Your feet should make the initial plant directly under your hips, not out in front of your body. <br><br>A huge mistake that athletes often make when trying to run faster is to reach out with their lead leg in a futile attempt to increase their stride length. When you reach with the leg in front of your body, your heel will touch the ground first. This effectively puts on the brakes and you will actually run slower. You increase your stride ength with the bac leg drive. You want to run tall. However, to plant the foot directly under the hips is an advanced concept. Therefore, I want to devote a whole article to that technique at a later date. I will have a 4.2 forty-athlete show you some great drills to more fully understand this concept.<br><br>8. Your forward leg should initially lift forward, not up. <br><br>The lower leg shoul hang before planting with your foot and toes up. Your back knee should fully extend on the follow-through, or end-of-the-leg drive. Look at Stefan and Tim once again. The photo was taken at the perfect time to see the all-out extension of their back legs. Again, coaches, if you do some video analysis from the side, you will see that most of your athletes will never straighten the back leg. Every stride wil be performed with a bent back leg. There is no way you can become really fast with bent legs. Therefore, if you want to run really fast, you will have to master how to run with a back leg that looks like Stefan s.<br>Look at Figure 13. This is our famous hip flexor stretch. If you do this one right, it will help you to increase your stride length and therefore your speed. Remember, when you stretch you want to look like a sprinter. The right-hand photo shows John in a correct position. You must force your hips forward and down. You are supposed to feel the stretch in your hip flexor (groin area). If you don t, your position is incorrect.<br>Look at Figure 12. The left photo shows the toe down, while the right photo shows the toe up. You want your toe up. It will make a huge difference. Study Figures 14-15-16. This is one good way to help athlets learn the vital sprint principle of Toe Up. Detail, detail, detail.<br>A wonderful new sprint aid has just been designed to help you keep your toes up. It is called the Sprint Step. See Figure 17. It just takes a minuteor two to place on your shoes. The Sprint Step will give you a kinesthetic feel of how to keep your toes up as you sprint. Just wear it when you are working sprints, starts, sprint drilik8?J{[.s|LZ_L:s\7IZ2WiG j+\^&յIﮚyK*uÊ2W?Ł/uySg7W>Ӽi\yk0j7Q]^AqbOKJx|1scSu.'jN }92p'0! %$V, >4.llf z^CW2MwҚ9[q1ۖ~:uI K992ۖIÃr_)2t-L66ݕ34W 4_*o5 J,aC*[I38r+;EN^8A5ŭBR1/X_94"tE$37=x^.d0<һ75B+2GvMS.9$~R)#}ad6 ڥݺĎrDe&n.*R0inޤKg) yKaj/qa01E<,U7U?nj`2^>\ݩi]^URK|@\v$oIaZ2?dR|פ ptPbX.(nI%4u[+KYR;{خRxf ]$P_Ϙ#1eʀd9o=L{rmO3NHK}' ]Ҕ:w֏hwӭFqxWhkϫ#}\I9L1 !&Kh7~ھ,rߠ4>Jv49`q5z 5۷p~C܂XUG_À|[Sn Uڎ$vk-QN K~ҧ;1>&;q?XݲM#r-yÂsrvX45w2*5~`=ON]1V5_q}nyݸݝdCl~Z#y +5\Kn^X{޻ر ۮl ӹ>!b{ (ݥ/SE$zSF~3$.45x!x^!Oevta] z=KC%@V+~%;ySɰHV-o I$eW#)_K[v9$đm@G|cmqlsOYY&>9V$CˋݰjP7 sWs;C ucQr ,h 8Au`>xveu|"D5J4߆ zfȧSaiZ  E <)2o(RN1 zv#%{R_5Hdp5XG$Vݡ&YKAieilw+/]UI,jzT:ƜaE]HYƟmB++qY&n {u$w:8ӊ :l^Cw,w#+y mFOLLTHG)~Y=V?N$oT͐ͳ\5''󆓣Rk{̶-!zb$,O$mM>KeUN(#FybzhخPB֦ RT# vؚk9i #HO\fAy˛[ZE/r]l*7/Cl@x: ?S~R[}YSs֮MvJZ#{X"Ijz-JxWz@e@~Q֗w!$}]4yzKZirdcC| _GZ%Ode1&eU2WiF|.Z[\@[yP8H I[V'[bt K&b?Ns(M! pǗW'8iE y' feD]٘:Noѵ먭nEQDN{X~1Dԅ}T1:/Or$dJytz%>->?Vk2s5%CV+CT/C=|ߦFXL;zNA\H>4E/Jl#OG2hs^+* !7Z4Bȶl=h-X0V*Mh|=h@镲Z1'1ZEei*GZTTD2(A'Wnx3Z)UkRAcX|՚ }%c#}`yOLyEE@RW[c+z9S!ݙ@E Nwun-Rʠ*h06O3j PnkLZOKgvAur >&wT`zi3% HSA\i$EKT1$
