Workout Wednesday: Inside Houston Sprints' Pre-Race Routine

[@norirak4829]

If you are an All American / All-State sprinter in high school and got a recruitment letter from the University of Houston. Don't even look at any other schools, who's going to give you more knowledge than Carl Lewis and Leroy Burrell??? It's like a dream team for track coaches, my goodness!!!!

[@pmue437]

First check if your Coach was a Doping cheater and then decide for your life.

[@Lustoleum]

@@pmue437 Dope or not, who knows more about sprinting? I’d rather take the best of the best.

[@pe.u.k3697]

@@pmue437 Get a life bro 😒

[@willhurley9863]

@@pmue437 u are a loser

[@OlympicSeason]

as a college athlete, i realized it doesn't matter if a coach has all the accolades they have (they certainly help with recruiting, but that doesn't mean that they're the best coach fit for you). It just depends on where you fit in as an athlete and where you see yourself succeed, and find the right program that meets your goals and needs. Maybe that program might be Houston, but you can succeed elsewhere and you just have to find a coach and program that fits your training.

[@daniella921]

I want more of their videos. These guys are people to watch in future sprinting.

[@mangohumilde244]

Daniella why not now?

[@pepsiman9840]

Coach: tells them dont try to win, just run fast Team: runs fast and wins anyways

[@danieldori8081]

Coach: Surprised Pikachu face

[@aryansaxena4978]

Love that advice though

[@ericchen6768]

Coach: damm it

[@ginalefranc5437]

When Coach Carl says "Run your own race" , he's quoting his Mom Evelyn Lewis. She was one of the best coaches ever!

[@bernarjayjackson2003]

Every coach says that bro..

[@isac4375]

@Sheila Phillip honestly I like track bc yes i try to win but really I’m just going against myself. When they say run ur own race I think they mean like race against yourself not the people,around u

[@RyuBlaze24]

Every coach says that bro

[@huyho8081]

u must be new to track. every coach says that lol

[@johnwhitfield5376]

They have two of the greatest sprinters in history on their coaching staff....They are gonna do great things..

[@bakrin23]

Those guys are explosive! If they'd taught us similar start and drive phase techniques in high school with emphasis on "power" boy would we have been injured very often.

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

Ya need "vitamins" hehe

[@dwightlove3704]

Freestyle Cheating!!!!!!

[@dr.robertomorenom.d.8351]

UH is lucky to have these two greats coaching their team!

[@jcccheung]

Carl Lewis is a boss!

[@dwightlove3704]

Deep Fried Water Want to see what UH does outdoors!!!!

[@tiolorun]

Hell of a Coaching Group! Leroy Burrell and Carl Lewis! Those boys must get that work in practice 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@DWN4MYN2]

Angel Torres couldn't ask for better coaching. Track Royalty

[@imkingthemanhimself6598]

Angel Carl Lewis is a drug addict that never gets caught

[@DWN4MYN2]

Drug addict or whatever...he knows how to sprint. Whatever else he does with his personal business is not your business or mine

[@martinmcgee1]

ah get a life.....yawnnnnnn!

[@thateburoniguy9058]

Angel Torres I was about to say!!!

[@anthonyjeter4643]

The coaching staff is LEGENDARY!!!!

[@Johnrap]

It must be great to go to a school where people care about track.

[@BossMandotnet]

This. Seen plenty quick guys in schools where no-one cares about track.

[@mr16325]

Just doesn’t bring in the money to care too much

[@soroyale7805]

Had I went to a school in Houston..I would be dynamite on track. The support there in TX is amazing.

[@auburnmann3630]

They do in Eugene!

[@utkarshsingh6096]

You guys have a track 😮

[@JK-vc7ie]

Carl Lewis has a little bit of credibility in this business. It would be kind of hard to say that your coach at UH doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

[@MrSnevets70]

Jason Kroll right!! Lol

[@dwightlove3704]

feltdog Lol

[@gmnboss]

Understatement of the year

[@dwightlove3704]

Kofi A Yes but don't forget the head coach LEROY BURRELL

[@charlesl.nemons3021]

Jason Kroll and Leroy Burrell,two coaches from former WR Sprint relay Olympic squad!

[@simon89889]

2:26 is a very impressive advice for me In 200m 100m 60m, if u want to chase the people faster than u in the race, ur body would stiff after 60m or even 30m when ur body raised. Then u will stiff and run much slower than ur training perfromance. However, it is very difficult for me to focus on only the land of mine. If some people run in front of me, it would sub-consciously look at him but lose my tempo... It's a simple but tough advice...

