Clyde Hart at the European Athletics Coaching Conference

Every time you hear Clyde Hart speak at a conference, he provides incredible insight as well as humour to coaching 400 meters sprinters. Sometimes you leave the room with more questions than answers.

Plan-Do-Check-Act and the PDCA Deming Cycle

Today is Walter Deming’s birthday.

Who the heck is Walter Deming?

William Edwards Deming was born on October 14, 1900. He is most famous for Deming PDAC Cycle, otherwise known as the Shewhart cycle, or the Deming Wheel’s “Plan-Do-Check-Act” (modified to “Plan-Do-Study-Act”). Deming is widely credited with improving production in the United States in the […]

Relaxation - The Key to Victory and Success

NEWSFLASH: Running and Swimming Relaxed is the Key to Victory.

This old news. Everyone knows this.

But when this concept makes the New York Times, and references Clyde Hart, the Director of Track & Field and 4×400m coach at Baylor University, I thought it deserved some feedback.

It doesn’t matter if you are a surgeon, public speaker […]

Video of LaShawn Merritt Beijing Olympic 400 meter 43.75

In stunning fashion, LaShawn Merritt upset Jeremy Wariner to win the Olympic Gold medal in 43.75.
LaShawn Merritt appeared to be left in the blocks with a 0.318 reaction time. But in a 400 meters, the reaction time is not as critical as your first 40-60 meters which sets you up for the entire race. […]

400 Meter Training: 2 x 300m or 2×40 second Workout

When Jeremy Wariner or Micheal Johnson does a 2 x 350 meter workout, those times are well under 40 seconds. That doesn’t mean YOU should do a 2 x 350 meter workout.
The purpose of this workout if for “speed endurance”, or to be exact, special endurance.

Lost in the action on Thursday’s USA 400 meter Olympic Trials final with LaShawn Merritt and Jeremy Wariner was David Neville’s Lane 8 “running scared and hanging on” 3rd place finish.

David Neville didn’t take the “victory lap” traditionally taken by the […]

Alltel Wireless Sponsors Tyson Gay

Paul Klein of ABC once said “TV is the business of selling audiences to advertisers”.

How true.

Rewind to the 2000 Sydney Olympics where all the finals were tape delayed “live” on TV, at least in North America.

Immediately “live on tape” after Michael Johnson’s 400-meter final, where he won his second consecutive 400 meter Gold medal, we […]

Clyde Hart Jeremy Wariner Split Was NOT About Money

UPDATE: download Clyde Hart’s 60 page Training Manual from the 2007 USATF NPEP Conference.

“Michael assured me he didn’t advise him,” Hart […]
