last night, i was thinking about something after i had watched some videos of 100m and 200m sprints…I dont know if this means anything or not, but figured id share it with you all…
Do you think that shutting down 10-20m from the line in the 100m and 200m aids towards peaking for some athletes, maybe mentally i would guess…
becuase after watching Gay’s 200m race at the Adidas classic, it was obvious that he in 19.60 something shape already, i mean there was a -1.7 wind and he chilled the last 20m. If he goes to nationals and run 19.80 people will say he peaked at the right time, but if he had ran the previous race hard, then he may have ran his fastest race of the year too early…
do you think athletes know this during the race, and decide that they dont want to run that fast yet…Obviously Usain Bolt didnt really do that…but i dunno, what you all think…