[@ThatBustedVQ]

fu liao there was one guy i would always lose to in the 100m from my region because i would panic and leave my drive phase way to early and break form, very true advice

[@grandwonder5858]

Advice: You have Carl Freaking Lewis hosting UH Track and Field and you don't put his name anywhere in the video's title? You would instantly get 1,000,000 more views right off the bat with that!

[@krepes8685]

Grand Wonder and Leroy Burrell

[@nicholesdad2136]

@Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this I did not know he was coaching anywhere. I thought he was running for public office.

[@dele1573]

This would be a dream come true to be coach by these 2 Legends

[@Johnrap]

Leroy Burrell and Carl Lewis are the coaches? That's amazing!

[@parkerjones6598]

Joe Williams is running 6.80 as a freshman, pretty good. He’ll probably be a 100/200 guy the rest of his Houston career, but I saw him run a 47.5 in Austin and it would be cool to see a relatively underdeveloped guy like him train to be a part of an All-American 4x400 squad (maybe one day it could happen though)...

[@MagerialPage]

As a distance runner, sprinting seems so intricate, no space to mess up so you have to hyper fine-tune your plan and execution.

[@paulg444]

Coach Carl, building an incredible team culture!! So proud to be an American right now !!

[@chrisjarman3379]

Lewis AND Burrell as coaches? DAMN!!!!

[@patrickobogo7779]

Run your own race. Best piece of advice cuts across the board in everyday life.

[@enochmatisse8199]

😉 Old School Santa Monica Track family right there...Burrell & Lewis. S/O to UH Track Squad, nice work!

[@ethanbates7734]

6.8 as a freshman is insanely good

[@mnash3]

This was pretty cool... I did not know that Flo showed Houston some love... Nice...

[@SauliensAS]

Warp- up routine's main purpose is: increase muscle tempeture without cousing CNS and muscle fatique... Especially, then it's Sprint event...

[@deolax1]

calm. get calm. calm wins the race.

[@shannongreen1520]

Leroy Burell looks like your favorite Social Studies teacher coaching track on the side.😁😁

[@peter_rasmussen]

An average sprinter from Houston just equalled Carl Lewi's 60m BEST (6,60s) Carl Lewis: "You weren't supposed to do that"

[@yousseffakir6650]

You are fortunate to be in the right continent and country💔good luck everyone⁦❤️⁩

[@markusgp]

Carl Lewis and Leroy Burrell?!?!

[@Ecojock]

Yes !!! The Coaching Staff at the University of Houston have earned 27 Olympic and World Championship GOLD Medals.

[@dwightlove3704]

Ecojock Dammn straight

[@TitanUnleashed7]

My coach back in jr high used to always tell us he saw a lot of Carl Lewis’ ass back when he raced cause Carl was always ahead 😂

[@cris89446]

Carl lewis and leroy burrell as coach.... what a marvellous thing... listen to every little thing they say

[@marthahollowell1550]

Great coaches. Im glad they are at Houston. Go Coogs!

What's the name of the song at the beginning?

[@JaySmith-rv4ro]

I’ve always ran my 60m very tight and very strong off the blocks. My 100m was hard off the blocks but loose and fundamentally oriented.

[@CN-xt7hj]

Great video👍🏽

[@ramonbeare8415]

Burrell and Carl Lewis are they're coaches! Damn

[@ru0008]

Song of the beginning ???? NAME PLEASE !!!!!

[@sprintcritic1749]

It's good to see Carl Lewis coach younger men. He can hold his head up today because he ran CLEAN races in his day.

[@Chancexoxo]

I know Carl Lewis is the man! Legend ...

[@nm9xk]

lmao they introduced leroy burrell like he was a backroom maintenance worker they subbed on cuz the real coach had a sick day.

[@toguluhulk5127]

You Can't fault talents, with Legend Carl Lewis's expertise and professional coaching level, do the extra hardwork, reap the rewards 👍👍

[@Cryoniczz11]

That’s dope how he PR’d TWICE in one day 😂💯

[@greggarey4811]

That's called good coaching and training and then executing in race day

[@grandwonder5858]

As a non-Power 5 Coogs are already kicking asses and dominating in every way! Just imagine what the Coogs could do as a Power 5! I guess that's why UT and A&M try so hard to keep the Coogs from joining the Power 5 since they know they have no chance in athletics against the Mighty Coogs!

