Secrets Elite Sprinters Do That You Probably Don't

————————————————————————

I’m Justin, a S&C Coach. I help athletes run faster 40 yard dashes & short sprints

I’ve helped multiple athletes 4.4 in the 40yd. I’ve also trained Division 1 soccer, basketball, football & track athletes.

Here is proof of my results and who I have trained:

You’re channel is a masterpiece, thanks for all those videos. I started sprinting 3 months ago and you’re really helping me

I tried the first one, and i couldn't believe how i was feeling during drills and sprinting.
Starting from drills i felt like i had so much more power and also in sprinting, felt like i could put way more force into the ground just by driving the arms back instead of forward and up.
Now, a day later i have so much doms in my shoulders, arms and traps lol... oh yeah and also i have doms in the glutes.. what the hell
I'll try it again tomorrow!

Making yourself rest between reps is the hardest part of a sprint workout! Sprinters just wanna go. I don't know if I could ever get to 16 minutes of rest between each 80-yard sprint, but I will try to increase my waiting time. Incidentally, you are probably the best YouTube sprint coach -- and so young! (I'm 72.)

Started my sprint journey a couple months ago. I have goal of running sub 11.
First timed 100m - 12.53
In three months I managed to get down to 12.24
The month after that I wasn’t able to beat my fastest time for some reason.. I was getting frustrated and thought I had maxed out.
Then one day I saw some guys at the track and asked if they wanted to race. We raced and I ended up getting a PR 11.89.. I was like no way cause honestly it felt easy lol
I’ve never been able to run that fast during my solo practices
It just goes to show that competition helps so much

[frankgarde]

thank you very much, my doughter 13 year old are following your suggest. We are from Italy and we apreciate very much all your contents.

Every single one of these tips is SPOT ON! Great video!

You forgot the 16 bananas a day diet of Yohan Blake in his prime! He is not the 2nd fastest human ever for nothing!

[pepwin]

Yeap, 💯 exactly how I did it in high school on all points. 10.6 -100m; 14.03 -HH; 47.3 400m; 21.4 200m.. Probably should have continued but only ran two years

Not a sprinter. A baseball player, thank you, this tips are gold and I did everyone of them wrong. Hence im a slow/average runner, but I'm gonna practice this. Another thing not landing under my center of mass (because my dad always told me to try to get longer strides) I fucked up my hamstrings. and till this day I still hurt my hamstrings while sprinting.

Stomping the ground sounds like a quick way to injury, force and running makes sense together and especially since I loved juking growing up, bc you plant your feet hard when you’re juking somebody but I think there’s a better way to explain it than, slamming or stomping your feet onto the ground.

Being that a lot of runners run on asphalt most often, there’s kind of a balance.
I’m no expert at all, I’m just giving my life experiences and some things I’ve picked up from other fantastic runners, that’s are way ahead of me atm and are also older than me

[edwardmaes]

Bro you are so right. If I don’t time myself I don’t improve and if I do I run like every training a little bit faster

[MichaelNelson-rtdu]

I never heard of that before sprint 10 meters then rest 2 mins. That's new to me but you learn something new every day.

Great tip on the relaxation (especially of the face & neck) + the need to time yourself and race others. Too many athletes THINK they are good based only on their own opinions. You have to get pushed by others aka Steel sharpens steel. One other thing - the arm swing in interesting, but I always recommend letting your arm do what they do naturally (after all other changes). If one has to think about them - then they are probably not moving naturally.

The pictures with you vs Knighton illustrates what you saying pretty well

[paulgeorge]

first point i think the key is swinging down so u "push" the body down rapidly, like before a jump

[justutlilizelevers]

Food is also important! Red beets, coconut water etc

[tombryantjumpscoach]

I think 2 minutes between 40s is a lot. I got fast playing both ways in Saturday touch football playing both ways. I got very fast just from football. I'm thinking of the amount of time between plays. All other info in this video sounds very good to me. I'm coaching H.S. pole vaulters and will save and refer back to this vid in March.

back when I was in high school we trained the 200 meter repeats for an 800 meter, and our goal time beginning of the year was 30 seconds. By mid season our goal time was 27.5 seconds, and by the end of the year your goal time in the 200 meter repeats got down to 25 seconds. In competition we would often try and do a pace close to 26-27 seconds per 200 meters, that's about where we wanted to be in the first lap. 2nd lap... just do your best lol. Timing is super important, that's my point. I'm just long winded in explanation. Great video and explanations, cheers.

Gymnasts running along the run way best illustrates the hammer/nail analogy.

So I've been doing plyometrics for a while. You said for every 10m, 2 min of rest. So lets say I did 10 jumps, how many minutes of rest do you think I should take?
