How Is Abby Steiner So Fast?

[@patrickdnyc4129]

Solid breakdown. Seems her arm swing is effective as well. One other noticeable trait with Abby is how stable she is. Her torso and mid-section are super stable, which is rare. Only super elite sprinters and hurdlers can do this. Stable core and midsection, combined with alignment, translates into efficiency. Good stuff man. Subscribed!

[@JeeGo-Aries-King]

Zero wasted motion...she runs like a robot. If she ever moves her legs as fast as she does her arms....watch out Jamaica 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Onlyrealmusic4life]

yeah that's what i noticed when she made that turn at 0:41

[@americanmade4791]

Wish I had read this before I commented. In motion she is distinctive. Her shoulders seem to swivel more and harder than others. Is that part of it?

[@grega3611]

It’s strength. She’s just stronger than the runners she beats.

[@Mr..G]

Everybody can stop with the arm swing and technique nonsense. Organized track and field has been around since 776 BC. If there was some miracle technique that produces super fast athletes, it would not have taken 3000 years for someone to discover it. Every former and current world record holder runs different. They don't use any one ideal technique. What many runners like Abby Steiner have discovered is how to use PEDs without being caught. To be honest it's not hard to do. As a former Army Master Fitness Trainer and multi sport athlete, I have seen it all. She doesn't even come close to passing the eye test. She is too thick and to cut to be natural. Female bodies are not designed to look that way naturally. Even female bodybuilders can only achieve that look with the help of testosterone or various forms of HGH. The governing authorities know this, which is why doping is legal in that sport. If not noone would watch. Abby ilike others are also using, but unlike bodybuilding doping is not legal in track and field.

[@copster_]

Awesome breakdown. I also agree with some of the comments below about her atypical arm swing. I also think it helps her to maintain a solid, clenched upper body so she can commit and focus any extra energy to her legs. I hope she maintains her run style; if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Subscribed.

[@Relayer6a]

I agree. I'm not T&F expert, but even I saw that she simply moves her legs faster. And she doesn't fade. She seems to actually pace herself even in a shorter race. She stays close and then in the last 50 to 100 meters she changes gears while the rest of the field is fading.

[@VIEWITIS]

All her carriage muscles are tense throughout the race with pelvis fixed forward almost floating above the balls of her feet, unlike the relaxed, rear-rotated pelvis of Ofili whose feet are chasing her pelvis. Ofili is just very naturally fast and can rely on conditioning to be competitive but probably hasn't come close to her full potential because it hasn't been necessary. Kaitlyn Tuohy also has a lazy phenom posture and relies on natural gifts instead of deliberate training and control, so I'm curious if Steiner's training process would produce better results for distance runners as well.

[@Nodrip79]

Definitely on something

[@psychohist]

@@VIEWITIS High stride frequency burns more energy. That's okay at sprint distances but for long distance running, the energetic inefficiency is problematic; for distance racing the efficiency of a longer stride distance wins.

[@brucepitts4578]

Michael Johnson had a similar stride. Keeping his steps close to the track...Would love to see you compare the two, because he also ran torso straight up.

[@michaelboyd4446]

Bruce Pitts you are certainly most definitely correct with your statement about Michael Johnson totally agree with it you are very observant great statement

[@MyContestPix]

Abby's right leg is what gets her that extra foot per stride. In the 200, watch the last 25 meters as she pushes off the left foot which allows her to high stride with the Right. No one else can do that which is why out in the open she will run anyone down if she has enough runway.... At 0:18 seconds these 3 runners are side by side. Then within the next second Abby is a foot ahead, then 2 feet ahead etc. She actually is pulling away and wins. You need to stop the video and watch her Right leg as she extends it past 16 seconds. See high high it is?? By lifting her leg completely horizontally she gets extra distance in her stride. Everyone else is taking short choppy strides. So with the same amount of effort she is running further and it's all in the long stride length. That's why she always seems to start out slow as she hasn't gotten into rhythm, but when she gets her legs in form she smokes the field assuming she has enough runway left. The left leg takes shorter strides as it propels the right leg. It's almost a stutter step with the left leg. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnu8goJnZ6Z_Z9U&ab_channel=NickRoberts Not sure about injuries but to get high strides you are basically running straight up. Michael Johnson ran this way and he set a bunch of records.No one could catch him so it's a valid technique that many people can't do because it requires a lot of upper body strength (notice she's always pumping her arms) and discipline to maintain your form and not tire yourself out. As an ex-runner, it's so easy to take short strides, but you tire yourself out at some point and your breathing is Not controlled which is another thing Abby does so well. She's hardly winded at the end becuase she taking deep breathes as she strides. thus maintaining her speed... It's a thing of beauty!!! If someone were to analyze how many steps she takes in the 100m/200m (both right and left legs) and break that down every 10 meters I’m fairly confident she’s take less steps than her competitors and for every Right step her distance is as long or longer than her competitors and she has more of them. Also, willing to bet she takes less steps with her Right leg vs her left leg, which is the power leg. So, if you are taking less strides overall and get more distance, you should win the race assuming everyone else is expending the same amount of energy and their leg turnover is about the same. It’s all about how efficient your body uses the energy you have and not waste it by going out to fast. Those that don’t waste their energy but convert into propelling themselves forward will outclass those that don’t!!! Usain Bolt was never that fast out of the gate, but watch his long strides as he ran down people in the last 10 meters. Same with Abby!!

