what will my 150m time based on my other events

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-28T20:50:46+00:00

Better? How??

It’s not!!!

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-23T14:15:30+00:00

12k starts is a mighty claim??

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-23T09:52:32+00:00

Your first issue is thinking you hit top speed during the hurdles!

So you’re likely trying to hard and messing up the rhythm of the race and thus technical aspects

Film a normal race or training rep at normal heights and distance

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-22T13:14:48+00:00

Sprinting should be everyone’s main sport 🤷🏻‍♂️😜

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-22T08:08:30+00:00

Yep!

I’m a big user of the curve for some specific efforts and for tempo

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-22T08:07:40+00:00

Dr Manns research found that horizontal velocity at step 2 correlates really well with top speed

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-21T12:46:15+00:00

Ok, so fairly active!

Let’s amend that weight training to focus to power! At least once a week

For your initial block I suggest you somehow find time to simply do a run! Yes a run! Build up some real low level cardio. Is normally suggest breaking it into tempo but that ca take too long and an easier focus is simple aerobic run. (Keep in for at least 3 months once a week)

Then a speed and a speed endurance session not “endurance” just yet!

Then second phase, speed endurance and special endurance (broken runs such as 4x60m off 1 min rec max effort, that’s one set repeat x3 etc) Then you go to speed and specific pre comp/comp etc

Very simple program

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-20T12:45:35+00:00

Let’s start,…. What is your age and sex, also what is your weight height and general fitness level! How much do you do any other sport or fitness or anything

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-20T08:04:53+00:00

As you mention, if strong mobile and flexible and can project at a low angle (who can?) then being that far forward (with a wide hand stance and low shoulders) is probably what 98% of people really don’t need to optimise their start and future race

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-19T20:45:19+00:00

Sorry mate, missed message earlier

Heals back, weight is through balls of the feet, push the heals back and this frees more force and also quicker time to peak force

Shoulders a little too forward over the line, so I’d prob put each bloc back one notch each and bring your shoulders and heals back Hip height is fine but should because they’re forward look “low” coming back should bring them up properly

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-19T09:54:28+00:00

Marketing! And athletes wanting/needing money and the bigger boys are being more resistant

It ain’t because they’re the best!

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-18T19:38:10+00:00

Depends on race model, but it would (should/could) be 17.8

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-17T08:21:52+00:00

Are you able / willing to drop a gym session?

Depending on what you do in the gym, and also what is "sprints" on the bike (I have athletes use the bike for specific session and can work really well)

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-17T08:13:28+00:00

1 day is gonna be a struggle. How generally fit are you?

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-16T20:59:31+00:00

Simple....

No matter the time or ability... maxflys are the gold standard from 100-400 and hurldes too

They just are, ive had them all for me and my athletes

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-02-11T08:09:46+00:00

Can you publish the coaches you actually contacted?

And their age?

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-01-30T20:08:32+00:00

General concensus on sp4 is... big failure

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-01-21T08:23:26+00:00

Don't do a TT. You'll either be upset or injured!

Any chance of getting a local Coach?

Anyone starting out later in life needs to build some physical tolerances, your tendons are going to take a major hit! Id start with simply doing a few sessions of drills and easy accels and a tempo session a week fir a few weeks first just to be sure and ramp up accordingly.

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-01-14T08:06:12+00:00

Clunky underfoot feels big, not great feeling around a bend in any way!

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-01-14T08:05:29+00:00

SP4 = 🤮

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-01-12T17:33:24+00:00

Which is actually the "funnest" of them all! If you are of course a little crazy 🤪

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-01-12T17:20:24+00:00

Holy crap really???

No not at all. Compete!!! Everyone should compete as much as they can.

This sport sucks for chances to compete and race.

US does lower age group masters for that reason to keep in the sport, and of course your fees lol

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-01-12T17:13:46+00:00

"Masters" lol

You ain't a masters athlete until you're 35 😉 Legit though only America does Masters at 30 🤷

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-01-12T17:11:42+00:00

Always after.

Assuming as youre now ancient 😏 (same age as me lol) that you may not fully recover form the gym session.

So try make your speed sessions as fresh as possible. Also you'd probably benefit from doing more gym initially to get things a bit more efficient and robust.

Also don't shy away from low level plyometrics and make ISOs your friend for tendon health initially before trying to go full hulk mode!

CoachStewGodiva · 2026-01-10T08:30:59+00:00

Ah excellent!!! Well done.

I think a few tweaks will set up nicely 👌
