@SageCanaday @McKirdyTrained Gonna tell my 25mph sprinters that the 20mph tail wind is actually slowing them down

[Brian Doyle @RunBrianDoyle]

@stevemagness @GuruAnaerobic I agree with this too, but then how does that affect training?

@stevemagness The replies to that thread are insane

[Brian Doyle @RunBrianDoyle]

@UrbanSteepler @CoachDistance Gotcha. This is what we do as well, but with more easy running on the front end. Some guys are at about 3 - 3.5mi total before the race starts. Put another way — they aren’t ready for threshold pace after 7 mins easy. Just like they wouldn’t be in a workout. Some are, of course

@SageOfEchoes @stevemagness We do!

Discouraging but predictable enough to see Tucker Carlson giving a Hitler apologist like Darly Cooper (MartyrMade) a platform, but encouraging to see the wider world learning who he is and immediately recognizing that he's a moron

@StuartMcMillan1 @ALTIS Following this, do you ever change technique between indoor / outdoor, since the goal indoor is to only get to 60m? Thanks!

[Brian Doyle @RunBrianDoyle]

@StuartMcMillan1 @ALTIS Hey coach, good thoughts as usual. Question on how to best figure out which mode might work for a particular athlet. Do you find generally that “twitchier” = shuffle? We’re not often doing full 100m in practice, so accels to 20-30m may really just be deceptive.

@UMLTRACKCOACH Finally something I’m better at than she is

[Brian Doyle @RunBrianDoyle]

@JasonFitz1 … have you ever coached sprinters?

[Brian Doyle @RunBrianDoyle]

@stevemagness Disagree on quick hands/feet for some athletes, especially toward later stages of a race has fatigue has set in and the athlete get too long/slow in their stride

[Brian Doyle @RunBrianDoyle]

@Sam_Vecenie This is exactly right. Wild how no one else I’ve seen has pointed this out
