Watching these in 4K is so clean 😎 thanks for the tips!

[@rishiramkissoon6976]

Thank you..great stuff and great timing (by algorithm=). I am working on this now

[@cadenzar8152]

Concise, to the point, and full of explanation, Thank You!

[@richardbrooks3253]

Cody, have you done a video review or what is your opinion on the freelap timing system? Have you found it beneficial? TiA

[@szymonjankowski1221]

Hi Cody! So I Have a question. Is taking few days off after PR appropriate?

[@ThePassionofSprinting]

Yeah I really try it since day one of sprinting 😂😂😂

[@pancakespushups4318]

What shoes do you recommend for sprinting on asphalt? Also why is there always a car alarm going off?

[@charlesoldroyd5378]

how do you set up your blocks

[@rishiramkissoon6976]

ever run/visit the Drake Relays?

[@normanpang9376]

Maxflys or superfly elite. Do the mayfly provide substantial advantage bc of air pods and stiff carbon fiber plate? Thanks

[@burrito1413]

Yes totally, I feel like I’m flying when I’m using them

[@g.dalfleblanc63]

I notice you have a long arm strike, do you think this is slowing you down? An elbow at a 90 degree angle is a short lever, Bolt has a 90 degree elbow arm strike.

Just started track I run a 13.5 lmao but I notice that rise after 5 meters honestly

[@energyzer_bunny1913]

Is foot down directly under your center of mass when you accelerate out of the blocks ideal?

[@ATHLETE.X]

Approximately, yeah. You can aim for under the hips 👍🏽

[@chinocoffee9565]

@@ATHLETE.X Behind or right under the center of mass is better?

[@kareemlawson5755]

What about max velocity

[@lemengonzalezsantamaria7682]

Subtitules?

[@Josepowerzoro]

So let me ask a question : do you want triple extension the first 3 steps or the whole acceleration phase?

[@ATHLETE.X]

It’s going to vary between athletes. Full extension is fine but many athletes have poor timing where they keep trying to extend too long and don’t switch to hip Flexion soon enough. Basically they “over push”. The extension should occur naturally, it shouldn’t be forced. And often many top sprinters will not fully extend the knee after the first few steps of the sprint. Once again this isn’t intentional, it’s a result of applying force at the right time and then bringing the back leg forward at the right time.

@@ATHLETE.X thank you 🙏

[@Bigz4ch87]

Is a standing start much slower than a block start? I have almost no experience in blocks, wondering if I'd be running a lot faster if I learned how to use blocks as opposed to standing starts. Cheers!

[@ATHLETE.X]

At first it may not be faster, but long term you’ll have much faster starts after learning to use blocks. Check out my channel, I’ve got a recent video on how to set them up.

[@Bigz4ch87]

@@ATHLETE.X Right on, makes sense. Thanks man!
