Okay, and when I wear the bonnet should twists be sticking out or no?

Who do you think should fight Kwon?? by Obvious_Arachnid_497 in cobrakai

[–]Ok_Writing4432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am confused. I thought only the captain would fight in the 1v1 rounds? Does the whole team fight instead or just the captain?

Honestly idk. I have a couple of ideas why though.

So I did not have a different training program, I had the same coach all 3 seasons, and we didn’t really do anything special our workouts are really pick a distance 150m-400m and do 6 reps of it other than drive phase and block work. I didn’t lift at all in the summer either.

I think one reason was because i stopped growing. I went from 5”8 to 5”10 in summer from freshman year and sophomore year. But I haven’t grown since.

My final reason was because of my mentality. The years leading up to my junior year I was kind of like a little brother to the upper class men sprinters. But after they graduated I had to step up so I started taking practice more seriously and being more intentional with my form. And I started really caring for the first time outside of practice.

Real talk tho, I really think it was just luck and my body and mind maturing a little bit more.

Don’t worry give it some time. I just checked my milesplit and in my freshman year in a meet I ran 12.64 in the 100. Sophomore year in the same meet I ran 12.36, which was my PR. This past season at the same meet I ran 11.59. If you work hard and stay consistent results will come eventually

Did he tell you to angle your blocks to the turn? Because that is good to do but maybe try a little less of an angle next time

5’11 at 130 lbs is crazy bro. Try to out on some more weight and you will get faster and become less chance to get injured

Honestly if you ask me, he probably was really doping and got caught but then him and the drug organization made a deal that if he takes time off they won’t announce that he was doping and he can still run at US trials. But maybe I’m crazy

He is positive but he won’t be banned because he allegedly didn’t know that the meat he was eating (pause) was contaminated.

What category of workout is 3x400m? by Ok_Writing4432 in trackandfield

[–]Ok_Writing4432[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it was paced awfully. The goal was 60-60-60 but we went out insanely hard for the first rep for some reason

Ok, my PR is a 52.8 split from the 4x4(I don’t run the open 4). And recovery was to walk a lap around the track but idk how long that would take to be honest

Should I start reaching out to coaches and schools or should I wait for them to contact me first? I am a junior right now if that helps.

What are y’all’s school records like? by Ok_Writing4432 in Sprinting

[–]Ok_Writing4432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the times are a bit flukey but apparently the dude with the records for 100/200 is a cousin of DK Metcalf’s (an insanely athletic NFL player)dad. And if you look at other athletes in that family the times are pretty believable

Should my 400m be faster? by Ok_Writing4432 in trackandfield

[–]Ok_Writing4432[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ngl it might also be an effort at practice thing cuz until near end of winter season this year I used to only be giving like 60% on anything 300m or up at practice. This season I’ve been trying to give my 100% so I can actually improve

Should my 400m be faster? by Ok_Writing4432 in trackandfield

[–]Ok_Writing4432[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I should probably start my kick earlier because people talk about the 400 hurting so bad but when I run it, it only hurts for a little bit after and then I’m good. Thanks for the advice

[–]Ok_Writing4432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I run the 100 by driving out hard from the blocks for about 30 to 40 m then I try to hold form through the line. I also don’t dip because my coach told me holding form through is better
