Stop breaking your own momentum!

Stop breaking your own momentum! 🛑👇 You can have the best work ethic in the world, but if you’re making these 3 technical errors, you are literally putting the brakes on your own top-end speed. Here is exactly what’s holding your times back and how to fix it: ❌ 1. Overstriding (The Brake Pedal): Reaching your foot out forward to get a “longer” stride actually forces you to land on your heel, creating a massive braking force. ✔️ The Fix: Think about striking the ground directly under your hips with a stiff, active ankle. ❌ 2. Tensing Up (The Speed Killer): Clenched fists, tight shoulders, and a locked jaw create friction in your nervous system. Forcing the speed actually makes you slower. ✔️ The Fix: Relax your face (think floppy cheeks), drop your shoulders, and let the velocity flow. ❌ 3. Lateral Arm Swing (Wasted Energy): When your arms cross the midline of your body, your torso rotates, forcing your hips out of alignment and wasting horizontal power. ✔️ The Fix: Keep the movement linear. Drive from “hip to lip” and let your arms guide your power straight down the track. Track season is here. Stop making it harder than it needs to be. 🔥 💬 Which one of these are you guilty of?
