I was a 13.26 hurdler in the early 2000s. My running days have been over for a long time now but I’ve learned a lot from your channel and using your videos to help my daughters become fast and athletic. Nice work Sir 👍
So does that means you should isometrically contract your calves and land with your midfoot (or forefoot) to propel you forward while running? Edit: 2:03 i guess i should really finish watching the video before typing. Great content, turns out I've been running wrong my whole life LMAO
IM RETARD HELP ME This means Acceleration requires less stiffness, because forces are forward Max velocity requires stiffness to keep the forces produced and dont lose it So, for a max veritcal jump, what u requiring, Less stiffness or max as possible?
@@FlowHighPerformance1 for standing vertical jump with both feet, softer tendons are better. Jumping off of one foot like high jumpers, having a much stiffer tendon/ ankle allows you to jump higher. Why? I don’t really know the actual bio science but I just figured this is most likely true.
How would I become less stiff in my tendons. I’ve realised my patellar and Achilles are stiff since I excel in top end sprinting. However, I play soccer and suck at acceleration. Is it because my tendons are too stiff?
do you recommend focusing on stiffness for one session and max power on another session for alternate days or do them in phases (e.g. 1 month stiffness, 1 month max power)?

glad to hear it 🏃♂️
Amazingly valuable, well explained & concise.
glad it was helpful 👍
great video~I hope you keep updating the video
Thanks!
no problem, appreciate the kind donation 🙏
Great video presentation.
Cheers 👍
Really good
excellent!
Very good

😂 glad it was useful
Me too! I came to this understanding naturally and sought out a vid to confirm this hypothesis.
How about optimal stiffness for distance runners?
I believe this is also beneficial for distance runner to improve running economy
What about running drils like A-skip and B-skip and fast leg will it help?
Possibly for in-experienced athletes learning how to sprint. I have never found running drills to be particularly effective with my athletes
Any excerise you recommend I can do to increase stiffness in the tendons
Sprinting and plyometrics
@@FlowHighPerformance1 could iso help stiffness? Since that tension seems to keep stability
@@sophiawoods6748 😂 watch the video. It has all the information you need.

This means
Acceleration requires less stiffness, because forces are forward
Max velocity requires stiffness to keep the forces produced and dont lose it

Vertical jump requires less stiffness that sprinting 👍

Softer tendons are not better for any jumping or sprinting 👍
How would I become less stiff in my tendons. I’ve realised my patellar and Achilles are stiff since I excel in top end sprinting. However, I play soccer and suck at acceleration. Is it because my tendons are too stiff?
No, tendon stiffness won't inhibit performance 👍
He has videos on acceleration too
what are good examples of isometric strength training?
Check out Alex natera for isometric exercises 👍
Does skipping increase ankle stiffness?
Yes, I would say so 👍
how helpful would this be for 4-8-mile runners
Can definitely be helpful to improve running economy 👍
i have a short achilles tendon, does that mean I am naturally slower?
Possibly. Although there are many other factors that determine sprint performance 👍
do you recommend focusing on stiffness for one session and max power on another session for alternate days or do them in phases (e.g. 1 month stiffness, 1 month max power)?
Plyometrics one session, power another session 👍
Isometrics would be huge for this
Agreed 👍
❤️❤️
Very good
