I've never commented before, but I think you would make a very good coach. You seemed to have nailed the very important aspects of sprinting that may coaches, in my experience, lack.
You should try jogging like I do. It can be called amble-jogging since right arm moves forward as the right leg moves forward and visa versa. This way you get the torso rotating only in upper section while the lower part doesn't rotate. When you then speed up the pace into a sprint the normal arm leg-counterbalancing will reappear but the core movement will more or less stay the same as it did when slowly amble-jogging.
@@SimonShawk5 I'm 44 and I've never been faster. My typical session is "amble-jogging" for about 8-10 km. Halfway through I do one stretch/isometric exercise (can mail over drawings if you want). Then I do three sprints with amble-jogging in between. Slow acceleration when starting the sprints and to eventually reach top speed I extend my arms and narrowing them to get really powerful long steps (Carl Lewis style).
Could these work for say middle distance track? Also I am running Cross Country in high school so would it be counterproductive to be doing sprints and such? Also your super underrated you earned my sub👊
Thanks a lot, sorry for taking so long to respond! These absolutely work for middle distance track, probably with some exceptions. As a cross and middle distance runner you're gonna need to put in some higher volume training at some point. But training your speed, in my opinion, is literally the best thing you could do. Endurance is important but one of the real differentiators in my opinion between the good and great distance runner is max speed. It wouldn't be counterproductive at all to train both, just make sure you go into the speed training as fresh as you can manage, most likely as part of the warm up before your harder workout days 2-ish times per week
You mentioned endurance being a part of an athlete’s fitness. You being a 400m sprinter, what are you doing besides max velocity sprinting to set yourself up for success for fall training/indoor?
I am training a lot differently now than the time I was referencing in the video. I am doing a mix of max speed, speed endurance, and some 400m specific endurance-style sessions like 300s at goal 400m pace with 1 minute recovery and 360m hill runs with jog back recovery. I have a video documenting my training coming out today or tomorrow where you can see some of those details, and I'll probably make a follow up where I discuss my current training philosophy and plan. Thanks for your comment!
My opinion now is that slow eccentrics are something you could do as part of very early preparation, like the first 1-2 months of training, and then probably not mess with for the rest of the year. Plyometrics are pretty broad so it's hard to give a simple answer. Generally I think it's good to start with low level plyos at low volumes and slowly scale up volumes before slowly scaling up intensities. Because of tendon issues I basically do 0 intensive plyometrics right now and leave my plyometric work to sprinting itself and fast stretch shortening cycle lifts
That is very unfortunate. I know there are some science-backed things you can do to cure insomnia or at least help it, so I'd highly recommend doing some research, talking to a doctor, and watching Andrew Huberman's podcasts on sleep. I find them incredibly valuable
I actually have one out already, the thumbnail says missing link and the title is "this body part is killing your athleticism". I'd send the link, but RUclips comments don't allow links anymore
No specificity at all on how YOU did it, lots of great general knowledge but didn’t tell us what you did lol, like how much sprints at what distance and frequency
I give lots of specifics in other videos. Truly wasn't intending to withhold information. I sprinted maximally on average 2x per week. Did 3 for a while but I think that's too much, for most people I'd do 2 max velocity days and 1 acceleration day with a day off in between. I most commonly did a 30m build up into a 10m fly all-out. Some people can get away with 20m build-ups but it isn't far enough for me I assure you my intention is to give everything away for free, and if people like all the free value and just want the hard part done for them, they can pay for it. The only stuff I'm withholding is just stuff that would've made the video too long and boring. Anyway, please feel free to ask if you have other questions. I really do my best to be an open book

I appreciate that so much! That's what I've wanted to do for years so it means a lot to me
Sleep, recovery, and consistency is the most important when it comes to ANYTHING. Great tips!
Yes sir you've got it down. Thanks for watching!
Well done with detailing your program and what helped you! Awesome to watch.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it
Thank for your help. Keep it up💪
Absolutely, thank you for watching!
I wish I could 👍 this vid 1000x. The best few minutes summary for success out there 😎
You're too kind! Thanks for watching!

That's interesting, do you think it's brought you good results?

Great analogy about the importance of strong, healthy feet and ankles!
Thanks, it's one of my favorites!
Need a video on recovary how can we make our recovary and also about nutrition and diet plsssssssssssss
Your videoes are very helpful
I appreciate that, very glad to hear that they help!

4:19 damn that line is cool i am gonna use it to look good among my friends 😂
can you make a video going more into strength training and how you should do it (eg. the intensity, volume, rep ranges, lifts)
Yes it is actually on the way, should be posted before the end of next week. Thanks for your comment!
@@SimonShawk5 lets go thats great
going into the off-season i was looking to do some strength training but had no idea how i should do it

how would you program slow essentrics with plyometrics and all the other aspects of a sprint program

Insomnia sucks bad. Luckily my bad sleep hasn’t affected my performance yet but its definitely a big building block

@@SimonShawk5 I’ll definitely check out that podcast. It sounds interesting
For some reason, I have never even thought about the strength of the feet and ankles
Now's the time to start! Super good for injury reduction and performance improvements
can you make a video on exercises to strengthen the feet and ankles to get faster
I actually have one out already, the thumbnail says missing link and the title is "this body part is killing your athleticism". I'd send the link, but RUclips comments don't allow links anymore
@@SimonShawk5 thanks

Ah never mind your selling something, obviously wouldn’t just give away the sauce lol

@@SimonShawk5 👍👍 appreciate it, was just wondering what you did because training multiple athletes it’s cool to see what works for different people
