Carl Lewis 1991 100m World Records. He started off using his power to get out of the blocks. He remained in the drive phase until about 40m into the race while others were at max velocity at 20-30m. Carl Lewis simply slowed down the slowest. He was as max velocity between 40 - 50 meters. He simply used his drive phase to extend his max velocity and maintenance beyond his competition. This is all about understanding the importance of your drive phase. 100m sprinting is the most technically challenging sprints. That’s why it’s so popular.
On “Made an adjustment to my block settings. Feel like my first step looks wonky, what do you guys think?”
Please see Carl Lewis 1991 World Record in the 100m. Notice at about 50m into the race, he was literally in the 4 place position. Luckily this was the 100m not the 60m dash. He simply used his start and drive place to promote power instead of speed out of the blocks. It was a matter of who’s going to slow down the slowest at that point. Carl Lewis simply reserved his power midway through the race while other did the opposite.
