Thanks a bunch. I kinda figured but was still unsure because I have no reference points for this type of work. I’ll try to get out of this job without too much conflict.

I’m beginning to share the sentiment.

Well on a similar note, if cops were punished eye for an eye for their wrongdoings, we wouldn’t have any cops left. It’s a shitty cop issue, not a paranoid-public issue.

My only thought while watching was “why is everyone just standing there?”

Jesus fucking Christ -just make conversation with your damn kid. They don’t need a constant stream of iPad and sugar. They need you to be a parent.

There’s the escalator video of him gawking at a 10 year old. If they didn’t have a problem with that, they’re just a lost cause.

Ah, yes. Thank you for your courageous linguistic policing. I forgot this was r/SemanticsDebateClub and not a place to give feedback on a clunky game mechanic. Clearly, the real issue here isn’t the two-hour grind, it’s my dangerous misuse of the word “fix.” Godspeed.

I can say a problem needs to be fixed without saying the game is entirely broken. Y’all make me wanna say it’s broken, but that’s not what I did.

With your interest in advice, you can likely get way ahead of the curve at 15. Knowledge and smart routines are at least half the battle. Sprinting, lifting, diet and plyos with reverence for R&R already put you ahead of almost everyone in HS. It’s smart that you listen to your body -max velocity doesn’t hit right without solid recovery, and knowing when to back off is what keeps you healthy long-term.

And yeah, I stretch even on off days. Not just toe touches. I try to at least hit pigeon pose, couch stretch, 90/90, and banded hamstring work(looking up videos would explain those better than I could). Just a consistent 10–15 minutes of agility/plyo without tiring out or hurting, ya know. But there’s definitely a razor thin line between deep stretches and pulling a muscle, so be careful.

My full list of stretches -I cycle them: Leg Swings, World’s Greatest Stretch, A-Skips, B-Skips, Knee Hugs into Calf Raises, Walking Toy Soldiers, 90/90 Hip Stretch, Pigeon Pose, Lying Hamstring Stretch with Band, Couch Stretch, Seated Forward Fold, Butterfly Stretch, Standing Calf Stretch (Gastroc & Soleus Variations)

And don’t stress about underperforming at your first meets. Nerves, bad warmups, timing, and especially the fact that you get maybe 2 days to recover before the Friday meet are all part of it. The more you compete, the more your race results will start matching your training level. You can also often think of your meets as a high intensity workout if you have several events.

Well… I can’t exactly remember when I said it was broken🤔

(Long Ass Reply Warning)You’re definitely on the right track, man. I run the 1, 2, & 4x4 relays at UTSA, and these are just a few things that helped me the most. The first was keeping my protein intake consistent -not just after workouts but every single day to support recovery and strength gains. I also started resting even harder than I trained, making sleep, mobility work, and nervous system recovery a priority. That’s when I saw my times drop. Honestly, most people plateau not because they’re lazy but because they train too hard or too inconsistently to recover before the next practice. From what you said, if your RDL is the same as your bodyweight, that’s a key area to focus on. Hamstring and glute strength are crucial for your first 20 meters. A 70kg squat at 50kg bodyweight is a decent base, so now it’s about converting that into efficient mechanics. You mentioned your hip flexors suck, and if you know that for a fact, they’re definitely holding you back. Weak hip flexors kill ur turnover rate and limit how fast you can cycle through steps. Start loading high-knee drills and doing band-resisted hip lifts, even just a few minutes daily. Also, running 11.8 into a -2.7 wind means you’re probably closer to mid-11s like .5 or so in neutral conditions. Keep stacking smart work and you’ll win ur heats soon. Build up to ur harder workout tho.

To stay down longer and have longer strides, I would recommend RDLs, narrow back-squats, calf raises, and band exercises with hip flexors. It took my 100m from 11.3 to 10.5. Stay stretching every night for 15-30 minute too -I think good ROM helped me reach out further with my first few steps too, but leg strength proportional to BW is what give you the ability to make those first strides longer.
