great video! many people know the things this man said such as how relaxing through lactic acid is far better than trying to fight it, but it helps to hear someone actually say it and give reasoning .
Great video... You could say that you can use this principal when it comes to lifting weights (I tend to tense my muscle, and lift lighter weights, to increase mind-muscle connection, but that's me) Thanks for the inspiration.
I’m trying to be mentally strong but I’m a sprinter, so we’re sprinting during every race and there’s no time for relaxing or pacing yourself during a 100, bc if your not giving your 100% effort your not going to make it
Sprinting is not about giving 💯 effort. 💯 Effort leads to tightening up. Delve I to all my videos to understand why. Good luck and thanks for the comment
during a 100, after your acceleration phase, you just need to not push anymore when you are decelerating. You're going to be slowing down, even more, trying to use energy that isn't there. Keep your face and shoulders relaxed and run your own race. That's how you relax during a 100.
Well on the right track. you won't be able to keep the same pace at the end of 400m. You keep the same effort though. Just don't try harder in the home straight.
You just said the coaches are wrong then in many words you said to work through it like they do except to stay relaxed during intense pain. What kind of help is that? The tightness in the jaw is called a grimace. It’s not to run faster but to endure torture without giving up. Maybe I missed your point but not an answer to my questions.
Thanks for the comment. I think you put a few words in my mouth that I definitely didn't use. you need to be fully invested in relaxation or understand its use to get benefit. Maybe watching a few more of my videos may help.
It's how he is approaching his race. Is he allowing nerves to get to him? Nerves tighten you up and therefore suck the endurance out of you for the last 100 Training is totally different from racing. So it could be how he feels on the start line of the race. Deep breathing might be a huge help to him just before he gets in the blocks
@@Pierre18266 I don't know what he s doing in training. Is he doing speed endurance? How often is he training? Is his PB Improving regularly? Without being rude, I don't want to go into specific training programs here. There are plenty of 400m training programs out there. This channel is about trying to change athletes and coaches approach to training and racing and promote relaxarion as that is the missing ingredient. Deep breathing is my advice before he races and before he does every rep in training. My video on breathing is here. th-cam.com/video/YRu7wTbEPxM/w-d-xo.html Try it out yourself so that you can feel it. Then you can explain it better to your athlete. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the information sir that worked for me aswell but isnt it that lactate is actually a base and the burn that we feel is due to accumulation of free H+ ion making our blood acidic then lactate helps to erase these ions easing out the burn.. ( thus not due to lactic acid)
You need powerful shoulders and a very strong core. Persons dont tighten up because of choice. If you run 🏃♀️ 400m you wouod understand. Its easier said than done
Always about conditioning ....but the last 100 will hurt ...if your running at 89/90% ...ohurogu is not a good example ..always tainted by 3 missed tests ....
Well no. My fastest 400m and 400 m hurdles races were the easiest. Conditioning is indeed an important part but only a part. Many athletes do all the conditioning, never miss a training session, train hard and their performances stagnate and maybe get worse. It's because they only saw their training as fitness. There s much more to it.
@@RelaxedSprinting Thank you for responding , I just wanted to know if the person I’m learning from actually has 400m experience, I’m in college right now and I’m currently running a 48, trying to study relaxation to get to the 47, 46 range
@@motivani That's cool. Thanks for the question. Considering where you are in your career, you should be very confident of getting that 46 ;) Best wishes, Andy
Keep relaxed the last 100? Easier said than done!
For real, people be BOLTING through the first 100 how am I supposed to keep up
@@JAS-3030 build race plan, remember to run your own race, and stick to it
Actually it’s more easier done than said
don't push the last 100, just relax your face, pump your arms, and control your breathing. It's going to hurt whether you take the race fast or slow.
Work💫 and keep ur form

relax for a 400 not 100
Thanks for advice
Thanks for the tip man
So in other words relax, use your arms, and keep the same pace.

Tell that to Michael Johnson and Wayde Van Niekerk
Thank you for this.
You' re welcome. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for advice
I have athlete that build up lactate only in the last 100m of 400m. Never in training
Any advice

What can he do in training to avoid lactic acid build up in race day

How do you relax ..like your arm action ...how to tuck your hands

Very good point. You maybe correct.. The reason I used the term is that people understand it as "lactic".
Thanx

I was 400m flat and 400m hurdler.
