If you want to run faster this track season, read this👇🏼 Doing these 4 things have all played a part in seeing faster times on the track: 1️⃣ Plyometrics 👉🏼 Doing plyos regularly will improve your tendon elasticity, your fast twitch muscle fibers, and overall explosiveness helping you run faster. If you’re looking to add plyometrics into your training routine, I have a plyometric program linked in my bio that’s a great place for you to start! 2️⃣ Olympic Lifts 👉🏼 Lifts like cleans and snatches are great for developing explosive strength involved in a block start! The better I get at these the faster I’ve run!🏋🏼‍♀️ 3️⃣ Creatine 👉🏼 Creatine boosts your power output for short explosive movements and can also help delay fatigue, helping you run faster for longer🏃🏼‍♀️ My favorite Creatine is linked in my bio so be sure to go check that out if you’re interested in adding creatine into your supplement routine! 4️⃣ Treatment 👉🏼 You can’t run fast if you’re injured. Getting consistent treatment ensures that you stay healthy enough to compete well 🙌🏼 #track #trackandfield #sprinting #runfaster #plyometrics #creatine #supplements #lifting

What if it all works out?🤔 At the end of my 2024 season I seriously contemplated quitting. I just came off of the worst season of my career. Not a single meet went well, I wasn’t healthy all year long, my technique was a mess, and my confidence was gone. All of that made me fall out of love with the sport I had been so passionate about for the past 12 years. I couldn’t have asked for better timing for my two week off-season. It fell right over the Olympic Games. I think watching something as big as the Olympics ignites a fire inside all of us. And I was locked in. I’d wake up at 2am to watch the heptathlon events live. And as I would watch every single event I thought “I can do that”. And just like that I was 110% committed to track & field again. I made some necessary changes and worked harder than I ever had before. When the 2025 indoor season started, it was hard to not get caught up on how all of my past seasons had went. How I was almost used to the feeling of disappointment every meet. There were a lot of factors that allowed me to turn my career around and get on the right track, but a big one was allowing myself to dream big and truly believe that my goals are possible… because what if they are? What if I start to figure everything out? What if I can go out there and exceeded expectations? What if I can qualify for these big meets I have on my bucket list? What if I can become on of the best to do it? You don’t have to be the best in order to become the best. Dream big, work hard, and believe that anything is possible… because what if it is? #track #trackandfield #trackathlete #heptathlete #heptathlon #combinedevents #running #hurdle #hurdles #hurdler #sprinting #highjump #longjump #shotput #800m #trackseason

Train hard & recover harder 📈 1️⃣ Foam roll / massage gun 👉🏼 I use the @therabody theragun. I have the exact one I use linked in my bio! 2️⃣ Post workout stack 👉🏼 I’ve always taken protein from @1stphorm but adding the carbs in the post workout stack have definitely made an impact on my ability to recover faster after hard sessions. I’ve linked this in my bio as well😊 3️⃣ Compression boots / firefly 👉🏼 I use compression boots from either @lifeprousa or @hyperice and if I don’t want to use compression boots I’ll use my @fireflyrecovery devices instead! I’m a big fan of the firefly devices because they’re so small and I can easily take them with me when I travel. I’ve linked them in my bio as well🔗 4️⃣ Collagen 👉🏼 This is another great way to get protein in, but more specifically protein that is designed to help my joints, ligaments, and tendons stay strong and healthy! I mix this into my coffee every day and it tastes amazing😊 The specific collagen I use is linked in my bio! There are definitely other ways you can recover between workout sessions other than what I’ve listed, but by doing these 4 things I’ve noticed such a big difference in my ability to bounce back from one hard session to the next 🙌🏼 #track #trackandfield #trackandfieldtraining #trackandfieldlife #trackathlete #athletics #heptathlete #heptathlon #running #runner #training #recovery #recoverfaster #injuryprevention #overuseinjury #stayhealthy

As someone who’s struggled the most with javelin out of any other event, here are a couple of cues that have made the biggest difference in my throws ⬇️ 1️⃣ It’s all about the direction of the throw - Keep the left shoulder closed and think about throwing more towards the right side of the sector. That will keep the javelin from turning sideways in the air ✈️ 2️⃣ Follow through with your hand facing out - This is another trick to keep the javelin from turning sideways in the air. A proper follow through is the finishing touch to keep the javelin headed in the right direction 🧭 3️⃣ Throw it flat - Trying to sky the throw causes the nose of the javelin to tip up and the tail to get low. When you release it like that the javelin will be closer to perpendicular to the ground and it won’t go very far. By thinking about keeping it flat, you’ll be able to throw it at a much better angle and set the javelin up for a better flight pattern allowing it to go further 📐 These are just a few cues that have really helped me throw better! If you’re a thrower and have some other helpful cues in mind, leave them in the comments!! 💬 #track #trackandfield #javelin #javelinthrow

Discipline > Feelings Don’t do it because you feel motivated, do it because you told yourself you would do it. Motivation will always come and go. Discipline is what you have to rely on to keep chipping away at your goals🙌🏼 #track #trackandfield #motivation #discipline