[@eechaze12]

@@MyContestPix Your analysis are on point. Sounds like you might be a trainer. I'm by no means an athlete but I wondered why many athletes did not copy Michael Johnson's efficient technique. MJ broke the record and stood upright hardly exhausted. It's very efficient. But you kind of touched on that . It's easy to see that Abby is running straight out of the textbook maximizing her gifts and it works for her .

[@patrickio8084]

@@MyContestPix Unless she stumbled or got cocky and did a single leg hop to showboat a pending victory, the amount of strides per race would either be equal or 1 or possibly 2 less (if her 1st stride out of the blocks and her last stride to cross the finish line were the same leg) than the other leg. Bolt had unequal stride lengths. Humans aren't symmetrical. Take a really close look at people's faces and you may notice one eye lower than the other.

[@gregorylagrange]

Haven't seen video of her early in her career yet, but here her arms come across her body a little more than the other runners. Her arms have a somewhat defensive strike motion to them. Like she's knocking a purse snatchers arm away with each stride.

[@JJ8KK]

I think that's the key to her stride frequency. "The arms drive the legs" I'm thinking she once upon a time was determined to increase her stride frequency and discovered that the key was shortening her arm swing as the way to increase her stride frequency.

[@DrHook1]

@@JJ8KK Marion Jones ran totally different, and she was much faster. The same is true for Kelli White, Flo Jo, Marita Koch, Dapne Schippers, and the entire Jamaican team. But what they all have in common including Abby Steiner is that they all are or were cheaters.

[@ohedd]

Interesting breakdown. I didn't realize that in sprinting short contact times were key, but it makes sense because while a bent leg gets more range than a straight leg, all that range doesn't help a sprinter because you're moving too fast. In the throwing events it's the opposite; you want longer contact times with the ground because it's only when you have contact with the ground that you can accelerate the speed of your implement. That's the key difference between running/jumping and throwing - running/jumping optimizes for accelerating the person, whereas throwing optimizes for accelerating the implement.

[@gabe9125]

It's a balancing act. More ground contact time means you have longer to push off of the ground, therefore more forward force. But if you have a lot of ground contact, then your legs just aren't moving as fast and you aren't taking as many strides. So Abby Steiner is strong enough that she's producing the same amount of force as her opponents with shorter stride mechanics and therefore less ground contact. So compared to her competition, she's taking more strides without sacrificing power output, which means she just goes faster. It's a great example of an athlete knowing, understanding, and using their anatomical and physiological advantages to blow away everybody else.

[@movievaudeville]

Thanks for the analysis. As has been said here, it's easy see her turnover rate is faster than others but the mechanics of it is fascinating. edit - the other thing I notice is how different her arm mechanics are. At the gun she keeps them really low, almost straight-armed, and depending on the distance she will stay with that. Slightly longer distance she brings them up a little but they're still controlling her cadence and it looks like she keeps that core stability by crossing them in front, minimizing twist.

[@musicmania1959]

I am sure and I mentioned this earlier. Distance covered is a product of frequency of striding and length. In the 100s she sacrifices length for frequency. In the 400 relay she had both frequency and length of stride which is phenomenal.One other aspect is the ratio of upper leg to lower leg .I feel in her case this is ideal and optimal. She will be a world champion in a year or two. Watch out for Olympics 2024 !

[@gionncaomhinmorpheagh4791]

There's actually not much you can do with regard to length of stride, it's pretty much inborne and extremely difficult to change while maintaining speed. What you can do, however, is increase your stride frequency. For a better view of that, see the vids of Marita Koch of the former East Germany. Her stride frequency was absolutely insane, but it helped her to win her races. MsG

[@ljsmixbox44]

You don't know that. This fantasy story they're saying about Steiner is crazy. Everyone want to hear all the good things but they don't want to hear the truth. She tore her right ACL..[Anterior cruciate ligament] located in the middle of the knee. Later she had a left Achilles injury that affects the back of your lower leg. The muscles in the back of your calf to your heel bone. (both were serious injuries) Her acceleration in those videos of the 100m,200, 4x400 relay.. look like a robot are someone taking a supplement to keep her body strong. I ran track. Track practice is very "Intense". The meets were a peace of cake. When Abby had a left Achilles injury..she sat out there whole junior season. That means she missed alot of practice and was taking rehab. So what really made Abby so strong in her senior year of college where she had broken NCAA records, speed times... No it doesn't work that way. This girl had an torn ACL on her right leg and on the left leg a Achilles injury. Not buying it.

