Is anyone here from Toronto, Canada? Would love to connect and learn from you. I'm an enthusiast who recently got into sprinting and never had any proper coaching or training. Timed myself last time I was on the track and ran ~12.5s 100m. I'd love it if I could shave off 1 second this summer. Btw, I'm 31yo.
Edit: added age
I didn't do track in high school or college but an enthusiast in my 30s, I'd like to try training with spikes. Any entry-level spike recommendations?
Coach Stu McMillan has often (including on the Huberman podcast) said you need to be flat-footed in contact with the ground. But I see sprinters are on the ball of their feet all the time. What am I missing here? Is the flat-foot technique perhaps just for beginners, and should be transitioned to the ball of the foot as you get better?
