How To Run Faster How To Run Faster is made by Morey Croson with Performance Lab to give specific instruction for how to improve speed quickly. Enjoy!

My Name is Morey and I am the owner of Performance Lab of California. Here we look at the science behind the human body performance. This is through the breaking down of body mechanics, technology and assessment in corrective application and overall development of how you can function more optimally. Being a college athlete, I committed myself into the improvement and development of my speed and since, have dedicated my life and passion into improving this with others. Here you will find videos and breakdowns of the way me and my team can help you improve your endurance and longevity in all fields of your life.

Ever wonder why Kylian Mbappé leaves defenders frozen in his tracks? It’s not just raw speed it’s elite biomechanics.

This breakdown of Mbappé’s game reveals the specific techniques behind his terrifying pace:

• Explosive 0–10m Acceleration: Shallow shin angles allow him to drive pure horizontal force straight into the ground from a standstill, rather than wasting energy pushing upward.
• Low Ground Contact Time: Spending under 0.10 seconds on the turf, his legs act like high-rebound springs, recycling elastic energy instantly.
• Blazing Cadence: Hitting roughly 5 steps per second at a peak velocity of 38 km/h (23.6 mph).

Speed like this is a masterclass in force application and transition efficiency.

Tag a friend who thinks they are faster than Mbappe.

Are you unknowingly sabotaging your speed?

Many runners rely on common coaching cues that sound great in theory, but actually interfere with natural biomechanics and slow you down.

In this reel, we break down:

The traditional cue that limits your power output

Why it creates unwanted tension and friction

The bio-mechanically efficient shift to focus on instead for instant improvements

What cue were you taught growing up on the track? Let us know in the comments!

How To Run Faster | Drive Phase vs Top Speed Mechanics With Noah Lyles: There are a couple key distinctions from acceleration to top speed that make all the difference when it comes to running fast. In this video I go in depth into a few things that Noah Lyles does during acceleration that are very different than when at top speed. It is important to work on both the acceleration as well as top end speed sprinting if you want to have long term success with your sprinting mechanics and running faster.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce doesn’t just react to the gun she turns the first few steps into pure acceleration.

The secret? Stay low, push forward instead of popping up, and apply force into the ground with every step. Her compact first strides, powerful block clearance, and elite horizontal drive let her separate from the field before most sprinters even reach full rhythm.

It’s not about being the first to stand tall it’s about being the first to move forward.
Save this for your next block-start session.

How To Sprint Like Usain Bolt | 8 Keys That Stand Out About How Usain Bolt Sprints.
Since running faster is important in pretty much all sports, and no one has ever ran faster than Usain Bolt. In todays video I will be going in depth into the 8 things that stand out when watching Usain Bolt run that I think are critical to you improving your sprinting as well. While not everyone will be able to run as fast as Usain Bolt by following this information.
I do think everyone would be able to use this information to be able to improve their speed. Enjoy!

Lamont Jacobs just ran one of the fastest 100m times in history, and it came down to 2 things most sprinters get wrong.

Watch the full breakdown to see how he maximized his acceleration. The difference between good and elite starts in the first 30 meters.

SEND it to a teammate who needs to see this.

Comment "SPEED" and tell me: do you think you're stronger at the start or the finish?

Everyone talks about top end speed. But if you want to break records in the 40-yard dash, top speed is actually secondary.

To drop your time down into elite, record-breaking territory, everything comes down to mastering just two mechanical metrics.

Let's talk mechanics: When coaching acceleration, do you find athletes struggle more with managing ground contact time, or holding their drive angles too long?
Drop your thoughts below!

Noah Lyles just proved it again: your arms might be the secret brake on your 100m.

At the US Nationals, every detail mattered and his arm action is a masterclass in speed. Most sprinters lose velocity because their arms:
Cross the midline,
Tense up at the shoulders
Swing too wide or too late
Lyles keeps them:

✅ Driving straight forward–back
✅ Relaxed but powerful from the shoulder
✅ Perfectly synced with leg turnover
If your arms are fighting your legs,
you’re literally slowing yourself down. Fix the arm swing, unlock free speed.
Save this if you’re chasing a faster 100m.

Tag a teammate who sprints with their whole body.

Sha’Carri Richardson’s 10.77 is elite speed but the real lesson is in her sprinting mechanics.
Most runners don’t get faster because they chase long strides.
Sha’Carri stays powerful, controlled, and efficient through every phase of the race.

✅ Explosive drive phase
✅ Fast, aggressive leg turnover
✅ Strong arm mechanics
✅ Smooth transition into top speed.

Speed isn’t just effort it’s technique repeated at maximum intensity.
Save this reel and tag a sprinter who needs to fix their mechanics.
