🟩 Don't Leave Everything On The Track | How To Relax While Sprinting
I saw an Instagram post the other day. It showed a pic of a female athlete in the foetal position obviously at the end of a tough race (could've been 400m, 800m or 1500m) where lactic acid had got hold of her. The post was basically saying this is how you should feel at the end of a race. But should you feel like this at the end of the 400m? The thought is that you should leave everything on the track and be completely spent. I disagree and I question this logic. All I can say is that a 400m athlete should not feel like this at the end of a 400m race, or even a 400m hurdles. My fastest races were the easiest races. And if they do then they started the race incorrectly. Why? My experiences show me that my fastest races were always my easiest - fact. My slowest were just painful. And chances are if you feel so spent at the end of the race that you can't stand up then you were too tight, too anxious and put too much effort in the first part of the race. And this is because you were too anxious before you even got in the blocks. Tightness and anxiety will ruin endurance and speed because it wastes energy and switches of muscles. If you start to breathe correctly before the race and bring yourself into the present moment, you've set yourself up for a great race and maybe a race close to perfection because you given yourself the foundation of relaxation. When you have the foundation of relaxation, you can start off a race quickly and briskly (which you should always do) but also conserve energy for the second bend and the home straight. When you finish the race, you'll be shocked how easy it was and you'll definitely not be collapsed on the ground exhausted.
Now I think this is valid for other events, even for endurance athletes and this video will go into this a little more deeply plus give you in depth reasons why the "train hard" philosophy is killing your speed, strength and endurance. I also talk about an interesting fact about David Rudisha's training leading into the 2012 olympics.
