Looking at Bolt run his 200’s last year, all the talk about about holding your inside arm tight, running close to the lane edge to save eneregy, etc dont mean jack, he just comes out and hammers it. I’ve looked at videos from last year where Usain was almost stepping on the OUTSIDE of his lane on the curve.

I think the taller athletes have a problem staying within their lanes on the curves.

What do you think about a extended drive phase, keeping the head down until about 120m. Running hard all the way actually, but saving energy by staying down in the drive phase longer?

If you look at the video about the study Japanese made on Asafa, you’ll hear Asahara say “If I start like that, I won’t be able to run long”. I think same thing applies to your idea.
