@@jimmyscutts8082 I do have online plans. I got rid of my website, but I'd you email me at coachwellingtondevelops@gmail.com we can talk about it more.
First of all wanted to Thank you for the knowledge that you shared with us your time and you effort it is much appreciated, I wanted to know if you could talk about the breathing while sprinting thank you.
Hey this may be a dumb question but in sprinting I have a little bit of a dilemma. So I was told that ground force is what makes a sprinter fast but I tried putting a lot of force, almost like a hammer and there has been no noticeable improvements. Then I question should your legs focus on going forward with knee and quad drive? Or does everything go downwards?
Pwnya145 it is a mixture of the two. The force back into the track is what makes you faster. The higher the knee/quad drive the more force you will be able to put back into the track. Your arms are also important in the force being placed back into the track.
Should you focus on legs forward and arms downward? Like if you were to explain where the forces go how would you explain it? For example, I'm understanding legs going horizontally forward and arms vertically down.
Remember if your thinking too much about hitting the ground hard your movements might be slower it should flow a bit its al about speed, the best analogy I've heard is your legs should be (somewhat) like pistons you want to hit the ground hard then explode back up then back down as quickly as you can
Joseph Mendez yes. Increase your strength and power in your legs (deadlifts, box jumps, jump squats, single leg lunges, etc). Your hand is depending on your preference. Some run with their hands open and vice versa.
I notice the runner in this video will sprint with fingers outstretched and arms tight.. isn't it important to stay relaxed while in the full motion of sprinting?? I can understand tension at the start of a race coming out of the blocks and gaining momentum but after 30 meters everything from the waist up should be at ease
vince11baller harris speeds endurance, speed endurance , speed endurance . Running intervals between 60-150 meters at at least 90-100 percent. And obviously make sure you Technique running gets better.
A couple of observations. Velocity is speed in a particular direction, i.e. straight line speed. Your definition at 00:32 is not correct. It should say, *distance* in a period of time, in a straight line. And the athlete in the video is performing a "modified" running stride to increase stride length. Mostly, only elite athletes do this but the trade-off is an increase in injuries. You should only teach this with high-performance athletes that can handle it, not show it to up and coming athletes who are still developing.
You can teach wicket drills to any age of athlete, especially ones that are developing. The only change would be the distance between the wickets. Obviously their speed, strength, and power may not be that of an athlete that is elite, but the premise is the same, teach mechanics, and how to run full speed and apply force while doing it.
Not necessarily. It will solely depend on the athlete. Take it from two different ends of the spectrum. You may have a youth kids that run extremely fast when young, but as they get older, their bodies start to change, and the plateau. Then you may have a kid that wasn't as good as a youth, has some effort placed into them, and they blossom. Then you have the elites, who run fast, but as they get into the mid to late 20s, they start flying. It all depends on the individual.
Hey ! I started to watch your videos since now, they are very nice and detailed, all my life i had to have endurance because of cage fights but i am so, so bad at sprinting. Just a question, should i follow these steps in your videos or should i start slower ? Thanks for all effort with these videos, i know its not simple to make a video like this, all the luck man
If you are just starting out, you can work our way up, but sprinting helps power output. Being a cage fighter, putting power into your punches, kicks, etc would benefit you as a fighter. Get your general endurance up (Mileage, general strengthen, etc), then work your way up.
People have no idea how good this advice is. Seriously!
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Incredible videos. It's the micro details that make a difference in sprints! Thanks Michael!
Always in the details. It is my pleasure sir.
@@coachwelly Do you offer online coaching plans? Website?
@@jimmyscutts8082 I do have online plans. I got rid of my website, but I'd you email me at coachwellingtondevelops@gmail.com we can talk about it more.
Thank you for educating me on your progressions from acceleration to Max Velocity! Great Videos Michael!
CrossFit Huntington Beach thank you. It is my pleasure.
Amazing videos bro. Incorporating most of these videos for my brothers training.
Keep it up.
From Australia
My pleasure. Hope they help you out sir.
Really appreciate the videos. Great explanation of sprint mechanics. Great job
My pleasure. Glad I could help.
First of all wanted to Thank you for the knowledge that you shared with us your time and you effort it is much appreciated, I wanted to know if you could talk about the breathing while sprinting thank you.
I could make a video about that...Stay tuned.
Micheal Wellington needed this as im prepping to run a 60 yard dash in 2 days and wanna stand out with my time. Thank you!
add
Great stuff, very helpful videos you put out. Thank you.
My pleasure and thank you. Hope it helps you out.
just a tinie winie mistake, velocity , distance(displacement) over time 0:31
Track&Field I was going to make the same comment. #nerdsunite lol
velocity is a vector...speed is not...
sir can u also make a video on breathing while sprinting/running
I can do that
also should we keep our core engaged while sprinting/running? because I have problems doing it
Yes
Micheal Wellington tysm
@@coachwelly Wait so i should squeeze my abs while sprinting? Not relaxing?
@@SunOmega you want to engage your core, but also stay relaxed in your body.
@@coachwelly you mean i should squeeze hard my core?
Thanks i have three races on february the 14th 100m,200m,400m
Good. Hope it helps.
What does stepping over my knee mean? Please explain.
Your heel, as you cycle through to the front side of your body, it literally steps over opposite knee, and that continues throughout your run.

@@Pwnya145 focus on getting extension and pulling it back during too end
Should I work out my legs to sprint faster? Or will that make me slow? Also should I make have my hands in a fist?
Joseph Mendez yes. Increase your strength and power in your legs (deadlifts, box jumps, jump squats, single leg lunges, etc). Your hand is depending on your preference. Some run with their hands open and vice versa.
How many time sprinters workout in a day please reply
If you are sprinting, 1 time a day is all you need.

It's really whatever is comfortable to the runner. Some run with hands open, some with hands closed.
Sir, how to reduce running time
There are several ways
Tell
Hello Mr Wellington, what are the best ways to imrpove top end speed for a 100m/200m sprinter
vince11baller harris speeds endurance, speed endurance , speed endurance . Running intervals between 60-150 meters at at least 90-100 percent. And obviously make sure you Technique running gets better.
@@coachwelly poor speed endurance can makes sprinter slower 2-3 seconds? even he has good top speed?
@@R888ZZZZZ not 2 or 3 seconds. A few tenths or hundredths of a second yes.

1 km in 3:02 the best, 60m 6,5 the best. So i'll try anyway.. Thanks alot !
should I have my toes up while running
Len Len Doris flexed, yes
Micheal Wellington what if I cant keep it Dorisflexed is there much difference
You have to practice doing it.
Micheal Wellington is it worth? how can I practise that also
Len Len yrs you should. It's helps with force application which is where speed comes from
0:33 0:35 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Touche
Your head is not at "sea level", It's just LEVEL (as level as can be). How can you even know if it's level or not. I know what "level headed" is . . .
I don't think you got it... The caption said "SEE" level, which makes it Level. Get it
Awesome stuff coach
Richard James thank you sir. I hope it helps.
Micheal Wellington it did
how give in bireth
syed jabir I don't understand what you are asking sir.
my son his breathing problem
Does he have asthma, or does he simply not know how to breathe when running?
Awesome stuff coach
🙏
