Incredible explanation on how to develop and enhance our biomechanics. Also showing those drills in slow motion is supreme. There are so many videos out there, but the how to is mostly missing or misleading. Thank you for sharing this! Phenomenal work!
@@OutperformOfficial I've always been into track but never ran track but watching this video make me want to start running track at 42 year's old. I have a nephew that run track and it's interesting to see the exercise they do by watching your video
I tried these drills for a month thinking it won't do anything and man was I wrong. I played soccer recently and just blazed everyone, no one can catch me
We tried some of these yesterday. Was quite difficult for us. But we gonna try again tomorrow because we're trying to get fitter and stronger and its fun learning new things with ya twin. Thanks for tips!
I've set records running track in my younger days but always felt I was capable of being better. I've done these drills many times but never really knew the purpose of them or if I was doing them right. Great video!
What an absolutely amazing run coach, you cannot get much better at conveying and teaching then this. Just wonderful explanations, the over emphasis on form and reps to avoid injury, just awesome. As an older guy now who still very much enjoys running and sprinting the expertise is top notch. Extremely thorough and makes me wish I had a coach like him when I was tearing up the track in my youth. God bless you coach.
CJ said it all. I really believe off season helps you focus on things that will help you when competition begins! My kids play soccer and I can’t wait to have my kids practice these drills. Thank you guys for sharing theses drills.
Love that! Couldn't agree more. You're very welcome Kevin. FYI we made a course with Ken focused on multidirectional sports like soccer for speed, agility etc. Great for young athletes. If you want to check it out ruclips.net/video/6yZjc0NWUEc/видео.html
This is really good content I started get into track now at my early 30. I’m running 12 with this knowledge I will reach high 10. Thanks for this page which I could have this 12 years ago
This was really helpful, thanks! I'm a gymnastics coach looking into drills for my girls' 10m vault sprint, this video was clear and easy to understand :)
X pollination production channel is one of the best channle of athletics i love to see the video of X pollination production... keep going X pollination production ❤❤❤❤
There are other basic steps to take for beginners, like just walking with toes forward and proper forward and back arm action keeping eyes focused on a point in the distance. Keep it simple for starters.
Unfortunately, I had no benefits of access to instructional RUclips videos nor professional coaches when I was a younger athlete. Even training very much on my own, I had clocked an unofficial 10.52 sec in 100m sprint. If I knew all these sprint drills, I could surpass that PB of mine. God knows. Thanks for sharing a great video.
As I'm a beginner I hve some queries like ..these drills can be done on ground or hard surface (track, terrace ) ?? Would u suggest safe preactions for beginners to avoid lower body injuries(knee, joints,etc) some do's & don't.
Curious about the drills. We did many of these in my track days (your explanations are fantastic, BTW), but do they convey to middle distance running or are other types of drills preferable?
Appreciate the kind words. A and B skips are very applicable to longer distance running and I know a lot of elite 800m to 5k and even marathon runners that practice them at least once a week. The other drills in this video are more sprint specific. For the most part endurance runners would derive more benefit from strides, interval training/speed work and stability training that mimic the specific hip angles and positions of distance running.
@@OutperformOfficial thanks the vid.I’ve seen many vids on ABC drills but they never broke it down to distance specific.Your suggestion for distance runners is what I always suspected and applied with great success but I often wondered if I was missing out on the sprint specific ones.Thanks for the insight,much appreciated.
Hey guys really appreciate the video. Just a quick question. How would I go about eventually implementing this into my actual sprinting. Is there a certain method or will my brain just start to make sense of it?
Outstanding question! The real benefit with these drills are the changes that take place in nervous system. By practicing proper movement patterns with these drills prior to sprinting, you are training your body and subconscious to naturally hit the right positions (foot strike, arm movement etc.). You can't think your way through the sprint. Great technique is developed by 1000's of reps until it becomes automatic. That is why it is so important to focus during the warm-up and not just go through the motions.
@@OutperformOfficial Omg ok, this makes a ton more sense. I pulled my hip flexor, but once I’m back I am doing this every single day. In the leagues I play in, I am already among the few fastest players in all of the teams, however I want to become #1 and really push my limits. Your channel has the best videos about improving sprint speed. (I play soccer by the way ⚽️)
@@primepete Thanks for the kind words. It's great that you are already one of the fastest players, but it's also great that you want to continue improving and pushing your limits. Another advantage to these drills is that they will strengthen the hip flexors and should help prevent future injuries. Good luck in your training and on the soccer field!
Thanks Robin! The first example is a just a slight variation of the drill. Both styles are effective as long as the key technical elements are there (90° angles, ground contact etc.) The first athlete (Warren Fraser) likes to do that drill both ways, starting with switching feet in the air and progressing to both feet.
I like the straight leg bounds and just lifting your knees up and putting them down the correct way. I'm trying to be able to run fast though, not dance.
Try fence/wall drills where you get to the hard post and progress to someone holding your shoulders as you gradually march forward in place until you are upright.
Would you put these drills in a frontside mechanics category? If so, do you have any tips/videos for backside mechanics e.g. what happens after ground contact, you want to cycle the leg forward as fast as possible to attack the ground again, right? Any drills for that?
While they help develop frontside mechanics these are foundational drills that develop several different aspects of the sprint (arm action, torso position, foot contact etc). The one, two three drill in this video is great for what you are talking about. Stay tuned as we'll be posting more videos in the future that will go further into your questions.
What's the difference between the speed progression course and the sprinting course I see on your website. Two different coaches. Which would be best for 60m/100m? Thanks!
Difficult to say as each course has a ton of great content, both would be good for 60/100m. Speed Progression provides great detail as far as building a training plan for the year, what type of training is done in the different phases and how to progress your training etc. Each coach has their own unique technique and training philosophies, you can watch some sample chapters on our site to get a feel for each class. You really can't go wrong with either one.
We're going to be releasing a new sprinting master class this month that has tons of great information on workouts and training progression for 100m & 200m. Stay tuned!
some people tell me that the same people go in 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters. Whose timing is very good without training. so tell me what is the timing of a good athlete 100m 200m 400m for 16 year without training.
Depends on the athlete, where they are in their training cycle etc. However a good starting point is 2 x 20 meters for each. If you have specific issues i.e. you need to work on dorsiflexion and ground contact then doing 4 x 20 meters for A-Skips is an option. As a general rule you want to stick to 20 meters and focus on quality vs quantity.
Hello Jacksy, all of our sprinting courses and videos on youtube work for both men and women regardless of age. So check out the other sprinting videos on our channel home page.

As with most things in life genetics is certainly a factor. However, don't let that limit your belief in yourself and what you can achieve on the track or in life. There have have been plenty examples of athletes that have achieved great things with average genetics. Surround yourself with good people, work hard, work smart and enjoy the process!
Yes, in fact this is a sample from Coach Harnden's sprinting Master Class. You can check it out here outperformsports.com/product/sprinting-smarter-speed-progression/
Yes, especially the a skips and b skips. Great to do before your speed workouts. You don't need to do them as often but they will help with your mechanics and kick at the end of races.
I am 18 i want to get into sprinting.....how can i?......plz answer..i am a former 100m skater,,...or sugges a playlist from scratch to pro.....there is no time limit for me............i can give i 7 years.....plz answer sir.

Postural endurance drills 👀Great Detailing 🔎👍 how often we need pratice (sets * repetition per week) for beginners plz le me know
A skips are one of the best drills you can do and should be part of your daily training. 2-3 sets at 15-20 meters.
