This video shows the basics of how to transition from the start to top speed, accelerating as fasta as possible. The key is not to come up too quickly from the start and to transition slowly. This involves picking:


Up the heels from a low position in the start to a much higher heel-recovery at top speed


The foot now landing just in front of our hips instead of behind the hips (during the start)


Knees are lifted higher to allow greater force.


Comment any questions you have below, and we’ll answer them! It’s a confusing topic, so don’t be afraid to ask!
