Tomorrow we build the engine šŸŽļøšŸ’Ø Speed conditioning isnā€™t about going all-out every rep. Itā€™s about learning to produce quality speed, hold your mechanics when fatigue starts showing up, and build the capacity to handle more work over time. Different stimulus. Same mission: get faster. SPEED SUNDAYS āš”ļø ā° 8:30 AM šŸ“ Guelph Registration through the link in bio. by @sprinterharris

Acceleration is about building momentum. Get the first foot down. Rip the second leg through. Keep giving yourself opportunities to apply force into the ground. There will be a time to soarā€¦ when weā€™re at top speed. But early in the race, spending unnecessary time in the air means spending time where you canā€™t apply force to the track. #sprintian #speeddevelopment #runningmechanics #acceleration #speedtraining by @sprinterharris

If you designed a superhero, you wouldnā€™t make them look frantic when they ran. Theyā€™d look smooth. Powerful. In control. Like moving fast was the easiest thing they did all day. Thatā€™s the version of yourself I want you to find when you sprint. You still have to produce force. You still have to attack the ground. But none of that requires unnecessary tension or chaos. Be your own superhero. #sprintian #runningmechanics #speeddevelopment #speedtraining #sprinttraining by @sprinterharris

Friday night. Weā€™re working on the part of speed that happens before you ever get upright. Projection. Push. Direction of force. Building acceleration mechanics that actually carry you down the track or field. Speed Fridays // Acceleration + Mechanics āš”ļø 6:15 PM ā€¢ Guelph All athletes welcome. by @sprinterharris

That rep took more out of her and thatā€™s okayā€¦ She was asking her body to hold positions at speed that still require conscious effort. Right now she has to think about it. She has to fight a little harder to organize it. But thatā€™s what repetition is for. Do it again. Then again. Then again. Eventually, what felt demanding starts feeling smooth. What required thought starts becoming automatic. Donā€™t chase a different rep. Replicate the good one until it becomes natural. #sprintian #speeddevelopment #runningmechanics #speedtraining #sprinttraining by @sprinterharris

If your first move is vertical while the athlete beside you is projecting down the track, youā€™ve already given away time. Thatā€™s why we rehearse this before the blocks ever come out. Learn to direct the push forward & let the body rise as the acceleration develops, donā€™t rush yourself upright just so you can start running. #sprintian #speeddevelopment #acceleration #runningmechanics #speedtraining by @sprinterharris

Most days Iā€™m here twice. Once chasing my own shit. Once helping otherā€™s chase theirs. I wouldnā€™t trade it. by @sprinterharris

Sometimes Iā€™d rather have an athlete miss a rep and actually understand what theyā€™re looking for. I pulled him out of the line and had him watch. Watch how the shin falls forward. Watch how they push out. Watch the shape of the torso. Watch what stays connected as they leave the ground. And sometimes watching another athlete who looks like you, moves like you, and is only a little further along makes the picture easier to understand than watching a coach demonstrate it perfectly. Coaching isnā€™t always adding another rep. Sometimes itā€™s knowing when to stop one. #sprintian #speeddevelopment #speedtraining #sprinttraining #acceleration by @sprinterharris

Iā€™m not trying to find my old speed. I know what that version of me could do. This process is about taking everything Iā€™ve learned since then as an athlete, as a coach, and as a student of sprinting and building something better. Acceleration. Max velocity. Details. Reps. Not going backwards to find myself. Going forward to find out how fast I can actually become. The documentary is fully in motion.

Some days Iā€™m the athlete. Some days Iā€™m the coach. Most days Iā€™m somewhere between the two. by @sprinterharris

Rudiments arenā€™t just about being quick off the ground. Especially when youā€™re introducing them to someone at the beginning of their training, you have to build their ability to handle the contacts first. If every contact is spent high on the forefoot, you can end up concentrating more of the demand through the calf and achilles instead of allowing the foot and ankle to manage the contact more naturally. For these rudiments, I want the athlete to make contact through the front of the foot and allow the heel to lower naturally rather than fighting to stay on their toes the entire time. As their capacity improves, we can progress the stiffness, rhythm and intensity of the contacts. Donā€™t chase reactivity before youā€™ve built the ability to absorb force. #sprintian #sprintdrills #speeddevelopment #speedtraining #sprinttraining by @sprinterharris

The first two steps donā€™t look like much, but they help set the direction of the entire acceleration. Thatā€™s why we isolate them. From a kneeling start, the goal isnā€™t to see who can cover the most ground or move the fastest. Weā€™re rehearsing the positions and actions we want when acceleration becomes faster: project, push, strike, repeat. Two steps. Reset. Do it again. The better you become at producing force in the right direction and carrying that projection forward, the better opportunity you give yourself to build velocity through the rest of the acceleration. And that matters because top speed doesnā€™t happen in isolation. You have to build into it. How efficiently you accelerate helps determine how you arrive at max velocity. Sometimes becoming a better sprinter means taking something that happens in a fraction of a second and rehearsing it over and over until it becomes second nature. #sprintian #sprintdrills #acceleration #speeddevelopment #speedtraining by @sprinterharris
