Thanks for the idea! 💪🏽💪🏽

@@ATHLETE.Xnp looking forward to the videos have learned a lot from you

absolutely

Thank you coach!!

​@@ATHLETE.Xhow can I help a sprinter whom have worked with for over 10 years...his running mechanics has improved but keeps running 12.00 seconds in the 100 meters despite changes, PLYOMETRICS, weight lifting, striking centre of gravity etc?

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Troy! You’re channel is great man. I appreciate your support 💪🏽💪🏽

Start at a fast velocity you know you can hit and slowly increase intensity/velocity over time

That’s what helped me get back to sprinting. Taking time away from fast stuff to just build a base of strength and let all my tendons chill out. Then introduced one low volume submaximal sprint session weekly and progressed up from there as my body allowed.

@@ATHLETE.X pretty awesome way to approach sprinting. That's exactly I what I expecting to do to me. Become stronger and then add to it some explosion and peak velocity trainings for being a better athlete and as a result sprint lower times for 2 and one hundred metres.

Walking start, 2 point rolling start (like rolling forward while half crouched), falling start are some ideas

Only use spikes for max velocity. Other than that use normal trainers or flats. Spikes are hard on your feet and ankles and could cause shin splints to newer runners

yeah i've been having some issues with shin splints and achilles pain cause i've been using spikes every training day. What trainers/flats do you recommend @@ispgravy4233

I use spikes any time I’m running fast, but use the brooks to warm up, do bounds, etc. Im going to review the Antepes muscle runner soon, that might be a good hybrid option if you want something like a running shoe that’s designed for sprints. As time has gone on, I feel much more comfortable and less injury prone in spikes, but that’s taken years of sprinting. basically any time I sprint I’ll be in spikes.

@@___Troy___I use Nike Pegasus 39’s (I believe). Any running shoe/trainer is fine. Best not to be super concerned with trivial stuff like that. Try on some shoes at a local store if you can, whatever feels best for you will be the best for you

@@___Troy___also if you are getting shin splints make sure to foam roll and stretch calves (and ice shins if their is moderate pain). Also strengthen the calf and tib muscles, and do pogos for ankle stiffness and strength

Hey Ivan, unfortunately I am in Southern California now, otherwise I would definitely be down to meet up!

If you end up in Southern California, hit me up!

Im currently in Africa, im working on getting a visa. I need to change my location to really immerse myself in the character. To have a paradigm shift, if you know what i mean. Im fully capable of sustaining and surporting myself as my family owns a wholesale/retail frozen foods business and i also have a small business i run online. The only thing left for my visa is to get a sponsor, as i dont have family there and its required by the immigration office. If its possible for you to vouch for me that im coming to train with you its done. I need to do this, i dont want my talent to waste, as we dont have access to facility or training equipment like you guys. I know this sounds weird but if u just believe and take a leap of faith, our lives will change forever. I am already the fastest person alive i just need u to believe me and help me get down the technicality of sprinting

None in athletics season. My son played football last season (until April) he then ran 10.75 in the summer. Play football and sprint a couple times a week he went from 11.73 to 10.75 in a season doing that.

@@fatmansprinter oh wow 10.75 is fast. Right now tho I'm not really playing any tournament so would 1 or 2 leg sessions be enough? I sometimes do plyos also

As a former soccer player my main solution for regaining speed was different variants of stretching with the the toes pointing out. Helps to get rid of resistance that slow down the lifting of the leg.

From doing years of research, he’ll benefit a lot from doing 2 max speed days where he’s sprinting like a 30 yard dash or 40 yard dash 3 times each day. For the other days general strength and plyos are great complements at a low volume.

I’ve got my brother from 18.8 mph to 20.8 mph in 1 year doing this. He had to learn speed as a skill tho and I fixed his form

I think if you want to have better start do acceleration days just distance between 10-30m alternating starts like block start, falling start... and plyos like broad jumps.

@@borjajb yes I do acceleration days 2x a week within a distance of 30meters ...and I do plyos like power skips,bounding ,broad jumps as a warmup

@@Sohel---- first, plyos has to be after sprints, so plyos are high intensity exercises, you have to start warm up jogging 2min, doing dynamic stretching, then sprint drills (i recommend you a skip, b skip, and skipping, the basic ones, or if you want more specific do acceleration drills) then you do sprints (acceleration days i recommend you 3x10m, 3x20m, and 3x30m, resting 1min per 10m, so for 30m=3 min rest) and then you do plyometrics for acceleration that i recomend you broad jumps (2x3 rep), triple broad jumps (2x2 rep) and then you can do box jumps or squat jumps to increase vertical power, but that would be better on pure speed days, after the broad jumps i would do gym (squats and deadlifts are the most important), so that would be a good acceleration day, if you have more asks tell me.

Shoes are highly specific to the individual, so I’m not sure it makes much sense even for an elite athlete to make a video recommending a particular shoe. You just have to try a bunch of different brands/shoes and see what works for you. For any shoe out there: (i) There will exist some athlete who is going to run fast in that shoe; and (ii) There will exist a different, fast, athlete for whom that shoe doesn’t work, or causes injury.

@@jameshegeman5660Thats a good answer cause i just sprint in regular black nikes(non specific) and they work fine for me in maximal work!

I measure with a measuring wheel, I don’t use hurdle marks.

those are amazing times. love the content. thank you for sharing the knowledge

@@jamin634 thanks for watching and your kind words!
