If you're a sprinter, there is a simple technique you could be doing to make yourself instantly quicker on the track. Learn about it in this video. Sprinters are focused on their training to quicker times but there is one thing that could decide how much they are benefiting from their training. Breathing is of upmost importance and yet most of us think we do it correctly because we do it automatically Not so Stress and challenges of life have altered our breathing patterns and unless we learn to correct them then we compromise our ability to perform on the track. Not breathing affects our strength levels, our energy, our posture, our flexibility and our abiltity to be injury free. It also creates tension which is the enemy of sprinting and contrary to our natural sprint form. Relaxation is crucial to optimal sprinting and yet it's undervalued. Learn how to breathe correctly and you could bring down that time so easily.

When you ran well, it was because your body ran on instinct. When you are relaxed for #sprinting , you just allow your body to take over. Your natural sprint mechanics take over and you move in a way your body is happiest and free. That's why you cannot remember many of your best races. It was because you just let your body take over and you're were NOT thinking. The thing is most #athletes fall into a trap of training on a gerbil wheel. You can do all the training in the world and be the most committed athlete but if you don't get this part right then you'll get results at the beginning of your career but you'll hit plateau after plateau. So how do you get it right? It's all about what you do or how you feel before the gun goes off. Those minutes before the race. Are you preparing your mind and body to run in sync? The best way to prepare your body is to cease all thinking and root yourself in the here and now. To do that, you just feel your body, Breathe deeply (don't force the breath), feel your fingers rubbing against eachother, feel your body, squeeze your glutes. Then rinse and repeat. Practise this in training before each rep and when you do this, you are practising the right preparation for the ultimate sprinting performance.

Much of sprinting fast is about letting go of bad habits that are holding you back. If you've been following my channel for a while, you'll know the power and importance of relaxation for sprinting speed, power and endurance. It's the only way to find that flow state. We know that tension and anxiety, if left to run amok in your body, will shut down your muscles and slow you down. It will bascially disable your potential. If you are wondering why you are so tight when you sprint then this video is for you. The thing is, how we look at tension and anxiety and relaxation is important in how we approach being in a relaxed state for sprinting. The truth is that we are actually holding onto tension and anxiety. We're just NOT LETTING it go. We're not trying to gain relaxation, we trying to let go of the tension and anxiety so that we uncover the relaxation. too often, and I am guilty of this, we try too hard to gain relaxation. Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it but it's true. The reason we try hard is because we've been brought up, since a very young age, to put in effort to achieve everything and when you put in effort, this tightens us up. So let go of tension and anxiety, we need to put in as little effort as possible - maybe no effort. This goes against the grain of our teachings but it's a habit we must change now. So in this video, i give 4 tips to help you let go of tension and anxiety. By the way, you need to practise these tips thoguhout the day so you can perfect in pressures of competition. 1. To recognise the tension. You need to be able to notice it and look at objectively 2. You need to accept the tension and anxiety and even enjoy it being there as believe it or not, it's trying to teach you something (This is crucial!) 3. Rub your thumb and middle finger together on each hand and finally 4. Breathe. Imagine on exhalation that the tension is leaving the body. Once you perfect these 4 tips, you are on the way to your natural state, that flow state and your fastest ever times.
