hey everyone thanks for tuning into the performance lab don't forget to subscribe
below to the right for updates to new videos and a huge announcement coming up enjoy alright what's
up everyone morey croson here from the performance lab of California and we have another breakdown
for you today and it is on the Doha Championships this past week doing a little bit of a comparison
between Noah Wiles here who is five foot eleven and Andre de Grasse who was here and he is five
foot nine and I know de Grasse right now has gotten the short end mistakes on a couple of
these uh breakdowns here just you know and end up coming in second again and is also very very
well known and it doesn't have anything to do with you know him not doing well in the run just
you know it's a good good way to see what's the difference between coming and first and
coming in second so I have a lot of numbers here I could see you know already going or that we've
already looked at so I'm essentially what these steps are is this is de Grasse here on this side
and then this is Lyles here on this side and so running the curb what happened and what's
interesting here is you know if we look at the the actual setup we could see that Lyles here
is in lane four and our sorry lane five and the grass is in lane seven right so there's
a definitely different difference in the stag Mississippi of their start and so what happens
is that when they get around the curb and they get to this point here to go right here this is Noah
Lyles fiftieth step okay so that's this number right here and then this is de Grasse is 51st
step so even though de Grasse started in front he is still at a point where he's taking more steps
at you know this this part of the actual race and so you know one of the things that obviously that
tells us that no allows is really really good at running the curve and being able to I may
tain his top-end speed as he's bringing the curve and this is really where he makes the big catch on
on these guys and really separates from the people that are in lane four is when when he's turning
here he does a great job of maintaining a solid lead and and being able to continue to open up
so what happens is that if you limit your ability to maximize each step as you're sprinting now the
distance D Joyner says when you're cleared again these curves that's where a lot of people end up
losing their distance so you can see how well he catches people right here in this curve and
it really has a lot to do with how much distance he's taking up for each one of his steps now you
got to be able to maintain your overall posture so you could see you know how like here in lane
four how there's a big lean over the side as he starts really turning around on this curb we're
here you got to really maintain your overall hip height the basic can you even see here where the
the hips are a little bit more face down where no allows does a good job of maintaining a fairly
even hip height position there's a little bit slanted but overall he's not too bad and he's
also really working on overall arm Drive I think in the 200 you really I mean really all right you
got to be able to maximize your arms but like here in the middle you can see there's really
inefficient at the end that arm dress you know you oaky early extend that elbow there as he's going
back which is you know negatively impacting his ability to maximize the run so as we don't hear
more what ends up being the next step here is Noah's Lyles finish is that eighty seven eighty
seven point five steps where de Grasse is at 90 steps and you know I just want to get that
information so now we could actually see it and so if you see what happens is he does a great
job of really being able to open up so he closes the gap within the curve and then now once he's
closed the gap now he's really allowing himself to get to his true natural running form and being
able to get his knee out extent and and pull his leg underneath him you can see how relaxed
he is too in the upper body that's why I said the upper body is so important here where you can see
here you know there's a lot of overall extra motion that's going on within the upper body
where Noah's laws is being very very efficient and just allowing you his legs to continue to maximize
turnover and because of that he's just able to continue to reach I mean look at how nice of a
stride he's getting here and then driving that knee through so he's still sprinting but the big
difference between even like the hundred meter to the 200 meter or the 60 to the hundred is and as
you continue to go down the lane it's time spent off the ground so the longer the run is the more
time you end up having to spend off the ground in order to really be great at the actual event and
so I know laws of reason he's so good at the 200 is because he naturally has that nice long stride
but is still able to maintain turnover to a degree that makes so he's a very efficient during the the
200 so you can end up you know for instance like a Usain Bolt because of how fast his legs move
and how much overall distance he picks up per step you know his body's really made for that
that 100 meter where if we were gonna go to make it to the 400 meter the amount of turnover that he
gets would end up actually negatively impacting him are you saying bull as he goes you know you
know allows would be able to convert better because of how well he maximizes his the the
time spent off of the ground right because you know what's amazing about you saying bull does
he really doesn't spend you know too much time and really off the ground or on the ground just
so so quick so fast twitch or when you get into those 400 meter inter meters the longer the race
goes and then to being a little bit more about how much time you spent on the ground with your
feets of them you could really maximize each one your steps and so you know not to obviously say
that you simple wouldn't be great at the 4 meter but you know there are certain things that that
you're sprinting forms that you have to do better and certain events of yours printing phone such
a better to do so being able to understand that I think will make sure you are competing in the
right race for your body type and then hopefully by watching this breakdown you can get a more
of a clear understanding of what are some of the differences that would set you up to having more
success you know being 511 and wearing this whole thing in eighty seven and a half steps you know if
I was a sprinter anywhere within here you know five ten to even six one you know count to see
how many steps it takes you to and you know I'd necessarily be going full-speed you know just
see naturally where you're at he said you know are you close to eighty seven and a half steps because
if you up to 95 steps you know that now you know that you really got and allow yourself to get a
little bit more time on the ground and be able to allow your your stride to extend out a little bit
more and then from there you can start working on the efficiency but Europe you're already you
know not at the right amount of steps taken then you really put yourself at a disadvantage being
able to perform well and some of these very very important events so the first part of it is really
getting your steps down to make sure you're here taking up the amount of space per step and the
amount of space you want to be picking up first step so if once you get behind in that step count
you know each on average I'd say each one of your your steps ends up costing me about 0.2 seconds in
your run so you know the faster you get down the better overall you'll be able to to maximize your
your ability to perform as an athlete alright so as always guys let me know if you have any
questions about the video I know there's a lot of in-depth information here also go ahead and
click the link below we have some some cool things that we're offering to all of our members that are
interested in being able to sprint faster so I'm gonna have a little link below for a speed program
that you can take advantage of or you could do a break down whatever ends up you know working
great best for you click the link below and we'll go ahead and get started the breakdown just like
this is just a few running been able to provide a lot a lot of clarity for people so you're
interesting that click the link and we'll go and get started today thanks and I'll talk to you soon
