It’s been a little while but here’s another installment in the video blog series of how some of my elite athletes are training on the track and at my sport performance training center, Athletic Lab in NC.

From watching the vid, I got the feeling it was the skinnier guys that were excelling?. Again goes back to Dr. Weyand’s speed formula & the runner’s mass (take note of the cheetah’s lean body type), but I’m still not in agreement with him concerning more rapid leg movements aren’t a key factor, particularly during acceleration (Ben Seoul ’88). Bulking them up too much could end up being there demise. This is what I’m seeing with so many athletes.

I have noted Lemaitre seems to be getting increasingly leaner too.

Nice to see snippets from these type of sessions. At the mid point of our prime macro we have a 10+2+4 setup where four days of the first 10 (interspered w. medium level work) are very similar. Of course power output is significantly lower with my athletes.

BTW the earlier year videos were quite good as well.

Who’s the dude in the powder blue shirt at the very end of the clip? (the one modeling poor posture) Most facilities I know would toss him out…

I see you have some VA boys in there. A lot of talent. Keep up the good work. I like the videos because it gives me ideas that I can use here and there.
