Yup this is correct. Same thing my coach taught me (he has 9th best time in marathon in Croatia history)

Simple and straight to the point.✊🏾

Kids listen up! He knows his stuff for sure.

Efficient & Relax ✅ Keep shoulders down (loose✅) Don't have flabby wrists (knife hands✅) Different Variables if you can keep a knife hand ( C- with hands or Okay sign)✅

Super technical point for sprinter harm action Thanks to coach

Fantastic video. Started off simple to explain the philosophy and then explained your technical points.. Keep up the great videos. Subscribed.

I used to run really tensed and uptight maybe a little shrunk. Outgases faster and i was slower. Running more relaxed was a big win.

The thump and forefinger technique he showed is what I have always taught distance runners. Keeps hands relaxed. Chin and shoulders relaxed, get the elbows back. Excellent presentation Coach Chris.

When I move my hands so fast I feel like inside the fingers bloods hotter and I don't know why

Thanks a lot I play soccer and obviously I slow dont know why now i know how to move arms and relax shoulders I dont need anything more I am gonna be fast

This truly worked at it's best i got a 6 second 50m

That's the one secret I want to find out overcoming the arm speed limitation to actually move them fast...but it's strange because they have shorter movement path and no weight to overcome and they are moved by both are and chest and back muscles and driven by kinetic chain from hip to core... so why that bottleneck or limiting factor can't be overcome is beyond me for most of us the very slow arm frequency is the biggest obstacles let alone using them to drive past the early drive phase ...instead of trying to figure out how to stop them killing your momentum going forward... so please 🙏 do help figure this one out... for me that's my only obstacle for accessing heavy and big heavy gears...

You are right

Very nice

Hi in the action of sprinting should you speed up the arms or slow down the arm follow the rhythm of the legs say slowly?

Thanks

Great content!

Can anyone give me advice for keeping arms bent, I’ve switched up my form a lot but I always seem to get into a habit of not bending my left arm when running

Do my hands have to be open sometimes i notice that i begin to make a fist when sprinting

Wrong - the straight hand is causing tension, just like the clinched fist! The only solution for sprinting is a loose hand position.

Oh yeah? Well, tell that to Andre De Grasse. Not only do his wrists flap about but so does his whole right shoulder! And he's run the 100 metres in 9.69 (windy) and 9.75 (windy). But I jest. But seriously coach, most of your advice is good. I'd say it's not the key to sprinting better but it is a strong contributor. Pumping the arms forward at 90 degrees to your body helps to lengthen stride and promote stability and steering (ability to change direction). As race distance increases, how far forward the arms pump should reduce, to increase efficiency. Lastly, some athletes control their wrists by pointing with their index finger and thumb on each hand. This a psychological positive reinforcement mindset action which supports all the comments I've just made.

Wrist braking = more drag penalty

Why do all the Olympic athletes clench their fists like Coleman, gatlin and sometimes bolt then?

I'm still gonna run 20s on a 100

that is so helpful!!!!!!!!

OK :)

My arms swing straight for the first 30m of a 100m, how can I fix this?

If the arms get put in then so should also the chin and legs. Changing only one thing makes no sense. Video is ok though

How can I improve my start
