Acceleration phase is the most important. Which is one thing I have always liked about the event; you cant be a flake. You have to be fully committed and focused from the very beginning
Don't get me wrong, Carl Lewis is a brilliant sprinter and one of the all time greats. But it's clear there's a reason why he kept on losing to others in the start. No dig and drive phase at all, his head keeps going up right on the 2nd step out of the blocks. Imagine he could be a 9.8 seconds sprinter and below if he improved that aspect of his race.
+rvind92g I agree, starting techniques for taller men have improved massively the last 30 years, as well as track shoes and tracks. Apply those factors and a little more weight training, not much just a little on his upper body to give more explosiveness, Carl would have knocked 0.15 of his PB. I think he'd have run similar times to Asafa Powell, low 9.70's at peak.
His arms are all wrong as well. Watch is non power arm, it does not drive forward from the gun. His power arm goes back straight and he does not bend at the elbow. He pushes out of the blocks like superman almost holding a pose. No low heal recovery either so his feet are like a whole foot off the ground for his first 2 steps. Yikes!!
@@thomassmith4999 no...you missed it... it's a speed sport....the fastest is the best...fuck the form! Asafa looks very pleasant to look at while running...but you know who's the best...you now get my point!
Acceleration: If top speed is reached after 6.1 seconds, the distance covered in 6.1 s by the top sprinter is around 55-58 metres - NOT "60-70 m", as coach Tellez is saying!
i am new to sprinting...if carl has his left foot forward, that would mean it is his more powerful leg, wouldn't most sprinters have the right foot forward?
No, usually it's the left. Same foot a right-handed dunker launches from when doing a one-foot takeoff. Always do unilateral training to be as balanced as possible, though.
65m of acceleration. 100m divided by 65m = 1.538. This is very close to the GOLDEN SECTION (fibonnaci spiral) The measurement that the universe is built upon. There is a perfect way to do everything. The golden section ratio is 1.618. Take 100m and divide by 1.618 and you get 61m. 2500 years ago, Pythagoras would have used this calculation to determine that 61m of acceleration is the ideal and most efficient method. Very interesting. Also take a look at the spiral of a professional golf swing.
Hello there Phil. Just one thing to make it clear: acceleration unit is m/ s/s, or if you prefer m/s2(I mean elevated to the 2). So, not to confuse anybody the 61 are not metres, which is lineal , but 61m/s/s which is acceeleration. Very interesting comment. You got me into maths and physics again....plus what I most love, Art. Thank you!
Phil Moufarrege ok look out, 153 is also the number of fish Jesus had the disciples catch . ( at the current time being the total number of species know by people I.e Aristotle ,). Archimedes used 153 as the constant denominator to configure 3.14 , 252/153 Do you realize that the square root of 153 is 12.36 = the exact number of months in a lunar calendar. Also 153 is the number of degrees covered in 2 conjoined circles with equal radi the Vesicia Pisces.
Adrian Trot He is saying for 61 meters you should accelerate. 61 m/s2 of acceleration is outrageously high. Like super sports car level. Also the acceleration in sprinting is not constant. It starts off high as you go from zero to exploding out of the blocks and then approaches zero as you get closer to top speed. Because of this nobody discusses what the actual measured acceleration is. It is hard to make sense of it in your head. Rather people breaking the sprint down just discuss split times at 10 meter marks as well as velocity at various points in the race.
Carl was an esthete by nature. No sprinter ever had the elegance of Carl. Pure talent. The sprinter in perfection. Bolt runs like a farmer in comparison
football players lose speed due the weight the put on more than bad mechanics through playing football. Also Carl's start wasn't something you would want to emulate as a 100 m runner.
I like this start off the blocks much better than this Modern Trend toward looking like the legs are stiff and not getting a full range of motion. I don't know which is most effective time wise, though.
it's funny to see they are at university of houston track....but it's not as fancy then as it is now...and to think that the youngsters running on it today in 2022 wont be born for another 15 years from this video LOLOL
They explain the reason in terms of ATP being used up and having to switch energy systems after 5-7 seconds. But for comparison, when a horse runs a 400m it is still accelerating over half way through and then maintains that speed. So I don’t know why a horse is able to do that with an extra load on its back. It runs 400 meters in about the same time a human runs 200 meters. So that’s like a human accerating for 100 meters and then maintaining for 100 meters. But when humans run 200 meters they are slowing after about 60 to 70 meters the whole way.
Could Some body please shed some light on why or why not the most important thing in terms of training to increase running speed is training with the team? lots of love continual safe perfect successes respectfully yours adonaitsidkenu:):):):):) what gorgeous human beings Tom And Carl are their entire lives mainly preoccupied with sprinting faster
its the competition aspect , competeing and running against the best and doing it with friends working as a team will make you work harder and try harder , than trying to do it all on your own .
Completely wrong - the so called drive phase should be maximally 10 metres long so that one can hit one's rhythm as soon as possible; Ben Johnson and "Flojo" showed the way forward getting to upright position inside some 10 m.
I wish I saw these instruction videos when I competed. Great insights!
Carl Lewis..the most talented ever and was such a delight to see him run. He remain number one ever till that day [2019]

