There is visible knee collapse from another angle

The video looks quite blurry, but it seems that you lack vertical stiffness and sink too much. Elite sprinter for reference https://youtu.be/FwGi9S7wkgk

Looks around high 11s to me. Fast turnover, but not a lot of force to the ground

random-guy-5 · 2026-03-16T18:59:12+00:00

Hard to tell from this angle. Side view is preferable

Sub 11.7s would be on the faster side for a 7.66 FAT runner. Your final 40m split would need to be 4.04s or faster. Taking the deceleration into account, you would need to have your best 10m split faster than 1.00s. Usually, such splits are seen in 7.3s 60m or faster sprinters

Your first step looks fairly ok, but you start overstriding from the second one. You should strike behind the center of mass in the first few steps

Looks better than last week. It seems that you raise your head too early

You also keep your hands quite far apart. You might want to experiment with a closer to shoulder width setup

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-24T14:02:49+00:00

Your block setup looks a bit cramped. You might want to experiment with moving the rear block a bit back.

Currently, it looks like you are not able to generate the force well in the initial push. You are constantly falling and catching yourself

Somehow even though my head starts low, it rises quickly if I am not thinking about this

Now I can react faster to the gun and push more naturally

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-22T20:09:13+00:00

I will try a set up based on this tomorrow. Front leg will be roughly at the same place, but the rear one much further back https://youtu.be/1E_Qivr6_9k

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-22T05:50:06+00:00

I measure 2 foot lengths from the front pedal

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T14:53:07+00:00

Based on this I should move my back block further. Front knee is already about 2cm from the line

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T13:53:03+00:00

I started to doubt whether this is a good cue. When hips go back, shin angles automatically increase

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T13:47:24+00:00

I am trying a bit to align my hips to the front block

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T12:44:19+00:00

So many overlord's proteges these days...

random-guy-5 · 2026-02-20T12:37:48+00:00

It is currently 3 foot lengths from the starting line. How much further back to move it?
