Nice Repost from @davidsadkin Weighted vest zone runs!! We often utilise towing or pushing movements to aid with acceleration (which is awesome) but sometimes forget about tools 🛠 that can help with upright sprinting 🏃‍♂️
Here we set up a zone in which the athlete builds up to a requested % and maintains that % throughout a desired distance ⏱. 💡 for me I want to see an exaggerated frequency (spinning your legs 🦵🏻), slightly shorter than normal gait, frontside mechanics, parallel shin (figure 4), and attack the ground from above 🔨 😡
🚫collapse and spend to long on the floor (keep the vest light), over rotate and allow legs to swing out behind you, slow down or overstride. 🔑 Why use a weighted vest? Well as we know ground contact time is a pivotal kinematic of upright sprinting (amongst a whole array of other spatiotemporal variables 🧪) so by creating an additional load on top of 🌍 gravity, it will force the athlete to create greater vertical force (yes will spend slightly longer on the ground) but when contrasted with body weight it can give a euphoric feeling of lightness, frequency (turnover) and subsequently decrease contact times 📉
*these athletes make it look 👀 a lot easier than it is 🏃‍♂️ #maxvelocity #runningstrength #resistancetraining #education #roadtotokyo #challenge #runfast #highknees #coacheseye #drills #mechanics #technique #trackandfield #strength #power #sprinting #running #speed #athletelife #performance #consistency #fast #speedwork #speeddrills #explosive #execution #movement #progression #slowmotionvideo #tracknation

Repost from Ex Marine Raider @nickkoumalatsos This mornings training consisted of a 60 minute walk. Just getting use to the Jody moving again. Of course I had the grand idea of throwing on the 50lbs @raptor_weight_vests about a quarter mile in I immediately regretted that decision..... lol.