Excellent athlete. Thanks for sharing

Tellez is a great coach, but an awkward public speaker. Lewis is a class act.
He is not. Watch his other videos
Great video man. Thanks

nice

looks good but what happened to the DIG AND DRIVE faze i noticed he came out the blocks right into exceleration mode.........
It's cool that you caught that, I was going to send this to an athlete about drive phase but I changed my mind .
Respectfully, it's spelled acceleration.
Plus, you're totally right. This is useful but outdated.
@@efisgprFalse - especially because it, as you say, is useful!
He was the Most beautiful
i am new to sprinting...if carl has his left foot forward, that would mean it is his more powerful leg, wouldn't most sprinters have the right foot forward?
Joseph Pawlowski Right leg has all of the speed i.e. reaction speed, so you want that foot moving out the blocks first and push off with the left.
No, usually it's the left. Same foot a right-handed dunker launches from when doing a one-foot takeoff.
Always do unilateral training to be as balanced as possible, though.

I was told there would be no math.
Carl Lewis is the most talented athlete of the decade✌️🤫❤️❤️🏃🏃
Carl Lewis' running form and elegance is unreached to date.
If u reach max speed at 60 m why dont they do a 60m run up for long jump? They do maybe 50 m max
At 4:10 . . . I’m not the math guy but is that 101% ?? Is that why he was so good?😂
Great outfit at 3:20.
Lmao
Carl Lewis
Carl Lewis and Justin Gatlin the best sprinters of all time i love they techniques for runnings somebody can put subtitles in spanish for this video ?
Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake-Tyson Gay are the best sprinters of all time.
@@Henke12 time-wise yes. But technique-wise I agree its Gatlin and then Lewis

Increase speed through "activities"
He loses alot of time rotating the back foot out of the blocks. He is supposed to keep it low to the ground.
it's funny to see they are at university of houston track....but it's not as fancy then as it is now...and to think that the youngsters running on it today in 2022 wont be born for another 15 years from this video LOLOL
I still cant believe that world class sprinters decelerate on 100m i would.like.to see a velocity check on them all.
Just look up their 10-meter splits.
They explain the reason in terms of ATP being used up and having to switch energy systems after 5-7 seconds. But for comparison, when a horse runs a 400m it is still accelerating over half way through and then maintains that speed.

Lewis's femurs are unbelievably long...they're also straight as an arrow...perfect genetics for running fast....
modern starts: keep the heels down on the initial drive. air time = wasted time.

Tony vent block start
Great instruction but that quality 'dough
This block start too bad. Too much cycle
Imagine how much faster he would have been with a longer drive phase instead of bolting straight up.
Completely wrong - the so called drive phase should be maximally 10 metres long so that one can hit one's rhythm as soon as possible; Ben Johnson and "Flojo" showed the way forward getting to upright position inside some 10 m.
Tellez recommended the "drive phase" to be completed inside 10 m...
For me, it's 99% reaction time..
Steve Filangee that's why u lose after 5m
Did not know about low heel recovery then. Start is atrocious!
This should say CARL LEWIS with Tom Tellez. A 5'6 white man with no sprinting experience had anything to due with Carl Lewis gold medals trust me.
