Max Velocity Training with Dr. Ken Clark & Chris Meng | Podcast Ep. 21 

Literally go to the channel 5 mins ago and say: ftc channel getting slow about putting stuff out. Little content this week. 30 secs later get a notification

Hey coach, what should be the position of hips during sprinting?? Should one push them out like a anterior motion or should they be neutral?? Because I found that by having a anterior push the COM travels faster and also the foot lands below COM. What is your take on it??

VERY interesting. Loved Chris Korfist's comment near the end, that the future will be (largely?) about neurology. Would love to hear studies that record energy flow in the nervous system over time spent with overspeed training, and the ebb and flow of nervous system activity during best performances, rest, recovery, etc. Related: prefrontal cortex activation related to individual performance gains and how fast they come; how well the body responds to training related to PFC activation, etc. I think this is a huge area. Some of my fastest, most energized, athletically agile moments as a (former) athlete happened when I literally felt unusual amounts of energy in the area of the PFC. I know that's anecdotal, but I don't care. 🙂

Also don't think the egg and chicken allegory is correct. From physic point of view the only reason for sprint speed of any terristerial animal is force applied to the ground in relation to the body mass. For humans strike frequency is just a result of his speed, his height and leg length. Of course the different technike can change in some degree some variables, but strike frequency is not a cose, it is the result. So sprinting speed is: Amount of force put in to ground in realtion to body mass. Amunt of force is result of mass of the striking object time acceleration of that object (leg). Frequency and stride length are just results of speed and leg length. But i don't have any idea how this knowledge can be applied in training. Your idea than for being better in sprinting you need to sprint seems logical, and your results are showing clerly you know what you are doing.

This video should have a million views. Coach why I like you so much is you treat speed the same way a martial artist master consistently seeks ways to better the craft and make it more efficiently

Hey tony, been watching a video of yours every alternate days from last two weeks, amazing stuff keep up the good work - Young S&C from India who thinks speed is king. Also would love to know if you have link to that Chris korfist presentation that you guys are discussing about. Thanks

OUTSTANDING EPISODE!!

I love the scientific discussion as explains the why sprinters run fast, but as discussed it’s about the horse at the end of the day. A fast horse does not spend time thinking about running technique.🤔

Conan is my new favorite sprint professor

Where is the thigh split measurement taken from anatomically on the body? What's the make up of the split ie. degrees of hip flexion & hip extension?

Feed the cats...and pet the dog

Thanks

Has the research paper on overspeed training been published/released?

“tangenital” 😂😂

Good Questions. Tony I was not sure what a Marshall Jump was either.

I dont't uderstand one thing: for me to say than sprinter is applying force to the ground in 0.08 sec, have the same use as saying than boxer is applying force in to face of his oponent in 0.08 sec. In my opinion it doesn't matter how much time the sprinter or boxer have to apply the force, but rather how much time he have to generate that force. For boxer it is from position of his fist close to shoulder to the meeting the target, for a sprinter from full hip flexion to the moment of a strike, and that is much longer time, than 0.08 sec. But anyway, your results are speaking for themselfs, and I really like your approach to sprint training. Do you think it is possoble to improve sprinting speed after 30?

I think Weyand may have the physics wrong. The force going down into the ground is not vertical it is a vector. It has vertical effects.

So Ken was born in 1980?
