Stepping down without stepping over

Expert Discussion Advanced Sprint Training

Is it possible to get the sensation of ‘stepping down’ at top speed if you’re not stepping over properly? I’m getting what I’m supposed to be feeling in terms of foot contact at top speed, but I do not give any thought to stepping over the opposing knee. If I’m able to get the feeling of stepping down, does that mean stepping over is already taking place?

Thanks.

“Stepping over” is only a cue. If your legs are recovering properly (and you dont have a problem like over pushing) you don’t have to worry about it. Get someone to video tape you, this way you will know for sure what is going on.
