Her but is sticking out and she is bending at her waist. So how much is that really helping her? Would she be just as fast or faster without sled training?

But that advice should extend to any training program. In track all anyone once to know is what do they do, but never want to know the how and the why. How many times, have we heard that today workouts is for strength or whatever and the next line is how much running is to be done and how much recovery. Then at race time you wonder why things did not go well and everybody is surprised. The biggest problem is the lack of technical instructions.
