Does The Toe Drag Make You Faster? 

That is a great point and I absolutely agree.

Thank you! I knew the heal recovery part but no one mentions the friction. I was like “science says that should slow you down” 😅😅 great point

This is why i dont toe drag

@@zlmdragon. what

Not to mention: wearing out expensive shoes !

Every skill is an Art, you just have to open your mind and you will see the motor programs involved.

You got it!

You’re welcome 😊

Wonderful!

That's an interesting question. When it comes to stretching, it's important to strike a balance between flexibility and stability, especially for sprinters. While excessive stretching of the ankle may potentially weaken dorsiflexion motion, completely avoiding ankle stretching exercises may limit your overall mobility and range of motion. The saddle pose in yoga primarily targets the hips and can help with hip flexibility, which is beneficial for sprinters. Regarding the ankle, focusing on exercises that strengthen the muscles around the ankle joint, such as calf raises and ankle stability drills, can be helpful in maintaining stability and preventing injuries. Additionally, incorporating dynamic warm-up exercises that involve ankle mobility, such as ankle circles or ankle pumps, can be beneficial before sprinting. Our free guide on the 3 phase warm up should help give you some ideas: ru-vid.comUgkxuu7uwwBXNy45vSrYsOUK3BOR7GU1BoG_

Thanks, a few suggestions: 1) Warm up with dynamic exercises for your arms and shoulders (walking arm swings, hamstring sweeps etc. 2) Practice arm drive drills to focus on full range of motion. 3) Strengthen muscles involved in arm extension Remember, change takes time and consistency. Best of luck!

Thank you! Cheers!

Bro you’re 23 you’re so young, keep training for 7 years and see where you’re at

A good clue for the distance should be whatever creates the proper angles for each leg.

Pavement is not a great surface to run on. When running on a treadmill set the incline to at least 1 or 1.5. Also try sand drills, walking on heels, toes, inside and outside of foot. Really helps the issues you are describing,

damn i have $50 adidas

Absolutely, make sure to get good trainers that work for you

It sounds like you may be confusing some concepts. "Low heel recovery" is a very common term used to talk about the path of the foot being closer to the ground. Conversely high heel recovery is when the foot cycles closer to the height of the pelvis. Hopefully that helps!

It makes sense. Jesse had many flaws in his style.

@@lalatendupattanaik4876 It's stupid to put on brakes while accelerating on takeoff 🥴 Jesse unleashed the horses while Usain tied them down 💯

Ultimate respect for Jesse Owens (my favorite sprinter of all time). Bio mechanical experts have run simulations that put his times close to Bolt if he used blocks, ran on a composite track etc. That being said, this video is about why you see athletes like Powell and Bolt drag the toe in warm ups. Also important to note, no sprinter has "perfect form."

That can definitely be an issue if you are making a lot of contact with the track.
