Hey there. I'm a sprinter and my main events include 50 fly and free. However, at most times, after finishing my race I feel like I could've gone much faster and done much better. I don't feel tired at all. When I try to go faster during the race, it's like something is holding me back. I'm not tired, I'm trying to go fast but it just doesn't happen. I don't go fast even if I pull more efficiently and kick with more power. I've tried doing 100s but I absolutely suck at them. What would you advice? Also, I lot of people have told me that this happens because I don't sprint properly. Any tips on how to sprint properly?
The problem might be you need to train your anaerobic energy systems more. You can do this with more sprinting in practice and also weight lifting/dry land exercises. Someone with more slow twitch muscles and under-developed anaerobic energy systems can't produce the short term power required to exhaust themselves as much as someone who is more adapted to sprinting.
