Success in Track and Field... and Life

A lot of people have emailed me where I disappeared the last 3 months?

In short, I ruptured my Achilles tendon during a training workout the day before the Olympics started! Not the best news, but it did give me an excuse to watch the Olympics all day and all of the night (or early morning in the UK for live events).

Needless to say, the next few months on the Blog will be articles and videos dedicated to injuries: prevention, diagnosis, cures, and, of course, when you completely tear your tendons due to overuse and abuse! And I will speak from first hand personal experience!

Reflecting on Rio

Here are 3 articles reflecting on the Rio 2016 Olympics.

The first one are my thoughts during the 9 days of Track and Field... everything from Wayde's 400m WR to diving for the finish line.

Plenty of little stories within the story...

Stuart McMillan & Andre De Grasse's Story

Stuart McMillan of Altis, who is the coach of Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse, reflects on his experience.

Note: this was not Stu's first rodeo, so there is a lot to learn from the experience.

No detail is left untouched. Bookmark this article for Tokyo 2020!

Mac Wilkin and Ryan Crouser's Story

Finally, even though the topic is Shot Put, Mac Wilkins writes a nice summary of USA Gold medal winner Ryan Crouser.

Annual planning, peaking, sports psychology... it's all there. Unlike a single sprint, I love the round-by-round unfolding drama!

The best prepared athlete obviously won that day.

Anytime you are invited to speak at a conference with Boo Sschexnayder and Kelly Starrrett, you know you are in good company. I was asked to speak at the 1st edition of the World Speed Summit in June.

World Speed Summit 2 starts next week, and once again, Tyrone Edge gathered some of the best coaches in Track and Field:

Dan Pfaff, Kevin Tyler, Derek Hansen, Andreas Behm, Kebba Tolbert and even Aussie Mike Hurst returns for Round 2.

Article of the Month

John Smith and the Importance of Rhythm

There is more to running a good 100m than just speed and strength training.

I am a true believer in Rhythm, especially for the 400m. A 100m sprint may be just 43-50 strides, but how you connect them is another story.
