@breakawayperformance: “Just run flat out”… here’s the science behind why the 100m and 200m are exceptionally difficult events to master, what your energy systems mean in each race, and why you can’t just go as hard as you can the whole time. #sprinting #trackandfield #athlete #100m #fyp

Do you think the outside lane is the most advantageous for a 200?

1. ATP-PC system last for 10 seconds, but your body does not "transition", ATP-PC just becomes a secondary system beyond 10 seconds. Instead, the more dominant Anareobic Glycolysis system takes charge. During Bolt's 100m, his splits slow beyond the 80m mark, representing the change of dominant system at around 8 seonds. Bolt runs the 100m using ATP-PC ≈ 95% of the time. The graph YOU SHOWED literally shows the crossover between Anaerobic Glycolysis and ATP-PC at 6 seconds, but ATP-PC depleting at 10 seconds. 2. The power system chosen by the body is depedent on heart rate, and not how fast you are running. Example: ATP-PC is used beyond 95% maximum heart rate. In the 200m, it is not neccesarily going at "maximum speed" through the bend, but rather going at maximal intensity to stay with the other runners. Anyone who has run the 200m knows that you cant magically turn on the ATP-PC system on the straight after jogging the bend. Yes, the bend mechincally limits the speed, but that is not relevant since the bend is equal to each runner. 3. When you do any sort of excerise, it is NOT one system that does all the hard work, as you claim, instead its a combination of all three working simultaneously, at different dominances. Example: beyond 10s, Anareobic Glycolysis becomes the dominant system. At the instant the race begins, you are still technically using Glycolysis and Aerobic, but extremely miniscule amounts of it. If I am wrong, let me know please! I dont want this to spiral into an argument I just want people watching this video fully understanding whats going on.

It’s not wrong Usain Bolt did it for almost exactly the full 200m now if you physically can’t get in shape for it then you can change it but it’s not about the bend limiting you you should still be about as fast as you can run around a curve

That might be the case for your 200, but the 100 is short enough for the energy systems not to be your main limiter. Your time is probably still slow due to (1) Technique, (2) conditioning (which could improve on the points you touched on in the video), (3) Strength & Power output (what are your lifts like?), (4) Training structure, or just a combination of short falls in all of them.
