Ground contact time
-
If you want to run faster, you have to apply more force down to the ground. One of the best ways to maximize your force production is to develop great frontside mechanics. So what are frontside mechanics? How are they different from backside mechanics? Can you gain one and lose another? Which one do you want? What does that all…

What are the key differences between the A-Skip and the B-Skip? Former Olympian and world record holder Wille Banks has all the answers. Whether you’re a sprinter or a jumper, these drills are essential for developing proper ground contact and technique. Most coaches focus on the leg action, but the real key to sprinting faster…

According to Dr. Ken Clark, every step you sprint from acceleration all the way through the end of a 100 meters or 200 meters, or you name it, you need to apply enough vertical impulse. Impulse is the product of force and time. It’s force applied for a period of time. You need to apply…
