Thank you for the very informative video. I have a young child (boy age 7) who has recently started to run with a group that promotes fitness and activity for kids. It’s not competitive just for fun and fitness. He is running a 1/4 mile race and he seems to enjoy it. My question, we were thinking of getting him involved with track and field as something to continue to keep him active. He is pretty fast but his form is needs work. What would you suggest for his age group to help work on improving running mechanics for sprinting? I don’t want him to develop bad habits. Thanks!

At his age, just continue to make it fun for him, and as you do, teach him the basic fundamentals of running.

Vanita Moore these drills are great for anyone that wants to gain speed, and better their acceleration. You can actually do these drills 1-2x a week. The wall and arm drills are reps of 10, and are completed 10 times (you call out a number 10x). For the rapid fire it is 3 x 5 seconds. Then all of the drills 2-3 x for 15-20m. Hope that’ll made sense.

Nice Video! My son is 11 and fast, and he pumps his arms nicely(once he gets moving)....I'm trying to teach him acceleration. It seems like the biggest thing in acceleration is the knee drive while a little forward. Is this true? Which exercises to you think are best for a tall lanky kid to accelerate?

[@coachwelly]

I have a video call 4 ways to improve acceleration. Take a look at that, and you may get an idea.

[@andreapin9233]

Great video. Thanks for sharing it. I have my son, who is 12yo, his running technique/mechanics is pretty poor, as he runs with straight legs and trunk. How do you improve technique and that mechanics element of running?

I have an entire series on the developing speed for all ages. About 8 videos. That will help answer all questions.

[@1ron4mbition]

I am a soccer player and want improve my speed.. But its difficult. I have soccer training 3x per week and 1 game. I heard you should atleast do 3 days of sprints and what about weight training? Any tips? Rest days?

[@coachwelly]

It depends on who you talk to. I recommend you don't do max velocity sprints 3 days a week, that would be a lot on your body. 2 max, and weight training you can execute 3 x a week. I have trained a few soccer athletes myself. You guys are the easiest to change, because you typically don't use your arms or lift your knees when running during soccer games.

3 days a week? Your pretty lazy. 5 days a week would be better especially for your age. And since you play soccer, most of your training should be learning how to play smarter rather than dumber.

How low should I stay in my acceleration phase? I’m fairly tall at 5’11 and I’m pretty much around a 45 degree angle, but I see other sprinters either go at a 60 degree angle or even 30 degrees. I know it’s mostly preference but I wanna know your thoughts. And how should I avoid “hunching” my back when I’m low? I try and keep my back straight but it’s hard because I feel like I’m gonna fall forwards lol

[@coachwelly]

45 degrees for the most part is ideal. You avoid arching by making sure your hips are forward and not behind your center of mass. The almost falling forward could have a lot to do with that added with, just speculating,but you are probably not popping your knee forward, or you are just leaning too far forward.

I need beginner help I started in indoor track this summer

[@coachwelly]

Meaning starting as a brand new track athlete?

[@cheesepuffgod]

@@coachwelly yea

[@perih3lion]

How many times per week do you suggest I do these? I'm thinking of doing more things outside of track sessions since my times are slow and that bugs me (12.5, 26.1 - I'm 14 and it's my first season)

[@coachwelly]

Just keep working. It's only your first year. 1-2 times a week is good.

[@bintinilador9061]

how many times a week ? is this effective to increase my speed? how many reps and sets?

[@coachwelly]

Puro kayo ganyan Yun lang alam mo 1-2 x a week. You decide based on what your purpose is.

i run a 22.01 in the 200 meters and my 100 meters is 11.10. i am a sophomore this year and i want to dramatically drop my time and I've notice i am not as quick out the blocks as i need to be and explosive. i started practicing in the beginning of this year and track is right around the corner do u have anymore tips u can give.

[@coachwelly]

That's actually pretty good for a sophomore. If you have video, I could take a look and see, what you can work on.

[@djcornbreadjr1563]

@@coachwelly its all good, i am senior now running 10.51 in the 100 and 45.05 in the 400.

I'm a 16 year old female and I've dealt with shin splints pretty much all season. Our very first track meet for the 100m my time was 14.11 and ever since I developed shin splints my time has been aroumd 14.34. I don't know rather it's just the shin splints that slowed me down or my technique. Do you have any tips or advice?

[@coachwelly]

Do you have any video I can see. There could be several reasons.

[@kattbandit5633]

@@coachwelly unfortunately I don't but my coach has been saying it looks as if I'm in pain when I run and it's been preventing me from going 100% at track meets. I thought the problem might have been my running shoes so I got new ones that my coach approved of and it was getting better but I still couldn't go 100%. So he let me continue running the 4×1, and 4×4 but took me off the 4×2.

[@coachwelly]

@@kattbandit5633 that could definitely be a part of the problem, but only part of the problem. I would need to see you run in order to give a true diagnosis.

Nice

[@coachwelly]

Thanks

[@tsteele1944]

great video but how many reps?

[@coachwelly]

minimum of 3, and you decided after that.

[@clox5738]

Got anything on starts? I ran my 2nd ever track meet today and I got 7.7 on a 55 on my 1st meet, but on this one I got a really bad start and finished last at 8.2, if you have something on starts can you pls reply to me a link? Thx and great video, it helps a lot

[@coachwelly]

Yes. I have a video called basic block starts. You should be able to find if you search my track and education playlist.
