Dwight the_artist I’d like to see you do a track workout

[@Sk0lzky]

Sounds like exactly every single technique in the world. You can trip trying to sit on your couch when you're fatigued (both mentally and physically)

[@criscrosxxx]

That separates the champions from the lot

[@trackgrad08]

It’s not, that’s why you overemphasize in training so when the real thing comes, you’re breakdown (or fatigue) can still be efficient technique enough to get you to the line.

[@Watkinsstudio]

De Grasse's PBs are 9.91/19.8. Post injury, his competition is simply faster than he, running 9.7s/19.5. Yet he never improved his start, thereby giving up an easy way to better his PBs.

Sprinters don't seem to be that buffed like in the past, or maybe it is just me.

[@clawsoon]

More effective testing for performance enhancing drugs, perhaps? Or maybe more targeted and intelligent use of them?

[@rustinonthevine]

They might have figured out that bigger muscles are more weight to carry

[@jessestinson3485]

Different training, as athletes got better regimes due to more people looking at the sport, which means more money overall.

[@shahid8545]

Question... the training on grass.. what's the wisdom there? Softer on the knees?

[@trackgrad08]

Yes. Less shock absorbency.

They didn't say, but did mention that it increased throughout the drill. You can probably google and find some recommendations for setting up a similar drill.

The form on some of these people shows the coach can’t coach 45 people but a select few

[@KiLLED5639]

I'd like to know which instances you're talking about.

[@Hengel_Andrews]

KiLLED5639 how is 45:1 a workable ratio for athlete to coach individual attention? These athletes aren’t a team, no one is here to sacrifice their development for the greater good or team dynamics. So again, how is 45:1 workable? There was a female athlete who looked a mess going over the wickets, but who cares, UJah and DeGrasse get the attention.

I wish someone properly coached running/sprinting in my town when I was growing up. The only physical activity I was good at (and liked). Besides beating the fuck out of people that is, but for some reason 100m was almost as satisfying xD
