Does the toe drag make you faster and should you use it to improve your speed?
In this lesson you'll learn:
1. What the toe drag is (and why most sprinters get it wrong).
2. Why and when it's used by olympic sprinters.
3. Some tips that will help you decide if you should implement the toe drag technique into your sprint training.

The toe drag is all about low heel recovery. You may have seen athletes like Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell performing a toe drag in their warm up. What's good for them is good for the rest of us mere mortal sprinters, right? As with most things in track and field, it's not that simple :)

In this lesson Olympic Sprint Coach Ken Harnden breaks down why the toe drag isn't as straightforward as many people make it out to be and provides some pointers on how to properly implement this technique into your starts.
