Welcome to Part 2 of our sprint form mini-series!
If you missed Part 1, pause here and go back—we covered foot strike, knee drive, and arm pumping, the foundation of powerful sprinting.
Today, we’re finishing the puzzle with the top three mechanics that help you stay controlled, rhythmic, and resilient:
➡️ Hip Extension
➡️ Torso Position & Posture
➡️ Cadence & Ground Contact Time
If you’ve ever felt off-balance when running or like your speed tanks mid-course, these tweaks are your missing link. Learn what to watch for, how to cue each correction, and which drills to use for results that show up where it counts.
