@Raestaketv Knowing this do you think spikes like SP3s, Maxflys, and those super distance shoes should be used at all? Only in competition? Or sum other way?
@Raestaketv 👏 it’s mando to tune into the szn opener. It better be before, after or in between those NFL playoffs tho 😂 it’s only January in the track world after all
@Raestaketv Since HS I’ve gone from the traditional 2 foot, 3 foot to like 2 & 1/2 or 3/4 and 3 1/2. I’m a shorter guy but I couldn’t imagine what it feels like to be like 6ft + and trying to get in blocks doing the trad 2 foot, 3foot. Superrr cramped or tight
@venturetwins I deadass had one of my professors ask me if I used AI cause I used a big word I found using google to find synonyms for more common words so I could get closer to the character minimum for the essay 🤦♂️
@Raestaketv this might be sum ppl gotta pay for, but since you’ve been on a education spree on here I was wondering how you balance warming up if an athlete has multiple events/rounds in one day IE:4x100,100,200,4x4
Does it change if it’s a 2 day event? (Prelim into final)
@Raestaketv Matthew,Mark,Luke and Rae 🤣. It’s one of em days you’re spreading that Track Gospel from the book of Rae. Keep it coming, need to keep filing out my notes, been missing it since you stopped them SmartTakes streams.
@Raestaketv Assuming this is true, T&F has been complaining about exposure and money. And they finally got a small step in the right direction and now all they can do is go and complain. 🤦♂️ the sport is so fucked
@Raestaketv What was it then? I feel it’s a great idea cause a 13 day long track me is hella fucking stupid matter o fact a 2 day track meet is pretty dumb as well
@Raestaketv I ain’t saying it takes an hour to warm-up I agree any longer then 30 minutes is wrong. I’m saying in the context of 3/4 rounds in one day if athletes are doing it properly, everyone saying ppl are gonna be slower where as I think if you training right it’ll be the opposite
@Raestaketv Everybody knows it takes time to warm up. If I got 4 reps of whatever workout in one day, rep 3/4 are probably gonna be the best. And if I got 6 reps then 3/4 are still gon be the best, you just gotta work a lil harder for 5/6. Still gon hit that target time tho 💯
If you ever speak to a sports psych, they’ll tell you this is what causes competition anxiety. You put pressure on yourself when you think like that, which is why most people run faster in practice than at a meet. After I talked to a sports psych, I stopped wearing the Nike race-day kit on meet days. I started showing up dressed like I was going to practice. Most of the time, I wore Jordan shorts and a T-shirt. When I did that, I started running faster and feeling more relaxed. I literally made the U.S. team chewing bubble gum.
Treat it like it’s a practice and you can’t put any pressure on you or it.
@Raestaketv Is anything ever popping rn in T&F? Wish we had cool things happen in the offszn like other sports, everybody wanna move in silence for some reason. Regardless my boys & I are cooking up sum big over here rn, gon come to outdoors slidin 🛝
