I have added these concepts even to my distance training(more press down and less knee bend) and this solves a lot of calf issues as you repower quads and flexors and rely less on the calf muscles to polish the gait
how do you get to the forefoot in actual sprinting but still adhere to the postures in these drills. I found in the past when i'm that upright I land with my heel or completely flat footed and it kind of takes my foot and ankles out of it? The contact is solid but theres no spring and seems like a lot of force going though my joints, which is find when doing drills and dribbles and cueing exercises but I don't sprint flat footed and not very many people do. How do you connect that elastic feeling in your calfs at toe off to this model, especially as you're not allowed to lean forward (from the ankles)? ...... I'm sure I'm probably making some incorrect assumptions. Would you be able to clarify or make a video on that please.
look up a guy called les spellman he has heaps of stuff on it. This guy is pretty good too. You're not actually really pushing with your calves they're just like springs to hold that energy your glutes and hip flexors are what drives you. Ankle will pretty much be flexed most of the time less puush
@@Zinkx. oh yeah I know about Spellman, I’ll have a closer look at the content maybe I missed some stuff. The stuff about not actively pushing makes sense to me, part that I have the most trouble visualising as a model is the ground contact as the athletes torso and hips come to vertical at top speed, since that wouldn’t give any angle to use foot as a spring and make it difficult to hit the correct placement on the ground. especially if as its hitting the ground from the recovery it’s likely to be dorsiflexed. I suppose attacking with your head give you a slight lean to set up those angles as opposed to being bolt upright and forcing the load through the quad more and probably point the toes comparatively more (we pretty much do a little unilateral micro squat anyway on every step lol maybe it’s about preparing for that in the recovery phase? )?... That’s what I was thinking about anyway. I’ll check out somemore Spellman, saw the short video on getting the foot contact further back on the foot, like in pogo hops. Let me know what you think
@@E4zyp34zyl3m0nsq33ZY yeah man specifically the stuff on like ankling and the A progressions A-walk/march/skip ect which is all about how you should be hitting the ground and what posture. Because you foot should be landing under the hip just like in a skip think ball to "mid foot" kinda area not toes and you're using the the extension of your glutes to do all the pushing all glutes fam then hipsflexers to bring back up.

This is gold.

tbh If you message me I would probably pay for a few answers to some of my questions. Let me know, thanks!
how do you attack the ground with your head ?

Excellent coaching,only sound quality could improve.
I can do it better it feels like I have time to recover my leg faster🙂🙂 inshort it feels like I am not running but cycling
