Commonwealth Youth Games - Pune, India
It has been a super long time since i last blog about our training matters. Has been travelling quite abit and no time to sit down to blog. Just came back from India, Pune from Commonwealth Youth Games. 2 sprinters went. Balpreet and Calvin. Both manage to enter up to semi finals. Calvin missed by 0.01s to the finals.
Balpreet Heats: 12.47s, semi: 12.37s
Calvin Heats: 10.94s, semi: 10.76s
After watching the 100m finals, I realised that running technique is really important. that is why I'm very particular in running mechanics. making sure drills and interval runs are done properly. Abeypitiyage Shehan Sadaruwan from Sri Lanka confirmed my statement. With close to perfection running technique, fantastic legs frequency and cycling action, with arms pumping vigoriously and relax at the same time. He is a class above all. He is not bulky, not very tall, doesn't look like a sprinter, but he ran 10.43s in the finals.
