Can you please start a skills share course?

[@elijahebbert6884]

Ayyy the videos are back, let's go

[@bui340]

If one think about having the foot dorsiflexed it also helps with proper landing underneath the body

[@prod.Radiant]

very very very true... I found my starts improved ten fold by ONLY thinking about dorsiflexion. It pretty much let everything else flow. I already had a pretty decent foundation with accelerating though, so this isn't an end-all-be-all

The 🐐 of Track and Field content is back

[@jorgebarroso3367]

Crazy how you're still putting out quality content despite your issues with moving. Big shoutout Cody!

[@theonlyali2645]

Glad to see your back after all that happened to you Cody

[@yamcohen9749]

Thank you so much for this video 🙏 acceleration is my struggle with sprinting .

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

I like 'torso/core projection' and maybe shins paralell to the torso most of the time. It's a skill to controll a falling forward position without losing tension/power or stumbling. I think we really have to be powerfull from the core (pelvis/lumbar spine) to accelerate well. It works much better for me to just focus on a strong/powefull core but not thinking too much about limb movement (legs/arms). As you said the touchdown positions are important but i don't like to focus on them because it takes away the so important core focus. The proper positions/angles should follow naturally. Just steering the core in the direction you want to move.

Could you also make a video about the transition from acceleration to top speed?

[@vishaalramesh7]

Thanks a lot for this video man. I saw your other video which also focused on this with the cue of keeping an acute angle. I'm overstriding a lot during my sprints. Hope this helps during practice. I'm in my GPP and got 8 months of practice before states

[@dmitrijsmohoviks1567]

Man, I'm totally impressed by your analysis and video demonstration! 👏 Great content accessable to the public, not only for elite athletes! You are going to be a legend. 👍🏆🏃‍♂️

[@alissonbrazilianrunner]

Thank you very much for the tips.

[@ParadiseChamp]

Hey Cody, will you please make a video on what sprinters and elite Olympic sprinters should eat to sprint faster? That will totally help out the sprinter world fo help them sprint faster. Thanks! 😀

[@Mangersainement]

Thank you and This is easy advice to apply

[@philipgardiner6744]

Hi Cody, try keeping the elbows flexed more on the back swing. Allow you to implement the forward motion faster and slightly earlier.

[@SunnyHonexHD]

Jacobs start would be a perfect exemple.

[@gerardkoima8413]

Thank you

[@michaelpetrus19]

Is there a way to train the body to adopt that angle at the start like sled or hill training? Or is it just a matter of trying to adopt it through practicing the angle while sprinting? I just ran my first 200M event about 6 months ago & this is all a little new to me at 61......Thank you

[@gregorysweeting2512]

I concur with you. Like Carl Lewis always say put your feet down.👍

[@JohnSmith-dv9tg]

Hello to you dear athlete. Out of curiosity what's your weight ? Thanks for all the golden infos

[@RMGSFTS11]

is there some drills to help learn the technique and if yes can you name them . Thank you

[@bergkampdennis5673]

what seconds for your 30m 60m and 100m?

[@europaeuropa3673]

Just curious. How fast can you run in Miles/Hr on a self propelled sprinting treadmill? I can't run faster than 16 miles/hr on a self propelled treadmill.

[@Christian-se5si]

A cue that helped me is to kick my feet back

[@andrewhall6695]

When Jamaicans run their toes curl under on landing and one can see the impression of their toes through the shoes

[@philipgardiner6744]

Dorsiflexion is the best technique. A lot of sprinters tried copying the Jamaicans, without success.

[@andrewhall6695]

Jamaicans also walk that way naturally and u can see the impression of there feet through the shoes

[@philipgardiner6744]

I was referring to pointing the toes down i.e. plantar flexion during the early drive phase, Andrew.

[@coondous]

KZbin is the best website/app because of people like you. I wish i had this guidance when i was younger.

[@ATHLETE.X]

Thanks Matt. Very kind of you!
