One Pre-Race Tip Sprinters Must Apply To Run Faster | The Great Athlete Tip
Nerves can be a benefit before a race or a negative. How you think just before and during the race will be crucial.
When we think negatively before a race, we will be thinking of how the race won't go well which will raise levels of stress. Stress will weaken your body and lower motivation. Your body essentially goes into shutdown and go into a protective defensive state.
Your body cannot perform if it is defending. Stress causes your body to defend.
So we need to lower stress. This tip will help you do that and put your body in its optimal, strong state to do your best time.

HOW R
how-relaxation-improves-endurance-400m
For #400m #athletes, #endurance is crucial to lasting the race. But endurance isn't all about training hard and getting fitter. Endurance is all about energy conservation as well. The ability to use up as little energy as possible per stride so you have enough in the home straight. So we train on the track to practise the movement and once we practise it enough, we teach our bodies to use energy efficiently.
However one thing that will suck energy out of you is parasitic tension. This is a constant underlying tension in the body built up through habit. But this kind of tension is not beneficial in 400m running. It does nothing but exhaust the body and contributes nothing to your running stride.
In runners, parasitic tension is tension in the shoulders and jaw. Even the elite world class athletes are guilty of it to an alarming degree. All the energy used up by jaw and shoulder tesnion is taking energy and oxygen away from the running stride. You have a limited amout of energy for your race. You need it to be used for what you are doing, namely running.
Also parasitic tension could be an indication of compensation patterns in your body. This means muscles overuse to take up the flak of muscles that are not doing their job. In this case, if you have tension in your shoulders and jaw then these could be compensating for your inactive hip muscles such as glutes and hip flexors. So much so that you're shopulders and jaw need to be tight to get the hips to move. This is how compensation works in the human body and this not only ruins performance but will lead to injury.
The best way to relieve parasitic tension is to relax. Relaxation brings order to your body and brings unity. You bring about relaxation by feeling your body and breathing. And you must practise this before each rep in training. This is the base that you need to practise. And with this practise you will be able to relax more while running or sprinting. In 100m or 400m and you'll find yourself overtaking athletes in the home straight.

WHY S
why-stretching-does-not-help-sprinting
So if you are sprinter, should you stretch? Stretching has been considered sancrosanct for not just sprinting performance but in general health and fitness, any sport performance and for preventing injury. Every reputable running source will advocate stretching for flexibility and preventing injury. Most coaches and health leaders would prescribe stretching in their cool downs and even (still) in their warm ups. Is it worth it though and does it help you run faster or prevent injury? This video is a mixture of research blended with my own experiences of stretching plus an explanation of why a muscle is tight in the first place. It explains why I'm not a big fan and how it's counterproductive to relaxed sprinting as well. I throw in a bit of common sense for good measure.
Firstly the research links I promised in the video.
Effect of Acute Static Stretching on Force, Balance, Reaction Time, and Movement Time (you can download the paper from the link below)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15292749/
Musculoskeletal training injury prevention in the U.S. Army: Evolution of the science and the public health approach (higher injury rate in both inflexible and flexible subjects)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29602720/
Altered reflex sensitivity after repeated and prolonged passive muscle stretching
https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/jappl.1999.86.4.1283
Reduced strength after passive stretch of the human plantarflexors

BLOCK
block-starts-what-sprinters-should-be
So what is the key to a great block start in the 100m or 200m? #Blockstarts are the foundation of any form of #sprinting. Get a good start and this sets you up perfectly. So sprinters, you're in the blocks, you're ready to go and blast out and dominate the race. What should you be thinking about? Keeping low? That first step? Well no. You should be thinking very little because the present moment is more important than anything you've got to do. This will be the foundation for your sprinting technique. So when you're called to your marks, you should be taking a few deep diaphragmatic (belly) breaths as you get into the blocks. To learn how to breathe correctly, go here. This is a veyr under appreciated but crucial skill. Link to correcct breathing technique at the end of the description. As you wait for the set, you should be breathing and in the present moment. When you hear set, you should be calmly waiting for the gun. This is where you will be at your most powerful and this sets you up for a great race for you. Relaxation is crucial to optimal sprint performance and is severely underrated in sprint training.

