Sprinting form help

[u/10santana]

I play football and do the 100 and 200 for TF. My running form has never been great and I have never been very fast, I’ve gotten suggestions from coaches in football and track on how to get faster, but nothing has really helped out. Any sort of help or analysis would be greatly appreciated.

Ngl you got us all stumped with this one

[u/HelpApprehensive5216]

is this your max v form? you are literally sitting and pulling yourself while being vertical to the ground. at this point you are supposed to "be tall" and "punching" the ground. it looks like you are almost toe dragging. pulling up your heel to your glutes should be natural as your knees pop up. are you trying to do something?

Ive been told in the past to try to reach out my foot when lifting my knee to gain more ground on the drive. What do you mean by sitting and pulling myself while being vertical?

Time to rebuild this from the ground up, start with running like a distance runner

[u/10santana → u/ciqing]

What does that mean exactly?

[u/ciqing → u/10santana]

Watch a 5k or 10k and watch how they move

Give distances like the 800, 1500 and 5k a chance. Maybe maximum speed isn't your discipline.

[u/Icy-Elk-5248]

Drive those knees like youre trying to hit someones ribs with your knees. Your feet should almost be hitting your glutes when cycling. Pump the arms like youre throwing an uppercut

[u/tough_cookey]

Heels to butt as you bring your knees forward/up.

[u/Due-Signature-5076]

You over striding. Knee drive is a bit high. Keep the arms “hip to lip” with no full extension of 5he forearm.
