hey what's up everyone more croson here from the performance lab and we have another new breakdown
for you today it's gonna be on Noah Lyles really going in depth about the start phase and really
being able to maximize your start phase and how that will have a significant impact on your
top-end speed so we'll go ahead and get right into the breakdown here so one on the left is
from obviously 2019 and it's window allows race Michael Norman Michael Norman's right
here no allowances right there and you know it's actually beat by Michael Norman and then this is
no allows and his follow up race is being able to almost get the set the record straight with
his running and I think what ended up happened here on the left is you know no allows is just
one of the most dominant 200 runners in the world and I almost feel like he started to take it for
granted a little bit and ended up getting a little bit humbled by the up-and-coming
Michael Norman and then no allowance responded in a huge way here on the right and what stands
out to me is just like you know the whole idea of this actual video is the start so we can see
here on the left where you know when when Noah Wyle starts off he has a good first step I think
he does an excellent job their second step he doesn't get as good he starts to pop up pretty
early here and then as he is going I think that again third step for step he's really getting
he's getting a good amount of extension but the turnover is just not very fast and he ends up
standing up a good amount we're on this one he stays a lot more low when he's coming out first
step second step third seven and he's able to just go through from that that kind of star face into
his transition face way more smooth on the right side so as he's coming up and through you don't
see any real hitches and his actual movement he looks like he's going very very smoothly through
that bad start but if we look back on the left here right about through here he starts to get
a little bit of a hitch where he's not getting as much of a smooth transition phase so now this
is where Michael Norman really starts catching up catching up to him is right in that little
bit right there right so we can see he has a good distance here and then right through here
because he doesn't really get into that that transition phase very smoothly Michael Norman
really stays down and drives it and is able to catch a good amount of distance right through that
part of the actual run where you could see here on the right by the I'm sorry no allows really
ends up getting separation through this part of his run and really is able to push off and get a
good amount of overall distance between you know the other runners in the race but by the time he
gets around here on the right he's actually in you know to maybe say first place you know under
the grass might be up with him here as he as they come around the curb but he just does a great job
on the right side of being able to start really well and because of that as he gets around the
curb he positioned himself to really getting to his top-end speed very very effectively I'm where
we could see here on the left you know Michael Norman's right up close to him here and you know
as they get around the curve Michael Norman has a good sizable lead on their right and now what
we know allows essentially has to do is really try to catch up to him and he does the ends of getting
up into his top speed and ends up catching up to Michael Norman but it just is too little too late
right and so with what no allows really leans on is his ability to get into that top and speed and
here you know because of the Stark he's almost able to get into his top and speed even more
smoothly here and just what stands out to me and really the reason to do the breakdown is yeah a
start but also really focusing on the greatness of Noah Lyles and his ability to really maximize
his top-end speed and you know he just does a great job of it almost looks like he's floating
as he's running so as he's coming in transitioning through he does a great job as saying he's super
upright and his you know when he's at that that top-end speed right so you can really
do it does a great job of being very very light on his feet right so as he transitions through
he comes through and touches the ground and he touches his gun slightly in front of him but
then he's able to push off very very quickly and from there gets a nice vertical push and I mean
I would say that he almost creates so much force how did that back later his foot might even get to
high up behind him but then from there he does a great job of being able to cycle that back leg
back through and then land with that foot right back underneath him very very effectively let's
go ahead and get into some of his numbers here so you know let's go left side push us off at let's
say just eight one three eight one and then comes back and touches for two one and then look at the
right side off at three five seven so I just like looking at that transition time down at nine four
so that's about a point three seven and about a point four on his overall transition time which
art you know those good numbers for running the two hundred right so for all the different runs
I know we've done stuff on the one hundred you done stuff on the two hundred so we're looking
at not until allows five eleven and it has a point for transition time on the left side and
point three seven on the right side so it just means he's picking up a lot of overall distance
on each one of his steps if he's 511 being able to get a point for transition time that just
means that he spent a little ridiculous my time off the ground for the little amount of let's go
ahead and look at his contact time real quick so he touches the ground left side seven one off by
eight eight one so he has a point one contact time I'm 404 yeah so both legs he has a point
one contact time but has he very very long time so should I so again that means that he's just
able to pick up a lot of overall distance you know right when he got out of that curve he might have
had a little bit faster transition time you know what we see one hundred is like Tyson Gay or you
know even like a Christian Coleman like those guys would be closer to 0.3 on their transition
time so they just have a very very fast turnover no allowances not as much of a fast for an overall
years turning over very fast he's just picking up a lot of distance because of how vertical is
on in his running so definitely interesting to be able to check that out and see that and also
gives us a clearer understanding of why no Laos has such a great overall sprinting mechanics and
why he's so great in his top-end speed it's just because he's able to pick up a lot of ground for
somebody that's only 511 all right you guys can go ahead and click the links below we have some
