I have not even visited America so I doubt it, I don’t see the heel in contact with the blocks on tv.
I sense when in the set position is a lack of power from my thrust when pushing against the block. Indeed I do feel as though I am simply standing up.
With the footpads high, big toe along the ground and heel in contact with the blocks on set the feeling is not “I am simply standing up”
And what about the best (Bolt, Gay, Powell, etc)
They have the big toe along the footpad.
What setup do you use?
I don’t run, as a coach I work up to what I posted, I start where you are now. sounds like you a pro runner, what mark you off.
