Tom Tellez and Carl Lewis on Sprinting

This is an instructional on breaking down a 100 meter race into specific sections to maximize performance.

[@swav.zielin]

I wish I saw these instruction videos when I competed. Great insights!

[@linopierre6395]

Carl Lewis..the most talented ever and was such a delight to see him run. He remain number one ever till that day [2019]

Carl was always destined to be an elite coach. A true legend!

[@SPIDERM0OSE]

Lewis was a brilliant athlete n a brilliant competitor, best Ive seen so far.

[@michaelfortunato1860]

Tellez is a great coach, but an awkward public speaker. Lewis is a class act.

[@treplay8846]

He is not. Watch his other videos

[@vseme1572]

Absolute legend!

[@rvind92g]

Don't get me wrong, Carl Lewis is a brilliant sprinter and one of the all time greats. But it's clear there's a reason why he kept on losing to others in the start. No dig and drive phase at all, his head keeps going up right on the 2nd step out of the blocks. Imagine he could be a 9.8 seconds sprinter and below if he improved that aspect of his race.

[@MrDaveyboy22]

+rvind92g I agree, starting techniques for taller men have improved massively the last 30 years, as well as track shoes and tracks. Apply those factors and a little more weight training, not much just a little on his upper body to give more explosiveness, Carl would have knocked 0.15 of his PB. I think he'd have run similar times to Asafa Powell, low 9.70's at peak.

[@BreuckelensFinest]

+rvind92g Hey Jack Genius, Carl ran a legal 9.86 & 9.78 wind aided!

[@Netgazum]

His arms are all wrong as well. Watch is non power arm, it does not drive forward from the gun. His power arm goes back straight and he does not bend at the elbow. He pushes out of the blocks like superman almost holding a pose. No low heal recovery either so his feet are like a whole foot off the ground for his first 2 steps. Yikes!!

[@JCBPARISPARIS]

Excellent athlete. Thanks for sharing

[@andrewcampbell1129]

My favorite athlete

[@philmoufarrege]

65m of acceleration. 100m divided by 65m = 1.538. This is very close to the GOLDEN SECTION (fibonnaci spiral) The measurement that the universe is built upon. There is a perfect way to do everything. The golden section ratio is 1.618. Take 100m and divide by 1.618 and you get 61m. 2500 years ago, Pythagoras would have used this calculation to determine that 61m of acceleration is the ideal and most efficient method. Very interesting. Also take a look at the spiral of a professional golf swing.

[@rockhardrockmetalpop]

Hello there Phil. Just one thing to make it clear: acceleration unit is m/ s/s, or if you prefer m/s2(I mean elevated to the 2). So, not to confuse anybody the 61 are not metres, which is lineal , but 61m/s/s which is acceeleration. Very interesting comment. You got me into maths and physics again....plus what I most love, Art. Thank you!

[@peakperformancetrain]

Phil Moufarrege ok look out, 153 is also the number of fish Jesus had the disciples catch . ( at the current time being the total number of species know by people I.e Aristotle ,). Archimedes used 153 as the constant denominator to configure 3.14 , 252/153 Do you realize that the square root of 153 is 12.36 = the exact number of months in a lunar calendar. Also 153 is the number of degrees covered in 2 conjoined circles with equal radi the Vesicia Pisces.

[@samsule8339]

can you incorporate your knowledge into a basketball shot

[@tomedwards5910]

Adrian Trot He is saying for 61 meters you should accelerate. 61 m/s2 of acceleration is outrageously high. Like super sports car level. Also the acceleration in sprinting is not constant. It starts off high as you go from zero to exploding out of the blocks and then approaches zero as you get closer to top speed. Because of this nobody discusses what the actual measured acceleration is. It is hard to make sense of it in your head. Rather people breaking the sprint down just discuss split times at 10 meter marks as well as velocity at various points in the race.

Acceleration phase is the most important. Which is one thing I have always liked about the event; you cant be a flake. You have to be fully committed and focused from the very beginning

[@shane3378]

Are they Mizuno sprinting shoes??

[@judahdsouza9196]

football players lose speed due the weight the put on more than bad mechanics through playing football. Also Carl's start wasn't something you would want to emulate as a 100 m runner.

[@aidanmicallef7718]

He loses alot of time rotating the back foot out of the blocks. He is supposed to keep it low to the ground.

[@miguelducasse]

looks good but what happened to the DIG AND DRIVE faze i noticed he came out the blocks right into exceleration mode.........

[@Iskazi3285]

It's cool that you caught that, I was going to send this to an athlete about drive phase but I changed my mind .

[@efisgpr]

Respectfully, it's spelled acceleration. Plus, you're totally right. This is useful but outdated.

[@omegadavids8332]

Carl Lewis is the most talented athlete of the decade✌️🤫❤️❤️🏃🏃

[@josephpawlowski5810]

i am new to sprinting...if carl has his left foot forward, that would mean it is his more powerful leg, wouldn't most sprinters have the right foot forward?

[@BigLadGreen]

Joseph Pawlowski Right leg has all of the speed i.e. reaction speed, so you want that foot moving out the blocks first and push off with the left.

[@efisgpr]

No, usually it's the left. Same foot a right-handed dunker launches from when doing a one-foot takeoff. Always do unilateral training to be as balanced as possible, though.

[@glywnniswells9480]

If u reach max speed at 60 m why dont they do a 60m run up for long jump? They do maybe 50 m max

[@PoojaBhandekar-ne3fw]

[@EvaAnika]

I like this start off the blocks much better than this Modern Trend toward looking like the legs are stiff and not getting a full range of motion. I don't know which is most effective time wise, though.

[@paulklein7388]

its the competition aspect , competeing and running against the best and doing it with friends working as a team will make you work harder and try harder , than trying to do it all on your own .

[@glywnniswells9480]

I still cant believe that world class sprinters decelerate on 100m i would.like.to see a velocity check on them all.

[@efisgpr]

Just look up their 10-meter splits.

[@tomedwards5910]

They explain the reason in terms of ATP being used up and having to switch energy systems after 5-7 seconds. But for comparison, when a horse runs a 400m it is still accelerating over half way through and then maintains that speed. So I don’t know why a horse is able to do that with an extra load on its back. It runs 400 meters in about the same time a human runs 200 meters. So that’s like a human accerating for 100 meters and then maintaining for 100 meters. But when humans run 200 meters they are slowing after about 60 to 70 meters the whole way.

[@mombojom3]

Did not know about low heel recovery then. Start is atrocious!

[@jessem7556]
