[WATCH] Noah Lyles issues sneak peek into his training ahead of US Olympic trials
Noah Lyles has shared a glimpse of his training ahead of his first race at the US Olympic trials, with his main focus on qualifying for four events at the global bonanza.
Speaking after the victory, Lyles was impressed with his start from the blocks and explained that he had a stronger reaction time but noted that he expects even better going into the semifinal.
“I’m really proud of what I’ve put together and my coach and I were saying that you need to win the race from the 60m. I’d definitely say that’s the best I’ve felt and I think I ran a little faster at World’s last year but I didn’t have what I was looking for,” he said.
The American sprint king added that this year, things are working out well for him, and coming from the heats, he feels like he is on the right track when it comes to executing races.
Meanwhile, Miller explained that competing in the senior category is different for him since he had to learn how to get off the blocks faster and just keep going, racing against very strong and experienced athletes.
“I kind of knew my top end and I kind of knew I had a bad start but I was confident that in the last 30m I would be able to get back up and catch up with the rest. I just want to take one round at a time and not worry on what will happen next and I just want to go out there and compete,” he said.
