Michael Khmel: 200 & 400 Meter Long Sprints Drills (DVD) Posted: 29 Apr 2010 09:00 AM PDT Michael Khmel: The Best of British Track & Field 200M & 400M Long Sprints Drills (DVD) If you are not familiar with name Michael Khmel, check out his podcast and his other product review here. Michael Khmel is the Senior Performance Coach for Sprints and Relays for the UK. This DVD covers three aspects of running the 200 and 400 meters in relation to drills: (1) Basic running drills (2) Arm mechanics (3) How to run the curve. According to Kheml, these are the three errors for long sprinters that can be easily corrected using drills. In the running drills section, he covers the basic back kick drills to focus on low leg recovery form. In addition, Coach Khmel shares his insight on maintaining a tall posture for ideal running form. Higher hips means less ground contact time. For arm mechanics, he discusses the proper arm movement with a stationary arm motion that focuses on keeping the shoulders stable while maintaining proper motion. Rotation, whether it's over or under, must be carefully controlled. Ideal arm angles during the running motion is also discussed. For curve running, Khmel presents a drill sequence that teaches techniques and strategies for proper form on the bend in order to allow the maximum speed coming out of the curve. This is usually the case for 200 meters when most coaches use the term "slingshot". For the 400m, deceleration has already begun prior to the final home straight so maintaining form and optimizing stride length and stride frequency is the key, all while staying relaxed. Of course, indoor oval events has twice as many curves! This video was produced in 2009 and is 38 minutes long.

Why Am I Fat? Here is the Simple Answer Posted: 28 Apr 2010 09:00 AM PDT In the last 40 years, obesity, and in particular child obesity has increased at an alarming rate in the United States. The USDA Economic Research Service (ERS), which tracked the percent of total daily calories of the range of food groups from 1970-2008, has given us the clues. You can download their Excel spreadsheet here. If you just look at the differences in Caloric Consumption and the percentages in the daily diet, you will come up with these numbers. I compared the first and last year (1970 and 2008) but you can use the first 5 average and last 5 average and get very close to the same conclusions.
So, Why am I fat?This leads me to a single conclusion:
I am sure the physical activity has not increased 25% due to the increase in caloric intake! And you have to wonder if the fruit and vegetables are as good as they were 40 years ago due to mineral depletion in the soil. Really, how good are greenhouse produce? They sure look nice, in their colour and bug-free bruises. Plus wax. But how do they taste? So that means you are eating more (bad) carbs and (bad) fat and getting less vitamins and minerals! How many of you are supplementing with Omega 3 fatty acids? We all eat too much of Omega 6. I get my fair share of olive oil here in Italy (see my previous article on fats) You can thank the fast food industry and the packaged food industry and all their portable food! Take a lesson from Alicia Weber… just get off the couch and move! Dance, run , walk, sing, swim, push-ups, pull ups, dips, yoga, Pilates, Frisbee, disc golf, whatever it takes. Or, preferably, join your local Track and Field Team. (If you are interested, click on the graphs below to see the dataset from the Excel spreadsheet quoted above) |
