How Usain Bolt runs so fast

HOW USAIN BOLT RUNS SO FAST??

Usain Bolt makes sprinting look easy. It’s almost as if he doesn’t have to try. But we’ll let you in on a little secret: Sure, the eight-time Olympic champion is more of a natural runner than we are, but he still has to work at it in order to keep himself in top form.
He has roughly the same stride frequency as every other elite sprinter in the world but once he’s up to speed, his stride length is longer.
That’s it in a nutshell really.
The old thinking in sprinting was that you needed to be short and you needed to be absolutely ripped to be a good sprinter. The thought being that if you had a higher muscle power to weight ratio than you’d be able to accelerate faster and farther than a taller person.

Tyson Gay is 5′10″ and 165 pounds
Andre De Grasse is 5′ 9″ and 154 pounds
Bolt has turned this thinking on its head. He’s 6′5″ and 207 pounds.
Studies are showing now that taller and thinner athletes are proving to be more effective sprinters than before, likely due to advances in weight training protocols and more detailed studies looking into optimal running form and how horizontal power is generated — longer legs can give you more efficient drive enabling you to dive yourself farther faster.
Bolt has achieved this by his hark work and determination towards racing.Their is no short cut only hark work plays the important role.