[@albertoaguirre7114]

The hell with longhorns n aggies. Coming soon to the PAC-12 UH COOGS

[@syedmohdgulamasghar8809]

That looks so fun how can I sign up?😀👍

Heck yeah boi! UH always comes #1! Go Coogs!

[@alimouassil7445]

Oh SIR!!! Yes SIR!! Congratulations and thank you to exist! Thank you Karl LEWIS! Still the best you are at my eyes. God bless you!

[@TitanUnleashed7]

I wish they had a 60 meter dash in jr high when I ran. I was always ahead in the first 50 m cause of my fast start but some would eventually accelerate either past me or up to me if they could by the 90 m mark

[@trackstar7729]

What do you guys eat in between races?

[@dwightlove3704]

Hall tied with a guy named JAYLAN MITCHELL from North Carolina A&T in the 60 running 6.60 at the Clemson Purple&Orange meet.

[@TheSolution4Kickz]

A&T has some horses! Did you see their 4x100 and 4x200? They were obliterating the MEAC and made the rest of the country respect them in the NCAA championship.

[@dwightlove3704]

No doubt they made the NCAA stand on its ear last yr when they ran those SEC like times in the 4x1 starting at the regionals.Watch their 4X4 squad as well it features a diamond in the rough say hello to TREVOR STEWART he posted a pr of 45.48 he is a frosh!!!!!!

[@dwightlove3704]

The Solution!4Kickz As I said before look for A&Ts 4x4 squad they ran 3:04.75 in the MEAC 4x4 final.Hey made a CRAZY STUPID PREDICTION I SAID ALL THREE TEAMS ON THE PODIUM WILL BE UNDER 3:00 IN THE 4x4 FINAL LED BY SOUTHERN CAL IN 2:57.99 TX A&M 2:58.88 AND HERE IS THE KICKER NORTH CAROLINA A&T I PICKED THEM FOR THIRD IN 2:59.66 IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN NCAA LORE ALL THREE TOP FINISHERS WILL BE UNDER THE AFOREMENTIONED 3:00 barrier!!!!!

[@TheSolution4Kickz]

They will get better once high schoolers see them on the big stage and want to come there.

[@dwightlove3704]

The Solution!4Kickz A&T was on The Big Stage last yr in the 4x1 running against HOUSTON,AUBURN in the finals very anxious to see what they do this time?????

[@swaney3737]

What shoes are they wearing not the nike spikes? What kind if Nike's are they?

[@umaxi96]

Dynamic stretching - how does this help?

[@justrandom7752]

You know what they should make this kids do at least once a week? Squat, Bulgarian split squats and or lunges.They’ll get really fast even faster than what they are now

[@KNOWHOPE72]

Great to to see the Great Carl Lewis. Still looking good for his age and still a gentleman. It amazes me to see how rare it is to see a 100 m sprinter sprinting with the correct lower body biomechanics. Not one of these sprinters got it right.

[@esh8973]

dammm.. these guys look real good

[@kingabdalwakeel5406]

I’m planing to go to Houston university

[@Ecojock]

Do you plan to run on the team; What event?

[@Ecojock]

Louis Hobbs why are you going after the kid?

[@Ross_the_boss1]

University of Houston is a great school Louis Hobbs u suck

[@TheEphemeris]

The track program at Houston is outstanding

[@dwightlove3704]

Alex Smith Somebody said that Texas is jealous of UH because they will take over as a state power in track.

[@Pjaysusity]

Great video. Appreciated.

[@robfritz622]

Song at 4:32??

[@Rickmaki]

Carl Lewis as your Track Coach is like having Tom Brady as your Quarterback Coach..

[@OLCtv]

I really need to stop playing and get in some meets.

[@andrealacqui]

Carl Lewis and Leory Burrell. 80s & 90s track and field history in a nutshell!

[@strikingitrich7630]

A question to flotrack or anybody in the comments section. Where do I find a pair of made to measure spikes for sprinting. My feet are way to wide for nike and even Puma. Does anybody have any contacts?

[@mj-wu3fn]

In Jamaica we train on a grass field everyday and to the gym on some days. These training are far in advance!!

[@itsforthevlog2495]

May I have a coach like him😭😭😭
