Before training or competing, you must take the body from a resting state to a working state. Jog at least two laps, then stretch. No matter how much stretching you do, it is important that you hold your stretches. Don't bounce.

The placement of the blocks can be critical to a quick start. Some sprinters stagger the blocks too far apart or too close together thus losing power with an inefficient push-off. Every runner is different. Block placement may have more to do with the length of one's calf. Repeated experimentation with timing over 20 meters should determine the best stagger position.
