What I mean by illogical is why would you raise your knee at 2378948234723 meters when you're going to need to put it back down really fast for your next "cycle" of that leg? It feels like you need to get your knee high and then drop on that same leg's foot and run with each stride... it doesn't make sense at all. I don't get the need to exaggerate the knee lift - you will raise the knee as high as the body feels like you need to in order to be the fastest.

If I were stronger then maybe my technique would look different. I always felt like technique is 100% related to your strengths and weaknesses.

So I don't really care about my technique to be honest. I will fall into place in direct proportionality with my strength.

Well... this is an older video of 2011 but it's in spikes and filmed from the start:

For me... it's always been about getting up immediately basically and just sprint as fast as I can. I don't think about it at all.

It's also been about being extremely fast in terms of leg cycle frequency, even if the strides are short. That's how I have always sprinted. So since the strides are short and I am vertical then my knee lift is very low (you can see in the video I don't get my knees high at all... that would be a very illogical position in my case, I would just collapse into the ground from that height like a robot or something).

I've always been criticized that I don't get my knees high enough. Never felt natural at all.

Some of the weirdest discussions here... I would say more but... I'm being diplomatic...

I hear something opposite of the valsalva maneuver here. I personally never did valsalva. I just BRACED or flattened my abs.

Brace? If you were to get punched in the stomach you wouldn't brace?
