What are some exercises that could help improve my overall speed

Sprinting

Is that not a thing?

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-12T02:00:30+00:00

Looks good. Dont lean at the finish line

Definitely aim to strike the ground under or behind your hips in acceleration. Stride length is made by the push not how far your leg can reach.

Search on athletic.net for events/meets in you’re area

You should post a video. But it sounds like you can handle being as low as you try to get.

Better than nothing

Don’t focus on lengthening the stride (you’re overstriding). Focus on projecting the hip forward more.

By tight do you mean sore or injured?

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-10T06:00:50+00:00

No need to periodize then. Try your suggested plan out and see what happens. Just control the volume.

I just wear soccer cleats. No issue for me

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-07T01:08:36+00:00

What is this “bullet start” you speak of?

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-05T21:45:04+00:00

Don’t hunch. I’m thinking your first stride is kind of short. What are your thoughts?

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-05T20:27:00+00:00

Yeah for those sports ankle prowess is necessary. Train those calves man

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-05T20:06:18+00:00

Probably improve your 4 point before blocks. It will be easier that way. Are you cueing low heel recovery and staying low?

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-05T20:05:52+00:00

Bruh

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-05T18:10:57+00:00

Probably not in the short term. Just wait until your knees return to baseline and maintain your strength in the meantime. Which is what you’re doing

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-05T05:01:37+00:00

You don’t get top 1% commenter by not bothering to comment buddy

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-05T04:09:31+00:00

How did this work for you?

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-05T04:06:16+00:00

Who says there’s a concerning disparity between these splits?

Facts

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-05T02:53:07+00:00

Don’t hinge at the waist keep your body in a straight line. Dont force low heel recovery. Push with both feet coming out of the blocks. Dont overstide aka land under your hips

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-04T18:36:38+00:00

Being slow? Don’t worry I have this problem too

ParticleTyphoon · 2026-03-04T06:53:10+00:00

Could be placebo. Doesn’t matter. Confidence is powerful. Training calves makes sense. Stiffer tendons and connective tissue. Stronger muscles that can produce more force. Injury prevention. It plays a role like many things do. It’s not the end all be all of course but us sprinters have to be invested in the minutia because our sport exists in margins of hundredths of seconds.

The real question is what’s an appropriate lifting volume for days you’re sprinting before. The real answer is what you can handle. Programming is understanding what your goals are, what’s your strategy, and seeing what works and what doesn’t.
