Malik's Goals — Spring Into Fall
A working sheet, not a wish list. Each goal has a way to tell if it's actually happening — a goal you can't measure is just a hope.
Turn the speed into times — run as fast as he actually is.
Why it matters: the raw speed is already there; the mechanics and the tension are what's leaking it.
- How we'll know: personal-best times in the 100 and 200 that match the eye test.
- This week: drive out low; run relaxed at top speed.
A low, driving start.
- How we'll know: his start is with the field instead of behind it, staying low the first ten meters.
- This week: wall drives and falling starts.
Relaxed top speed.
- How we'll know: a fast race that felt easy — soft hands and face the whole way.
- This week: build-ups focused only on relaxation.
Finish the 200.
- How we'll know: a 200 where he holds his form to the line instead of tying up in the last 50.
- This week: form-under-fatigue runs; run taller when it's hard.
The one that isn't a skill
Don't press when it's big.
- How we'll know: a big race where he stays loose instead of tightening up.
- Nobody claps for this one. But for a sprinter, relaxation IS speed — it's the habit underneath every other goal.
Pick one target every time he trains or races, put a number on it, and chase it. The goals don't move — the evidence stacks up.
