There is a youtube for a movie they are trying to pitch for the Speed City Team. You can see Tommie Smith Lee Evans and John Carlos in a race. I did not notice any overstriding. They say Glen Mills follows alot of winters ideas and we know Usain has near perfect running form…
Just thinking about something CF said a while ago in a seminar video… about when depending on how you lift your thigh you can get more distance on your stride… I wonder if Winter had the same idea but used different words to describe it?
This has me curious because I have a really short stride and after training with a guy who was shorter and weaker than me he was able to blow me away (by like 5m in the 100m) we had the same turn over. he was about 145 and could squat 315 I was 170 and could squat 365… So the power was close too. I did notice that his range of motion was better but he was not much more flexible than me the only difference was that foreleg reach. He did not overstride either…
Apologies to Phil… Didn’t mean to hijack
I find that emphasising the heel up to the butt rather than thinking about knee lift and the lift automatically happens, which allows plenty of time to step over and down.
Apology accepted.
