hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today
we're going to be breaking down noah lyles 1931 or start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance reach your individual goals you don't want to
just talk about straight lines we also want to talk about your ability quick we break down
your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
all right so this was a huge accomplishment yesterday we got noah lyles running the 1931
in the 200 meter final we're actually live during this actual run i will also be going live tonight
for the 400 for the men and women so if you want to go ahead and check that out all you
need to do is like the video subscribe the channel turn on those notifications so you can know when
we're going to be going live but we got no allows here we'll go ahead and hop right into the video
he is in lane six it it seems to me based off of this
performance that lane six is really his go-to lane excellent job getting out you could see
how quickly he was able to catch up to fond boule how fast his turnover speed is here
bongole really's got to work on his start really's got to work on his turnover he has a hard time
and being able to get his feet out in front as well as be able to get his feet to be able to land
with more of his weight on like the front third of his foot and that ends up being a big problem
for him if he wants to really compete at the highest level he's got to be able to fix his start
that's just something that he can't do over and over again and it's something that we're seeing
time and time again where he he goes he does a great job against more like the amateur runners
on the collegiate level things like that which is great but when it comes to being able to compete
at the highest level he's gonna have to fix some of these mechanical things in order to
really give himself a chance the big rivalry here was between noah lyles and ariane knighton
uh and the big thing that ended up happening with you know aaron knight and it's tough when you're
in that that third lane because that ends up just being a lot sharper of a turn so for noah lyles he
was able to maintain more of that top speed we saw in the u.s championship that uh noah lyles
ended up i mean little eyes was a little bit more outside of him even on that one as well
but he wasn't as clean in the curve this time no louse was able to maintain a great position into
or through the curve and and once we everybody saw this right here right where he was out in
front of the field i mean everyone kind of knew that there was no way that he was going to end up
losing just because i mean no one we haven't seen anybody catch no allowance from behind at least in
the last few years in the 200 meter right the only thing he's been able to do is catch other guys
maybe if fred curley was in this it would give a little bit more of a potential for you know him
to be able to come back but based off the field here uh kenny bigner ariane knighton even fondulae
haven't shown to be able to catch him from behind you can see family did go and catch up to
really everybody right he almost was able to squeak out third place right there at the end
and started off you know when he came around that curve he was in what like six maybe seventh place
here and was able to catch everybody and pass everybody so it's not an issue of bon boulet
having not enough top speed he really has great top speed he just needs to be able to figure out
how to get that start going but but yeah i mean looking into noah lyles i mean just a great job
of being able to and one of the things that i talk a lot about when it comes to being able to land is
wanting to keep that heel facing more straight back but it's shown that when you're doing that
curve we want to be landing with that foot more right underneath the the hip right so we can see
this position like this isn't a great position to be in when it comes to running in a straight
but that's what makes the 200 meter such an interesting thing is you have to be able to
have a little bit more adaptability there right being able to land a little bit more on the
outside part of the foot have that heel facing more inwards but still be able to generate a
lot of speed there and then once it gets going it gets in that top speed i mean again this is where
noah lyles is really able to excel again we see him landing really on that front third of the
foot okay so a common thing that people talk about is you got to be dorsiflexed right we see a lot of
people that teach like you got to be dorsiflexed with the foot yeah you can see in these positions
he is dorsiflex but notice right before that foot hits the ground he goes and really strikes
the ground hard to make it so then he gets power into that next step and that's what what really
separates the top sprinters is can how far forward can you land okay and then how well
can you stabilize that and transition right back off and and the better you can do that
the better you are as a sprinter overall so that's something that is huge right also
being able to get that leg to land as straight as possible okay so see how straight he is right here
and he's pulling that leg back underneath trying to lay land as straight as possible to maintain
that strength or that that straightness right so see how when you lance limited amount of bending
you want to be able to absorb very tall that makes it so then you can pick up adequate amount
of distance per step and a lot of that has to do with core strength a lot of that has to do with
how you're syncing up with the arms okay because if your arms are off then that makes it very very
difficult to properly strike the ground to be able to really maximize force there now we can see this
i love being able to see the you know not no allows running from the side because he's so
unique in being able to get a ton of flexibility in his knee and it even looks like to me he's a
little bit from an anatomical perspective he has long bones within both his femur and really to me
is his tibia his tibia seems really really long uh compared to like the average person right so from
his knee down to his ankle like that bone looks really really long so very easily he's able to get
that heel to come right up to like his butt height right and like for me i'd like if i
got in this position my heel would be closer to like right here okay and everybody's gonna be
a little bit different right we can see uh that area knight also has a pretty long tibia overall
and this helps in being able to really reach out with those legs now it also could end up being a
detriment right so it also can make it so it's a little bit more difficult to be able to stabilize
a little bit more difficult to be able to control but if you are able to control if you are able to
understand how to get the foot out in front and land with that leg straight it could be a great
thing to help you in being able to pick up more distance per step right because here it's very
easy for him to be able to get vertical forces because of that lower part of the leg okay because
now you're going to be able to pit you're going to when you're pushing off it's easy to go here
now you just have to be able to work on driving that leg through as fast as you can so if you can
get the timing of coming forward with that leg and you already have a long tibia that really
makes a big difference of being able to run faster so just some interesting things to be able to take
note of either way we're seeing foot landing up underneath the hip we're seeing an upright
body within the spine we're seeing somebody that has strong arms strong back strong lats strong
everything in upper body is strong right but he has great timing with when he gets to this
position coming right back through i see all the time people that are looking to get faster they're
getting stuck in either bringing their arm all the way forward bringing their arm all the way back
you have to be very very coordinated is once you get to that end range being able to go right back
into the next action right so whether you're trying to bring your right arm back left leg
or left arm forward right when you can't be stuck here we have to be able to be very fast and being
able to come right through because that's going to coordinate right we can see that right arm here
is coordinating with that left leg to be able to come through if those if the timing is off
that makes it so you're not going to be able to run as fast so make sure that you're working on
that timing we're looking at this in a very very slow motion way and so it allows us to
be able to catch any small differences any small problems and again this is something i see is a
big issue a lot of times no allows doing it perfect but i see a lot of times people are
off with their coordination of their arms and with their legs and when you're trying to run faster it
makes a big difference in how you're striking the ground the amount of force you're able to strike
the ground with and then what is the amount of distance per step that you're going to be able to
uh get to so when you do all that when you make all that coordinated it makes a big difference
to how you're running so again if you like the information go ahead and click that thumbs up down
below subscribe to the channel this is the first time you're watching one of my videos i'm always
doing breakdowns on the top sprinters in the world some of the top races in the world to help you
guys understand what are they doing to be able to run at such high speeds i mean 21 or sorry 1935 or
1931 sorry sorry sorry yeah 1931 i'm getting uh sharika jackson and noah allows messed up
a little bit there so because shrika jackson won 2145 so uh no allows 1931 american record right
one of the best runs ever third fastest all time in the uh 200 meter made a huge statement as being
the best in the world currently at the 200 meter undoubtedly there's only a 0.4 win on this so
a big big statement and i i think it's only going to go up from here you know he's just really one
of the cleanest runners that we see i i want to say that he's going to probably want to go back
and compete at 100 meter he looks as good as he's ever looked and i i mean i i can't wait
to be able to see him continue to to excel and do some big things so again guys thanks for watching
