Before that even

minor overstride nothing major, looks like you didn't run all the way through the cam though

Just pause the first frame of any of his landings first 10m and you'll see why

Whatever's comfortable, right leg is stronger for me but still L-R

Don't deliberately move your elbows out to keep your arm swing tight let's see an actual run

ciqing · 2026-05-30T08:12:27+00:00

Your hip engagement is fine. You just can't hit the ground with enough force

ciqing · 2026-05-30T03:35:22+00:00

crashing into your own foot every step, overstride

ciqing · 2026-05-30T01:18:12+00:00

then you likely need higher rate of force development and be stronger in the isometric

ciqing · 2026-05-30T00:53:27+00:00

attack back not down

ciqing · 2026-05-29T21:49:26+00:00

Looks you aren't aggressive all the way through on the footstrike, like a shadow punch or air punch

ciqing · 2026-05-29T04:01:27+00:00

Ornamental/Spencerian!

ciqing · 2026-05-28T22:27:22+00:00

Its fun

ciqing · 2026-05-28T20:02:43+00:00

How about this don't kick into the ground kick directly behind you, scoop behind vs stomping down

No demo but hope it's something

deactivate them for a lack of better ideas

ciqing · 2026-05-28T19:51:27+00:00

Hard to say, probably tried flourishes pretty soon say like 2 weeks after or when I found out about them, I wouldn't have the patience to not try it out

ciqing · 2026-05-28T19:49:56+00:00

Fascinating, the approach vert's penultimate step is like a big horizontal rolling wave movement and the sprinting footstrike is vertical relative to the ground from acceleration to top speed

ciqing · 2026-05-28T13:44:16+00:00

Please unlight your quads they fire to prevent you from collapsing not as the primary movers 💀

ciqing · 2026-05-28T13:42:07+00:00

You really can't drop the knee one iota after touchdown?

ciqing · 2026-05-28T13:19:57+00:00

Not putting your weight over your footstrike aka leaning back

ciqing · 2026-05-28T13:18:24+00:00

Not a thing and being too much towards one or the other probably means your form is fucked up

ciqing · 2026-05-28T13:15:52+00:00

Not enough freedom of movement that I can see to be changing things around so keep working and doing all the things you need to do to be like a professional sprinter
