tight, hitting them with a roller and some dynamic mobility work to get them to chill out. Lastly, how you cue movement might be exacerbating it. So if you’re trying to push your way down the track, you’ll likely exhibit more external rotation on the ground than if you tried to just punch the ground and get your foot back up into the air ASAP. Pushing leads to excessive ground contact times, and this external rotation could be your body’s way of trying to manufacture a push.

@b_reynolds7403 5 лет назад

ATHLETE.X thanks a lot man appreciate it very much I will try all of this!

@chuarh7393 4 года назад

B_Reynolds maybe you have some overpronation issues?

@alanfsmith2141 3 года назад

Thanks for the informative lesson. I just want to comment that the music is distracting. I wonder who would miss it if it were gone and I wonder how others can tolerate it when trying to learn. Thanks again.

@Mrwiseguy101690 5 лет назад

Very very very important you have strong hamstrings in the eccentric position like he said. I tried this last year at practice and I ran a lot faster for like a split second before I tore my hamstring. But I also had a strain at the time so I really shouldn't have been sprinting in the first place.

@makueythedub3247 2 года назад

Does he mean, cycle the leg quick again? Or pull it down quickly to the ground? Maybe both
