How to Run - Sprint Mechanics

[@theloafy]

I’ve been doing a load of research into sprinting and I have to say that this video has the most useful information to condensed in a quick straight to the point form. Almost everything I need to is right here! An absolute gold mine of a video.

Hello México, City

[@jumpingCarrot]

I hit the ground with forefoot first and got injured for 2 month recovery time. Any idea why?

[@hopsquad]

Maybe contacting the ground too far out front. Or maybe a weakness somewhere in the lower body. Hard to tell without more information. What was your injury?

[@jumpingCarrot]

@@hopsquad my calf. It hurt when i press it, when walking, and it's easy to get tight. I watch tutorial on yt to make it less tight and less painful because i didn't go to hospital and it worked for a short moment. I got better after two months but now i'm scared to run and injured myself again because i didn't know where i'm wrong. Please help me

[@hopsquad]

I see. So, two things that have helped me with calf issues are bent-knee eccentric calf raises, and stretching my calves for 2-4 minutes every day on an incline board. For the calf raises, find a box or a step with a railing to hold onto. Then stand on the box or step with 1 foot, then bend your knee, and go down slowly for four seconds, then extend back up, and repeat for five reps on each side for three sets. Again, I don’t know the source of your injury, but I know that when I’ve had calf issues, it was usually a strength or range of motion problem. So this would take care of both of those. Then, when it’s time to get back to running, I would start really slow and build into it as your body feels comfortable.

Reps and sets?

[@hopsquad]

For pretty much all of them a good start would be 2-3 sets. And for the reps, that varies a bit. The fast toe taps, you could do a bunch, like 40-50 per foot. I would do maybe 10-20 of the slow toe taps per side. For the running arms, just 2-3 times would be sufficient. For the wall pushes, I would do 5-10 singles, 5x each side doubles, and 3-5x each side for the triples. For the sprint positions, just do those until you feel like you've got the motions down. For the Pawing, between 5-15x. And for the remaining drills, just do them for 10-30m, or whatever feels right to you. Hope that's helpful. 👍
