Coach J weekly: "force in the right direction = speed"
Saturday - After a lot of good work Tuesday and Thursday this was a technical session with the focus on using wicket / strides drill to work on form during the top speed and speed maintenance phases of the race. The emphasis was on stepping up and over and driving down into the track. Watch the wicket drill below as we will be doing again.
20mtrs acceleration - 20mtrs floating/cycling - 20mtrs max velocity sprint to line
Remember the cues for you for each phase=
acceleration - lean, drive knee from chest back down behind centre of mass, BIG ARMS, BIG LEGS
transition/floating cycling= less arms, relaxed upper body, lean now circa 5 to 10degree, cycling legs with high knee and driving into the track [ Force in the right direction = speed ]
Max Velocity - Big arms back, drive foot down into track under your centre of mass.
