4X400m 8X200m

68,65,62,74

35,34,35,34,33,32,30,30

the first hundred meters was very slow for all of these about 18-20 seconds for both the 400s and 200s

I have such bad starts that for the first 100 or so I am about 15 meters back, running with the girls who are doing workouts, then I catch up.

approx splits

for the 68 i split 52-14 the 65 I split 36-29 for the 62 I split 19-43

the first hundred is the hardest part. should i focus on turnover? My stride length is good but I might overstride (I heel strike)

acceleration advice?

Whether your lying or not.

Do this

4-8x 100yd strides

0-20yds, easy jog

20yds-80yds, sprint (controlled so about 98%)

20yds-100yds, easy jog

works well with explosiveness and gets yoru legs popping from a slow to motionless start.

bitch.

If you are running anything over 800M, why do you care about your first 100?

I can't do a running start as we all line up adn my coach says go

the split times I listed are all approximations, but I was always about 2-4 seconds back at the hundred then worked myself back from there. I can catch up to them pretty good, I ussualy gain about 15-20 meters in the last 100 or so

re: ughhh

make your first few steps really close together but as quickly and as powerfully as you can. After about 15 or 20 meters gradually open your stride back up to normal. you can't be explosive with a long first stride. These first few steps should be more high knee motion & leaning forward than a normal stride.

quick hands = quick feet = acceleration

Try running faster...if this is true it is not because you can't do it is because you are not doing it.
