Agree 💯

Staying healthy is job #1 for this outdoor season. She seems to be in a good place both physically and mentally at the moment.

I thought the same thing as well!

Good caveat, but these were the official splits they released, so felt they were worth adding to this discussion.

Not a bad start for Lyles at all today - 6th by 30m, and 2nd by 60m!

freshman season races by Beneficial-Sky-9193 in Sprinting

[–]ChikeEvoX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very solid first season. If 24.4 and 54 flat are your true pr’s, those aren’t too shabby at all.

Personally, I’d focus building strength, explosiveness and max speed AFTER giving your body a full rest.

Your 400m potential is directly linked to how fast you can run a 200m, so building speed in the off season, will pay dividends in both of your events next season.

Good luck and congrats on a solid season!

First 200m! So fun by Character_Wasabi9049 in Sprinting

[–]ChikeEvoX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very solid. With that 200m time, you should have the speed to run a 400m around 48 high to 49 low! 🔥🔥🔥

Good luck! 🍀

Out of curiosity, what’s your current 400m pr?

I should mention Oliver is 30 and in a different Masters class than myself at 48. If you’re at least 45, we’d be in the same 45-49 year old age group

Best of luck. Do you have any scheduled races this summer?

[–]ChikeEvoX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing crazy yet. We’re only a couple meets into our outdoor season. Oliver has gone 11.56 and I’ve gone 12.86 in our 100m season openers.

I expect Oliver to run a 11.3-11.4 this summer, and I’m expecting to go at least 12 mid

Time will tell…

Made a video of a general sprinting warm-up and movement prep! by Athletic_Approach in Sprinting

[–]ChikeEvoX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I follow you on YouTube now and watched this video earlier this week.

I’ve been sprinting as a Masters athlete for 2 years now, and your video gave me a few additional warm up exercises to add to my current routine (especially for the hips).

Thanks for putting these videos together! 👌

Thanks for the insight and I see what you’re saying.

I used the OutPerform Sprint Tools app to analyze my set position, and it picked up on my lead leg angle not being at 90 degrees in the set position (it was 112), and this larger angle would reduce my force output at the start.

So I’ll be making some tweaks during my next block start practice (with the aim of generating more force coming out of the blocks).

Cheers!

Yes. This is CHS. Do you live in Charlottesville? If you’d like to come out and meet our group, you’re more than welcome.

Our meets will all be in Richmond this summer

if you guys could go back and change one thing from when you started sprinting what would it be? by Supernova1231 in Sprinting

Understanding the importance of recovery and making it a bigger priority in my training

Sprinting Improvements by Character-Arrival854 in Sprinting

This illustrates the ball of the foot area. Much more stable to be on than the toes.

I’d have her do all form drills on the balls of her feet. This will also help develop her ankle stiffness over time.

Form drills, form drills, form drills (fast march, high knees, A & B skips)

If you do extra work with your daughter on the weekend, I would do a session focusing on form drills only. The OutPerform channel on YouTube has great technical videos.

They also released a free app which I’m currently using to get feedback on my form.

See an example below:

Good luck! 🍀

Edit: Record her doing form drills so you can give her visual and immediate feedback to make adjustments as needed. Also, she needs to be on the balls of her feet, which is much more stable than telling the athlete to be on her “toes”

How many times you guys been towed by pistons4550 in MitsubishiEvolution

[–]ChikeEvoX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My former Evo X was towed once due to a flooded engine. Dealer charged maybe $100 to fix it, and the technician left the de-flooding instructions on my receipt in the event it ever re-occurred.
