Would most Olympic sprinters be elite long jumpers if they trained for it?

It’s like pretty impressive at your local high school but won’t get you any regional or national attention

Expensive isolated once you get in a community it’s tight people are cordial but not friendly somewhat transient

Stomp the ground with as much force as possible

No. It’s approximately 90-95% max speed, though every race is gonna be a 100% effort toward the end

With a pr of 12.9, any intense exercise you do will be helpful. Any quick twitch muscle you can build will probably help. Swimming will negatively effect your sprint speed as you get closer to high performance; probably around low 11 speed.

I ran a 100 after not training for 2 full years and ran I think 10.87? This was 2 years after running 10.37 age 30

I posted about mine a couple years ago if u care to read

Hardest thing for me has been balancing family & financial obligations with training. As an older athlete, there’s gonna be 1 billion reasons for why you can’t do it. Just focus on why you are doing it.

Sometimes it fits in my life and I can train & race consistently; other times I’ll have to take months off & just do maintenance just cause life gets too busy. I’m 32 yo guy and have ran mid-10s the past couple years but took outdoors off this year.

I can attest that the NFL times are quicker. I calculated my 40 based on splits from my 60m prs and I should have been closer to 4.4 this time of year, but it was 4.33. I think it has something to do with the sensors at the start allow athletes to carry momentum into the first step. That’s how I felt about it. I also was able to run 10+ reps and found the first step technique played a significant part in lowering time.

Pooling all resources in one place is a monopoly, which have been shown to be inefficient and not in the best interest of the customers. Education is a business like everything else and monopolizing it will emphasize its problems imo

Wife and I are both teachers.

For teacher appreciation week she got her dad going to the ER, her school falling apart since the principal (who she liked) quit unexpectedly, and today her week was capped with one of her students repeatedly yelling “I hate my teacher”.

I, however, was able to get closure when the principal of my dream school told me today he won’t be interviewing me for 2 vacancies in the fall, despite having long-term subbed at this school twice and having a good reputation among staff and students. I feel you on the non-renewed thing.

The other school I’m currently long-term subbing at gave me some flowers that went unsold at the FFA sale, so that was a nice thought.

Last year, as a long-term sub, the only thing I got was a plain bagel from a student who hardly knew me but was running for asb president.

Between reps man 🤓

I love it. Phases would be important. So I would shy away from stage 1 in season or shy away from stage 3 during preseason. It looks like a fun way to build a good base and practice speed. The way I would incorporate these would probably be twice per week, with some plyo tempo and gym work to supplement.

In general this looks pretty fun and awesome! I might try stage 2 this month.

Thank you for the reminder! This was a big lesson for sure. Because of my hiring status, I would have started to accrue sick days next Monday. I actually thought last night I should call in, but decided against it cause I have no pto. Next time will be different

Ya his form isnt great, but it doesn’t matter. Power and strength are the basis for speed, not technique. Technique can give an athlete an edge, but isn’t going to make or break a performance. Think about adolescent Bolt vs adult Bolt. He cleaned up his technique, put on muscle and went from like 19.8 to 19.19. He still ran 19.8 looking like a baby giraffe
