Jumping
I read about this a few years back and it never really sunk in until I tried it. Think of the catch and drive sequence, from a physiological standpoint, as you would when you prepare your body to jump. What is the last thing that happens as you leave the earth? You are on the balls of your feet. I used to feel that power was to be derived by driving my heels into the stretcher, but have come to realize there’s more to be gained by applying the same motion in the drive as you would if you were trying to jump. That is end the drive off the balls of your feet. It gets you light in the seat as well as provides a bit more leverage as you drive into the finish.
Try it and see what you think.
