USAIN BOLT DQ'D. maintaining core stability and hip extension

Oh man I could not believe my eyes when I saw it!  He was a sure shot to win and due to a recent rule change you get disqualified if you false start.  My heart goes out to him. Congrats to Yohan Blake.

In watching the Track Championships I noticed two things.  1. great runners get to full hip extension when their foot is in contact with the ground. 2. great runners have rock solid midline stability.  If you sit at your job do the couch stretch compliments of Kelly Starrett to work on getting that hip extension that is so important in ALL athletics.  Also take a look at the video from Brian Mackenzie, founder of CrossFit Endurance and see how a press can fit into your running routine.  BELLY TIGHT!!
