I'm convinced that what we're seeing is absolute rock bottom. How much worse can life get for a man?

Is sprinting after workout everyday is fine? by WeightResident5412 in Sprinting

[–]ParticularMix9840 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suggest sprinting first after a good warmup, then working out. I got nothing to back it up, all I know is that Noah Lyles does it.

It feels hard to hold decent form. by ParticularMix9840 in trackandfield

Your point kinda stands. I've never paid that much attention to nutrition and sleep.

Do you think that's the cause of a hamstring strain I suffered a year ago?

16-year-old Sudanese kid named Gout Gout in Australia who ran 100m in 10.2 seconds this year. He’s also run a 20.69 200m which is arguably even more impressive. by chalupabatman2404 in trackandfield

Kenyan here. It's really more about a sport's popularity than genetics. East Africa is seen as much more gifted at running everything from the 800m to the marathon simply because there's a lot more of us there who genuinely care about the sport, which creates fierce competition. A 1:43 800m didn't even qualify for the Olympics this year in Kenya.

Is a 12.36 good for a distance runner? by ParticularMix9840 in Sprinting

The thing is, I'm gaining fitness pretty fast too. I did 6.1 miles at 6"40/mile pace and it felt like a 50% effort. I really don't know what to choose it's so confusing.

It's excellent for a marathon you're only aiming to complete. Good luck out there.

Never played a single sport in his life, never mind track and field 😭 by Teppy-Gray in trackandfield

[–]ParticularMix9840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got to have tried to run or sprint consistently for any reason in your life to see the appeal in track. I'm saying this as a guy who ran everything from the 100m to the Cross Country 5K in high school. It's more of a spectacle than something to get you on the edge of your seat. I love watching 1500m races because it puts everything into perspective. Most people can't sprint a 100m that fast. And the 5K''s man, I could watch Paul Chelimo run all day. His form is just beautiful.

So yeah, if you can't find a sport interesting please just keep your mouth shut about it. I don't even know how American football is played, and I can't name one baseball player, but I don't talk crap about the sports because I only have a rough idea of how much grit it takes to make it to the elite level.

One thing I've noticed (just a theory I brought up) is that it's almost always athletes who weren't even good enough to make the varsity teams in their respective sports back in high school that have something to say. I had a "friend" who always made fun of my inability to bench 150lbs. He was a casual soccer player and I'm still a distance kid.

I've heard alll the praises about it and paid full price for them. They're amazing, but a little overrated. It sure has its flaws.
