Two questions, one is if it is about force application why doesn’t he move forward faster when the foot contacts the ground?
Second question is if you flex at the hip when doing the drill how is that a core issue? I would think it would be a glute issues. I could see it being a core issues if he spine was flexing and bowing. But if that was the case his core is working fine as that is what it does.
Adarian, why would th athlete flexing at the hip during the drill be a “glute” issue as opposed to a “core” issue?
I think I can answer the second question – it’s an action/reaction thing. Flexing at the hip and then extending forcefully down and back propels the hips up and forward. Because it’s done leg-to-leg alternating, massive rotational forces are involved, and maintaining the center line is the province of the core musculature. Yes?
Hey Jimson,
I have been struggling with some thoughts for the past couple of weeks (and I wrote a blog post to help myself work through it), but watching the video makes me scratch my head and question what I know.
In the video, she is making the point (in the fast leg drill) of getting your foot back down as quickly as possible. That seems reasonable; I am hoping that this is so you give yourself a longer opportunity to have ground contact and thereby generate greater force – that compared to trying to simply increase stride rate. Is that the case?

Great video, Jimson. I will definitely keep this drill in mind when I rework the warmup drills I have my sprinters doing.
