3 Quick Fixes to Sprint Faster Immediately

Hi,

Im new to the forum but have been reading posts and articles etc for around about a year now and it has proved to be very helpful.

Im 22 and began athletics august 2012 and finished the season with 10.83 and 21,36 100m/200m.

My first 60m after two months training i recorded a 7.12 PB. 2 weeks ago in london i recorded a 7.14 and 7.16 and am not sure what has gone wrong.

After reading this post im thinking it might be due to a change of technique.

Last year i did no speed work whatsoever in the winter as my coach did not believe in it so i took it on myself to do it myself by doing one accel and one max v day a week and changing my technique ( ive watched a few lectures on loren seagraves sprint mechanics etc)

So i thought my pb should have improved a lot with a whole year training behind me but in fact i ran slower than my first race ever.

Any help would be appreciated

thanks 🙂

Your best bet would be to start a new thread, probably in this section of the forum:

Sprints

That way it will keep any info you get together, assuming you’re the same Jake James (which looking at your times is almost certain), I actually have a video of us doing the 200m at the BAL match at Derby last year. Start yourself a new thread and I’ll post up the video as it will make giving advice much easier if they can see your technique first hand.
