GREAT video again! you explained wayde's technique and movement in depth, this was really helpful thanks... can you analyse mo farah he is an AMAZING long distance runner and has a great sprint finish, it would be even helpful if you analyse him and thanks again!!

[@JPGloria]

Im glad you enjoyed the video! I'll try to do an analysis for him!

[@bxx7666]

One of the most amazing races of all time. Lane 8 world record

[@JPGloria]

B Xx I know...this race is so memorable and it was a complete surprise as well because people weren't expecting something like this as most people had their eyes on waiting for Usain Bolt to run

[@TheRollingBacon]

Insightful analysis as usual. However, I think it's also important to note that his initial form in the first 200m was very different from his last 100m. I understand that the camera angle in this video doesn't really allow for a clear form breakdown, but maybe you should note it as well?

[@sambatchelor4031]

The 400m is almost entirely anaerobic, there isn’t the time for oxygen to pass through the crebs cycle to re-snthesis the atp, while there is more aerobic than in the 100 or 200m there is still very little and not enough for breathing technique to be a significant point as it is mostly the pc then lactic acid system used (if it was significantly aerobic the lactic acid build up wouldn’t occur)

[@sambatchelor4031]

Other than that it was excellent video and very informative, thankyou very much

[@JPGloria]

I used to think it was more anaerobic too, but people have been doing some studies on it too. I also agree that utilizing the kreb's cycle is slower relative to using the the anaerobic process, but these processes themselves are super fast...otherwise we would run out of energy very quickly. Heres an article of one of the studies done to test it...the 400m still is more of an anerobic activity, but the split between aerobic might be closer than one originally thinks...its surprised me too! www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11194103

[@sambatchelor4031]

JP Gloria that’s very interesting thankyou, I knew it was slightly implicated but I didn’t realise it was to that extent, thankyou

[@georgetamkc]

My personal experience is that when it comes to the last 100m, how you breathe in the first 300m did count because all those oxygen you stored can help reduce the lactic accumulation

[@JPGloria]

@@georgetamkc that us true, thanks for the insight!

[@timothyjudge4807]

Good stuff overall, but the inclusion of pronation wasn't necessary since that's a bit of an unimportant detail in relation to running very fast if he has plain neutral pronation, which he seems to have.

[@JPGloria]

I agree! I was just trying to say pronation is a normal part of running, but yess....its nothing very unique as you'll see this in most runners!

[@bazleeshukri2743]

I dont understand about leg pronation

[@arathgomez615]

Can you analyze salwa eid Naser of Bahrain?

[@ahmetturgut6131]

Most beautiful/graceful running 👊❤

[@goldenhatdog]

Im amazing how he still owon even he was blinded to his opponents

[@Andrewza1]

Not amazing to me. Be blind to the rest means you have only one run to beat. That is you and you can all ways beat all self.

[@loknathkisan3341]

Can you make a video on tryvon bromell start up all details os his hand to legs, as well as hand distance, legs distance, block in the lane, and his body posture with video varitation

[@JPGloria]

Great suggestion!! I'll add him to the list and look into him!

Thanks for the footage! I appreciate it!

[@marcusconway4]

Thanks JP, this was informative and I learned some new things about the foot. I have noticed in the faster events the arms seem to be higher and higher than the middle and distance runners. Why is this?, Can you explain this with some videos of sprinters versus longer runner? Thanks

[@JPGloria]

Marcus Conway Great question! When sprinting at higher speeds, forces produced in the legs are increased, including the rotational forces as well. Based on what I said in the video, the arms will have to move more to counter that increased force. There are some other reasons why, but that's one of the main ones. Also, I was planning on making a video about that. Great suggestion!!

[@marcusconway4]

I fail to see from the veru distant video footage you can analysis and come to a conclusion his breathing is controlled?

[@ayushdiwakarsingh1697]

You are awesome.

[@JPGloria]

Thank you!! I appreciate it!

[@snoyLttocS]

Analyse the new Bekele!! Beautiful runner.

[@atahualpaarias1840]

I don't think the pronation was intended

[@michaeltheewolf]

Athing Mu next!!! 🤞🏾

[@fil7854]

nice

[@JPGloria]

Thanks man! I really appreciate the feedback!

[@loknathkisan3341]

Best blockstart analysis...

[@rameswarkisan366]

All details about block start, leg distance, body posture, hand movement, degree is legs. Please make a video on block startup.....
