This is a Gatorade commercial. The last few seconds shows a sprinter with a mean forward lean. I put it in slow mo and noticed he was still able to land on com with the lean. I’ve notice a lot of jam sprinters have this style of running. Thoughts

That kid is like a combination of 09bolt and 06gatlin, in terms of his vulgarly boundish high cadence automatic natural stride.

Well if I had to come up with something I’d probably lean towards identifying a weaker core or a rounded lower back. To put it another way, attempting to achieve knee lift without sufficient strength and flexibility to maintain neutral hip position.

probably not a weaker core for me just from knowing my strength levels. and maybe im rounding my lower back a bit

There is an exercise/drill I called a rudi on cf somewhere, do them properly and you will fix the problem.

Mate I don’t have the time.

I will facebook 3 athletes and ask if someone will do a vid for me. I sent you 2 vids away ago and one of the athletes is on it.

The rudi’s change the timing, the noise disappears and speed increases.

haha, ironically i squat 2.5x my wegiht to parallel and can human flag, i doubt core strength is my issue if anything. just took video today. i noticed that i dont seem to ever actively swing my leg backwards. my mechanics look great then my leg straightens out right before its suppose to swing back, then it just stays there til foot strike. this is making me have very loud steps, a short stride and run slow. i think this problem doesnt occur as much while racing others because id naturally pull a bit more. its as if im not stepping through the ground. i just step down until right before contact then apply like no force to the actual ground…

Full Squat

Full Squat

i assume your recommending i do more full squatting? on that note the program here generally has me full squatting in the realm of 6x4 twice a week. i think it might just be a cueing problem
