Running really "bouncy" = higher top speeds?

Nice analogy. I’ll have to try that with a new athlete of mine who runs with low hips and heavy feet. She’s been doing it for years and I’ve been having trouble breaking the habit. She’s been getting better during practice, but reverts back to her ‘normal’ stride pattern in races.

another of the mind cues to try, especially when doing drills is ‘hot coals’ as in you don’t want to burn your feet :p, see how that goes.
