The championship is won in the rounds nobody watches

Most sprinters stand up too early and blame the blocks

Hurdling is a rhythm event pretending to be a sprint

The cooldown is the most under-coached session of the week

In the four hundred, going out too fast is the correct mistake

Hamstrings tear before the foot lands, not after

The eight hundred is the event nobody knows how to train

Reaction time is the least important part of a start

Heavy squats do not make you fast on their own

A lab threshold number is a hypothesis, not a plan

The call room is where sprinters get injured

Stride frequency is the wrong number to chase

The three energy systems do not take turns

The hundredth-of-a-second rule punishes the honest starter

You do not change your fibres, you change who calls them

Lactate was never the thing making you hurt

Copying a champion's block settings is a good way to run slower