SPRIN
sprinters-this-1-thing-is-more-important
For most athletes, fitness is everything. Even for #Sprinters whose races are only seconds in duration. Fitness is the corner stone of their confidence. If they feel unfit then that is negative energy on the race. They will not be confident ot race. Now #fitness is important. You have to have consistent training for the most part but being unfit is generally part of the course and if you are an athlete, you will have to compete when you are unfit.
So what is the one thing that is more important than fitness and which underpins an athlete's performance?
How good you feel.
How good you feel dictates the quality of the training and racing you do. It dictates your speed and also your #sprintingtechnique. If you don't feel good then you are stressed and if you are stressed, your anxious and tense. Tension is the enemy of speed and power. You are also more susceptible to injury. Research has shown a strong correlation between stress and injury (Nippert et al. 2008). This is generally ignored by sport probably because of the fitness addiction of the coach and athlete.
Mental Health also raises the bar higher than fitness.
Now I am muscle activaiton specialist and I use a method called Be-Activated that activates muscles such as glutes. By doing this, it brings the athlete into his/her natural state because all muscles are active aand doing their job. Sprinters feel relaxed and calm and actually their muscles upgrade their performance almost immediately inside a 60 minute session.
Nearly every athlete needs this, regardless of their calibre because we all live in the same world with the same technology (the main cause of stress, anxiety). I have yet to come across an athlete who didn't benefit from Be-Activated.
If you live near Taunton, Somerset and you are a sprinter, athlete or sports person then you need to get in touch with me. If you feel that your stress management could be better then this is your opportunity.
This session would benefit young athletes especially and will teach them how to deal with stress and challenges later on in life.

DON'T
don't-rely-on-your-training-how-to-relax
Athletes have a tendancy to be tunnel visioned when it comes to their training. They're borught up on "Train the hardest you can and you'll succeed" mentality. This is the doctrine we're brought up with in life and in sport and to be honest, It should be as simple as this for us athletes and sprinters but unfortunately it's not. For all of us looking to get faster 100m 200m 400m if we resolutely adopt this philosophy, it can only lead to injury and frustration in any kind of running for that matter. But why? The problem is that humans have become "intelligent" and learnt how to think. Why is this bad? Isn't this a good thing? Well for most of us, we have started to think TOO much. Don't get me wrong, thinking has helped us to design and enhance technology to an unbelievable level. Thinking has progressed science for all of us to live happier and healthier lives. However, along with the rise of advancements in technology, unhelpful negative thinking has also risen which means our negative thought patterns which are essentially bad habits of the mind. Unfortunately, this is because we haven't trained ourselves to handle the advances in technology. We've allowed ourselves to be hypnotised by our phones and also the mainstream media. This may sound like another conspiracy theory but if you look at how much time we spend on our phones and at the content of what we collectively read and watch, you'll find most of it is negative and unhelpful to our bodies for health and wellbeing but also for athletic ability. This is what the media have found to be most useful for keeping people watching so that they can generate cash. Post something controversial and negative and it is likely to promote anger or guilt in people and this will prompt reaction and "debate" (another word for arguing) which leads to a larger profile. This channel is all about helping sprinters run faster but we must consider these sociological aspects that are seemingly unrelated to sprinting. It comes down to this. Is our bodies healthy and ready and prepared to sprint at our optimum? If you're driven by anger, resentment and guilt (because of life experiences) then you are most definitely not. And any training you do, however hard you do it, will always be hampered by a faulty foundation.
This may be tough to hear for some athletes to hear because the sociological aspects are maybe exactly what some athletes are trying to "run away" from. the sport is an escape for them.
More on this in another video.
If you know you are addicited to your phone then it is likely that you're thinking too much. And if you are thinking too much, the thoughts we think are likely to be negative and stressful. This adversely effects our body (what's in the mind is in the body) and weakens us and hampers our strength and speed.
So adding these thought patterns onto hard training is detrimental and although you might get short term success (especially if you're young) , it will not be sustainable for long term progress.
This video goes into the trappings of solely relying on yourtraining for your performance and ignoring the other invisible obstacles that are preventing you from being in top form.
