Marcell Jacobs Career Is In Danger

[@marc20dm]

I'm a big fan of Marcell Jacobs. He has the most amazing relaxed running style.. I hope he comes back strong.

[@Sprint_Addict]

It will be get very difficult for Jacobs, over 100m all Sprinter are running almost the same times, if somebody has a injury issue , its almost impossible to keep up with the other Athletes. I think the only athlete who could WIN even when he had injury problems before was USAIN BOLT

I’m a sprinter (on a bicycle though) In bmx we train very similar to track athletes. I love watching track athletes sprint and train. I believe injury rates are rising due to foot mechanics, our feet are like tires on a car, you can have a Ferrari but if the tires are completely flat it’s going to be hard to go fast. Just like you can have big glutes, strong core, but if your feet are ducked out, and your arch is collapsing, your risking injury in everything from the foot upward. Heel down weight lifting training has become so popular as well, if you look at the foot anatomy, the heel is for resting, the big toe is for balance, and the balls of your feet under the toes/ outside edge of your foot is for force production. Watching a lot of sprinters run now their feet are not straight, and when they strike the ground their foot turns inwards. I still believe in weight training, but I also believe to always put mechanics first. The heaviest back squat doesn’t translate to the fastest sprint time.

[@prod.Radiant]

I believe you! I can see even from watching my own videos, my feet tend to strike on the outside, my arch isn’t the greatest, and it can be hard for me to remain dorsiflexed upon landing, it’s as if my body doesn’t trust my feet to land or handle the full impact, so I plantarflex as I sense the ground beneath me. What would you suggest for fixing foot mechanics then? For strengthening the foot for sprinting? What about what I mentioned above?

[@JulianSirian]

If you watch any Essop Merrick videos... he always recommends using weights only when you know what you are doing... and usually if you PB is under 11 seconds... (I'm surprised this channel isn't doing collab work with Essop Merrick.. both channels are good for sprinting...) Hope this helps...

[@yomomshouse100]

ya i think plyometric variation with proper load management that is also specific to your sport is #1 for injury reduction. You should get more plyometric variation down first then you lift weights.

[@philipgardiner6744]

Perhaps the new spikes they are wearing is part of the problem. However, sprinters are always one step away from injury. They require careful coaching, particularly the faster they are. Sprinters always land on the outside of the foot, which then rolls inwards.

[@gustavocerqueira2827]

It is what the book born to run and the youtube channel squat university always talks, the feet are very important for athletic performance.

[@chedibelaid5053]

I have to correct you in one thing, in Italy unlike other countries most of the professional athletes are employed by military teams, like financial police (fiamme gialle), police (fiamme oro), fire fighters (fiamme rosse), etc Athletes employed by these teams they get a monthly salary exactly like a normal police officer.

[@samualvarezold]

Wow

[@tj-8422]

Interesting

[@Trackreator]

Quick simple answer: it’s not. With all the physical and mental treatments, doing what he loves, he will run in Eugene WC. I’m not calling it saying he will certainly win, but I think he will come back after injury!

[@TheSprintProject_]

As a fan I look forward to his return, although the 100m talent is looking strong right now and a win won't be easy.

[@Trackreator]

@@TheSprintProject_ Yes. You were perfect in the video. I only want to say that an Italian Professional ex-athlete called Bragagna, and many others, says that Marcell can run in Eugene, his injury is not that important to not run the WC. The problem is he jumped after like 3 meeting races and he does not know how fast he is now.

If that’s the case, what do you think his 100 meter potential is?

[@StarryNightGazing]

On the gazzetta it says he is still to confirm his presence. He will run in Stockholm though.

[@comequandofuoripiove6951]

@@Pumpxkin the track even if it is old is quite fast (in Rieti Asafa has raced several times in about 9.86). Obviously Jacobs has shown to give his best when he faces athletes of the highest level, here he will only have Tortu to worry him and Ali if he were to explode permanently. In my opinion with no wind it can do 9.95 without running risks

[@Pumpxkin]

@@comequandofuoripiove6951 Hmm, seems quite reasonable. Do you think he can go sub 9.7 in his lifetime or what? His form and technique is next to flawless and his training is next level.

[@comequandofuoripiove6951]

@@Pumpxkin His coach (Camossi) says he has no limits. The technical commentator of Italian TV (Tilli ex athlete and boyfriend of Merlene Ottey who knows Jacobs very well) said that from the post Tokyo training sessions it was worth 9.65 without wind. Obviously we have not received feedback but I am absolutely certain that in Nairobi if he had not had the virus he would have run in less than 9.70. Jacobs said in an interview that in Nairobi he was aiming for 9.70. Where are you from?

When I was a sprinter in college I was plagued with hamstring injuries. Other than that I occasionally had achilles tendon problems, shin splints, & fallen arches. Much of that can be avoided. Do calf raises to make ur shins more durable. Hamstring curls & stretching. As well as use arch supports in ur shoes for the arches. Learn from ur mistakes.

[@stevewise1656]

Glutes, hamstrings and hip flexers are most important for sprinting. He trains incredibly hard and I wonder if they're giving him enough rest days between meets.

[@dylanmorgan5589]

Nordic curls will save you. Before you start a running career get good at nordic curls. It takes a buttload of adaptation to build up the ability and it's almost impossible to make those changes during a full training cycle. But if you get the ability and strength first then not only are you substantially more resilient to injury just as is but you can include them in your training every now and then to retain your strength.

Do heavy hamstring curls. Stretch hard everyday. And after 3 weeks of hard training take an entire week off. There you go, i gave you the secret to never getting injured as a sprinter.

[@Zen-t2j]

This is actually pretty accurate. I'd add that you should do eccentrics with the hamstring curls. Nordic hamstring curls are the best but very similar. But ultimately it's actually pretty simple to prevent these hamstring injuries that plague sprinters. I've only ever been injured once and I've sprinted for like 7 years

[@statictech7]

@@Zen-t2j I am not a fan of nordic curls. I feel they are just in vogue because of internet influencers. And none of those influencers have ever been elite athletes. And too much eccentric work will put on more mass then wanted for sprinting.

[@Zen-t2j]

@@statictech7 They've been around for a long time. Being "vogue" doesnt really take away from them. They don't build size because you generally can only do low reps with them

[@statictech7]

@@Zen-t2j its still a primarily eccentric exercise and that will always increase muscle fiber size. And be honest, why did you start nordic curls? Was it because of the kneesover toes guy? Standing hamstring curl machines are far superior because you can focus on lifting heavy concentrically with little emphasis on eccentric. And its a single leg lift so you can build symmetrical strength. I appreciate the debate, not trying to be a jerk.

[@Zen-t2j]

@@statictech7 I've been doing them since 2012, when I got into parkour, a lot of people in that space are into "vogue" exercises (I have vids on my IG of me using them if you really wanna see lol) Eccentric exercises are exactly what you want, they're the exercises that prevent injury. Because during them you're increasing the strength of the muscle at end range. Which is exactly where sprinters get injured, during the phase when the hamstring is lengthened, not shortened. You only have to worry about size when you're doing high reps. There's not much difference in hypertrophy for concentric vs eccentric. However like I said eccentric is better for injury prevention because it strengthens your muscles at their weakest range. Think of bicep tears, they happen when the arm is straighter, not bent. You can use w.e exercise you want with eccentrics though it doesn't have to be Nordic curls
