Workout Wednesday: Carl Lewis & Houston Sprinters 

As a highschool sprinter, seeing them smash all of my best times in training is extremely humbling

47.1 and a 20.90 in practice? Even just with hand times that's amazing

Legend has it kyle never kept his feet down

47 in practice. Wow 😮!

Me: trying to skip a workout Coach: have you ran the 200 yet? 😭🤷🏾‍♂️💆🏾‍♂️

I ran 55.5 in highschool 400m and it felt like my soul was exiting my body.

“Have you run the 200 yet?” 😂

It's funny, great athletes usually don't make good coaches. But Carl Lewis seems to have the stuff. I love the rapport he has with his athletes.

"Don't make me embarrass you" lol

They got Pop Burrell, Carl, Tellez, Jr and Debbie Ferguson. That's a Hall of Fame coaching crew, right there!

Carl lewis was the most gifted long jumper sprinter ever. Glad he’s inspiring the next generation so well. I watched Carl win all his medals to his retirement

Learning sprinting from Carl Lewis Is the same than take soccer lessons from Pele . 👍😊

The man the myth the legend Carl Lewis, needs a real stopwatch though

My dad used to sprint in college back in the 70's. They used to do "heart rate cool downs". They'd do 400s and 200s, and when their heart rate would return to 70 BPM, they'd go again. At the end of the season, they could compare time between runs as well as run times themselves to see improvement in performance as well as conditioning.

Dude in the gray trashed himself after that 47 second 400

Carl came all the way to Canada to coach Jared and another long jumper at the Canadian championships last summer. These guys aren't world class athletes but Carl was going the extra mile (literally) to help them. I admired how much energy he put into athletes who weren't big stars but were just part of his Houston team. I spent some time talking with him and he is much more humble now than when he was younger and has a good attitude to coaching. It was fun to see him running around trying to give athletes help as if they were his own kids. He's just another coach out there doing what the rest of us do coaching our athletes... except that he is a legend, of course!! Good job, Carl.

Carl looks like he could still put some feet down.

Wow, more footage please!!!!! I don’t need a scholarship for this team. Carl Lewis= Championships

Great to see Carl coaching ! He was the man back in the day !

Coach: Have you run your 200? Student:(oh f**, caught me) no. 😂

Rest In Peace Cam :(

To this day Craig's chin is still up...

Usually legends don’t make the best coaches but Carl Lewis and Leroy Burrell are not only two great sprinters of the past but now two outstanding coaches as well. This Houston team is gonna win some NCAA titles in the future.

Wow, carl Lewis is one of the assistant coaches, Leroy Burrell is the head coach!!!!! That's going to help recruiting majorly, I would sent my kid there in a second!

Coming from the North East I know Carl appreciates and sees things other coaches can’t. It’s cold in places from Main to VA so the times are not going to look the same as a kid in FL but the talent may be there. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time and it takes a lot to change gears from a iconic talented Athlete to a very good coach

cool seeing Carl Lewis working with future sprinters and runners..wished I had a coach like him when I was in school

Love speed training......and hate it 😆😑

I love watch the sprinter's workout

I love the way Carl Lewis handles the athletes🙌🙌🙌he is a great sprint coach 🤯❤️🙌

Solid instruction, you can tell Coach Lewis knows his runners

Carl Lewis is a great Coach. He's been under great coaching himself, and have proved that by qualifying and going to 12 to 16 years of Olympic competition. He knows his stuff!! The heart is such a great organ!! You treat it right and exercise properly and it will bring you gold. The heart wants to be efficient!! This 400-300-200-100 Workout will train the heart to be its best. This is also a good work out for everyone too!! We did these long ago in the 70's when I was in junior high school. If you didn't you couldn't be on the team. Everyone did them and we got better.

Man, it's crazy I was doing 50’s and 49’s in high school. I should've stuck with Track and Field. My first love.

This coach is superb in my opinion. If I was ever a college sprinter he'd be my first choice.

Love you Carl Lewis! I need to implement this workout when I get back into shape. Great idea.

They’re blessed having the legendary Carl Lewis as their coach 😊❤️

I love coming back to this video every couple of months to remind myself what I can if I work as hard as these guys right here.

