Inspiring athlete of the month: Carol Lafayette-Boyd. When she was 50, Carol heard that the Canadian Masters Track and Field Meet was taking place in her home city. She hadn’t participated in track and field since high school, but she entered a few events and she won! Since then, she has been incredibly successful in the sprints and jumps, winning hundreds of medals and setting world records for her age category. In 2017, she was name Athlete of the Year by World Masters Athletics.

This one is for the sprinters and team sport athletes. A video that clearly explains the difference between the acceleration and top-speed phases of a sprint: https://youtu.be/rJ0BRPgUxb8
