First I just want to say that the CFTS is awesome because I’m able to train each segment of the race at maximal velocity (e.g, 4x30, E/F/E, SE-2).
Ok, now, as far as the 100m is concerned, by using the CFTS I have figured out my weak spot of the race! It’s the 40-70 meter segment of the race.
I say this because for the first time of my life I have been putting this E/F/E to use and when I hit the fast part I feel like such an amateur! For example, my mind does not go into automatic “you know what to do” mode, my mechanics break down (such as my head flings back and I start to strain).
So my question is, do you guys have any recomendations to help me get better at this segment of the race other then keep praticing? Anybody have any tips?
you can prepare segments separately but you need to race relaxed throughout. If you push too hard, you’ll mess up as you go into the top speed section (ie 40 to 70) Read through Speed Trap if you have it for a good description of race execution.