[@robertsolar8814]

@@ljsmixbox44 Many athletes have successfully returned from ACL surgery and among them are several big names in sports. Abby Steiner suffered an ACL injury in soccer.

Abby is doing TWO big things that's making her faster... 1. She's running on the BALLS of her feet ONLY instead of heal to toe. 2. She's preventing much less "arm movement", keeping her arms and hands close to her body and moving less, just strong short pumps of the arms to help momentum.

[@Jeff-0621]

Stu Mittleman talked about this his style and how he was able to run faster longer. As you explained just running to graze the ground, leaning slightly forward (at the very least not lean back as it accounts for drag), and the arm always tucked closer to the body. The more you extend the arm out further to the body the more energy one has. Also, arm swing equals leg stride. The closer the arms to the body the shorter the swing thus more leg stride. Hence frequency.

[@astronorthwet636]

If a similar comparison were done on the SEC Championship races where Ofili beat Steiner in the 100m & 200m would the stride frequency and ground strike angles comparison yield different results. I think the comparison of these races would be needed to confirm the reason why Steiner had more success at NCAAs as well as US Nationals than at SECs. I think Steiner has a good shot at the WCs in part because of her current level of fitness but in addition 3 rounds/races at 100m [assuming all 3 Jamaican ladies make the finals] will likely be completed by the Jamaicans before the required 3 races [assuming all make the finals] at 200m.

She got legs! (And knows how to use them)

[@davelorenz3285]

It’s obvious that she’s fast because she’s so cute! When she quits track competition she will make an easy transition to modeling or maybe a motivational speaker. Go Abby!

[@RaysDad]

Abby also has the best arm motion of any of the women sprinters. She keeps her elbows low and in, and her arm swing is short, and she keeps her shoulders quiet.

And she still can improve the arm movement and control, open her hands to lessen resistance. (Watch Fraser-Pryce) She’s not done evolving.

Yep and perfecting her drug cycle .

[@JohnSmith-xx9se]

Seems unfair that she is both this talented while being this beautiful.

[@Visionary0001]

@The Sprint Project: Bro, you do a very good job at technical analysis for a younger guy, but us older coaches (I'm 56), we understand that Abby's most unique motor ability characteristic is her ARM SWING mechanics. Her turnover frequency, leg drive, ability to exert ground forces, and dorsiflex "foot spring" are all related to her unconventional, but highly effective arm motion. This cannot easily be taught, and she's been doing it since she was a child. You did not discuss this at all in your video.

[@jonnynice8366]

I always thought her arm movements look crazy.

[@efisgpr]

She seems to be minimizing it lately yet hitting PBs. I wonder what makes you think it confers an advantage, biomechanically speaking. To me, the same force transfer generated can happen with less (wasted) movement by strengthening her shoulder internal rotation and elbow flexion capacity, especially at high speeds (maximizing RFD). Of course for now the result is stellar dynamic trunk control but the same forces can come from less ROM. I am curious to hear your thoughts.

[@Visionary0001]

@@dextermorrisjr If you have studied the footage of her.... specifically her extreme vascularity and the condition of her skin it's easy to tell. All of the visual signs were clearly there and the changes in her skin and body over time tell the tale. Plenty of athletes can get by a test. She was Americas track and field Queen... and when she wound up dead no one wanted to push the subject. They swept it under the rug to preserve her legacy. No one wanted disqualify the world record she died for. It's a simple as that.

It would be interesting to measure many of the top runners’ femur length and tibia/fibula lengths as I recall an article (possibly Popular Mechanics) I read years ago that proposed the longer the upper leg bone was compared to lower leg bones the faster the person will be. Also the fast twitch muscles. There are just some traits that can’t be trained into making a runner faster than others.

I think typically those who have ran 400m and transition to 200m are more faster or have more endurance due to the distance they ran before. If I'm not mistaken if you want to be good at 200m you have to price running 400m to build everything you need to build for them races

As a kid at 5.6’ tall 140 lb, when sprinting 1986 my last race, my legs were a blur, never allowing my heels to touch, staying on my toes creating way less drag. Heels are like brakes, in sprinting, you never want to touch those brakes!!!!!!!! Less time in the air between streps means more steps on the ground powering forward! When I taught myself how to run, I leaned forward, moving those legs faster & finding that fine line of balance, keeping me from falling forward, much like in running down a slight hill.
