How to Start - Introduction. Standing, Crouch, 3-point and Blocks - all you need to know.

Do you want to know how to start faster? Do you want to know how to start a running race? All you need to know to get started (excuse the pun) is right here.

- Standing start
- Crouch start
- 3-point start
- Block start

These starts cover all the races you'll ever do and we have tips for each. Obviously, the shorter the race, the more important starting technique becomes. Sprint start technique takes a long time to master, with it being a element of a 100m race you simply can't do without doing well.

For more detailed description of these starts, how to do them yourself and how to properly execute them with good technique we have a host of other videos, just check them out. Athletics starts positions and techniques help us get the races under way well and establish a pattern for the remainder of the race.

Get Faster, Faster.

Do you need to have your dominant foot in front or in the back?

For the men's 100m hurdles, 8 steps to the first hurdle, is the first step shorter than the next 7? In watching one video it looked like the first two steps were shorter than the next 6. Thanks for any info.
