How to Run Faster by Fixing the Dead Step 

Great to hear!

Thank you so much 😀

You are very welcome! Coach Harnden was born and raised in Zimbabwe so he'll be happy to hear that.

Thanks, me too!

Most welcome

Thanks, yes they do!

Moin, Sag mal kannst du mir das vielleicht erklären was er in dem Video gesagt hat, habe das nicht ganz verstanden (dafür reicht mein Englisch leider nicht) 😅.

@@fabian.h9414 also es geht dabei um den ersten Push beim beschleunigen , das man den kraftvoll setzt und unter dem Schwerpunkt sich abdrückt um weiter maximal aus der Hüfte beschleunigen kann.

@@ThePassionofSprinting also man soll zusagen verhindern das die Hüfte zu weit nach vorne kippt?

@@fabian.h9414 genau weil man dann den Schwerpunkt nicht trifft und der Schritt dann sozusagen tot ist „dead step „

You bet!

Welcome!

Thanks 🔥

Glad it helped! Work on developing proper posture with sprinting drills like a skip, wall drills, strengthening your hip flexors etc. You might be interested in a course we just released for athletes in multi directional sports like volleyball.

@@OutperformOfficial Thanks for the answer i'll look at it! 🤩 Have a nice day!!! :)

Thanks for the comment. We're a video production company that develops and produces instructional videos with elite coaches. However Ken Harnden (the coach in this video) does offer some individual coaching. You can contact him through his website.

@@OutperformOfficial Tried that, no response.

Welcome

Thanks for the visit

Appreciate it! Regarding your questions about the 2 point start position, it's important to maintain a strong and stable base when starting from this position. This means that while your ankles should not be completely stiff, they should also not be too relaxed or floppy. Instead, try to maintain a slight bend in your ankles while keeping them aligned with your hips and shoulders. Here is a video we posted on 2 point starts that should help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-13K8CIuUlXY.html As for the focus of your first step, it should be relatively short and quick - it's critical to try to land under your center of mass. This will help you maintain balance and control as you begin to accelerate. A simple way to tell if you are landing under your COM is to video yourself and see where the foot is in relation to the hip. A great video that will walk you though how to do this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6m_fjNhRhkY.html In terms of the way your foot contacts the ground during the acceleration phase, you want to land flat on the balls of your feet rather than your toes. This can help to reduce the risk of injury and improve your overall running efficiency. If you are experiencing pain when landing on the balls of your feet, it could be a sign that there is an issue with your running form or that you are overloading your muscles and joints. In this case, it may be helpful to consult a coach or physical therapist to assess your technique and identify any potential issues. If everything is good than it might be an issue of strength and stability which can be improved with drills.

Thanks 💯

Your most powerful leg should be first in the blocks, so in your case, yes, the right leg.

Calf raises are definitely part of a well rounded training program however you don't want to run on your toes.

@@OutperformOfficial ooh ok, so running on your toes is not good

@@amevilantam9277 you got it, you want to land on the ball of your foot (with your foot dorsiflexed).

Make sure your stride length is dialed in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jN5vROfDcSE.html Work on body angles (wall drills can really help with this) Balanced strength training (meaning core strength, compound lifts like squats, box jumps, stabilizer work etc)

What are you looking for? We've posted a ton of videos on sprinting mechanics.

What tips are you looking for?

@@OutperformOfficial speed + endurance tips for 1500m running

That can be difficult when you don't have a true sprinting coach. However you can absolutely educate yourself and make big gains which it sounds like you are on your way to doing. Check out our other videos on youtube and if you really want to learn more check out our sprinting classes and programs on our site. Best of luck!

@@OutperformOfficial can you give me some tip to drag my feet what should I thing when I am doing it ?

Dont do static stretching. Do dynamic. Thats it.

@@markojovanovski3372 static stretching on recovery days are good too

@@ThePassionofSprinting nah. Just eat healthy, get enougu sleep and dont ice it and youll be fine

Please tell some dynamic exercise

@@kuldeepsinghbhati433 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ye4hRO8CQgA.html here is a warm up with a lot of dynamic exercises

Every athlete responds differently to training so it's impossible to say. However going from 15 seconds to 13 with the right technique and training is certainly possible.

check out this video we posted on the toe drag, it should answer your question ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pml7B5zEmU4.html

That is going to be dependent on the athlete and their height, stride length etc.

Ha!

That is an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing!