I remember doing these workouts in high school, they were hard but I miss them.

Great Coach, Great Workout🔥🔥The Legend

I'd love to see a longjump workout like this

carl lewis as a coach would be awesome

Can we please have a "Take It Easy Tuesday."

So glad to see Carl coaching the Houston runners. There have been many great track athletes in the world but Carl is the King and those Houston track athletes, whether they realize it or not, are truly privileged that he is giving them his attention.

Great video!

I remembered watching Carl Lewis (on TV) in the 1984 Summer Olympics, he was The Beast!

THe memories of having a great practice and fighting through that lactic acid in the legs!!!!

Wow fantastic job

This is legit...need more!

Carl Lewis always admired him, now he’s giving back makes me admire him even more. 👑

Go Coogs! Man, I miss the days, you guys are great and Coach is a legend!

Cool to have Carl Lewis as a coach

So good contents :) big up!

sprinting is so technical is really is a chess game if you ask me. The human anatomy has little left to allow us run faster but the technical details allow so much room. He who runs the the perfect race shall win. It is an addictive sport.

wish I had an area to be able to practice like this. Living in Maine and running track makes it hard to get good training because you only have like 2-3 good months of perfect weather plus no where to practice

Carl Lewis! What a legend ❤

I met Dr. Little and his boys in Cali. They a great group. My man Carl taking after his coach and training champs.

I’m so excited to do this on monday

It must feel very special to be coached by a legend.

Wow wieder mal ON POINT

Carl lewis....... Of all time great coach and athlete

That looks so fun😁

Omg I've been waiting forever!!

Legend coach

47.1 was my PR in Highschool and I was in a coma afterwards. Dude said he ran a 47 as a warm up 😂😂

Awesome!

Nice training coach

Happy Holiday! Mr. Lewis and a very blessed New Year in Jesus.

Keep your feet down and get your chin down helps me a lot while running. 400m runner here :D. Big thanks to Carl

When he said it's not about the conference but about the coach...I realized that's the type of coach I needed. Never once in being recruited did I think about the effects of elite coaching. 💯

Carl lewis is like the Michael Jordan of track.

Carl...you the man!

0:20 "Well today's a tuesday" *titles video Workout Wednesday*

great athlete Carl Lewis a Legend

bravo a tous

Imagine having such a legend as your coach

we love King Carl!

i so so love disy

Good work, uh, guy! Good work!

400 , 300, 200 !! Very very good workout!! How much minute rest ??

put your feet down KYLE

Carl Lewis: "Stroke, put your feet down, don't rock your shoulders" Me as a coach: "RUN. RUN FASTER. GO."

nice one 👍👍👍🏽👍🏽

The wisdom he can share with them is incredible. He always was good at talking through the science of the workouts with the media. "you want me to embarrass you in front of the media.. you know go out there and do the next one in a pair of heels." One thing, I couldn't stand to have to run past a Taco Bell sign 20x a day...

Carl lewis is a LEGEND

I wanna go run there one day😦

Welcome to the "Carl Lewis School of Track". Don't make him embarrass you!😁😁

I am not a Carl Lewis fan, but he is a good coach and he had the perfect sprint form.

Shouts out to the brothers!!!!!! Carl I need your critique brotha.

I would love to have all these boys at Man U. Teach them the basics of defense and they will be solid

Lewis seems like an amazing coach... couldn't imagine being trained by a guy with so much knowledge who can actually translate it to you and coach it.

King Carl! Ruled the '84 Olympics.

My fevrate coach

Good pawar

We use to do the same exercises during practice in high school. Ours times were consistently better. Just shows how much talent we actually had.

GOOD VID, LEGEND THAT IS CL.

Wow... being trained by Carl Lewis... I'd be like "Yes Sir!""

Did I spy a Taco Bell at 2:48? If smelled that TB downwind I’d hit 22 to get there.

@7:00 This is hillarious! haha dissapointed with 50 in practice :)

Damn! I wanna go to Houston!!! I'm transferring before I get older!!! 😂💯

They just broke like 3 of my high schools school records

nice to see carl coaching
