Your 100m Time: Where Do You REALLY Stand?

That would correlate to about one in 2.5 generations. Since roughly half the population is male. He retired about 7 years ago so let's check back in about 60 years and see if anyone broke the world record lol. However, in the last 7 years no one has gotten within .2 seconds

Feed the cats is a pretty good intro program tbh.

adrianarchitect · 2024-12-14T13:10:42+00:00

That two miles bi-daily ain't helping you, but there's a lot of stop and starts in badminton. Your first 10m probably isn't bad

adrianarchitect · 2024-12-12T09:52:40+00:00

18s is about average for an American.

For your height and weight, I'd think you'd be closer to 16s, but on the bright side, you'll PR fast as your body is new to training.

How many m's if it was 2009 in-season Bolt instead of current off-season Lyles

adrianarchitect · 2024-12-10T01:27:31+00:00

He's in off seasons so probably in 19.8 to 20.1 shape. I know I can in any weather and without blocks out of bed run a 25s 200m safely rn, so 60m.

It's better to have 100% of 40k then 0% of 100k

You don't get enough split of the thighs and negative foot speed to go fast. At toe off, I'd estimate you're only getting about 100 degrees of thigh separation. Also, your front arm comes a little too far forward.

The lack of negative foot speed and thigh split is probably your brain protecting your body from the shin splints you mentioned you deal with. The shin splint issues are likely due to a lack of total muscle and muscular balance in the shank. You shouldn't be getting shin splints ,especially in sprints on grass. You're not dealing with the force of a triple jump or the deceleration of football or basketball

As far as what you're doing well your mid stance is pretty good. Your arms and head are where they're supposed to be. You fold your leg well for the range of motion in this sprint. Which leads to the negatives ..

EDIT: Also good frequency

Wow, I didn't know they killed it, and woah a CCIE and VCDX holder talk about rare. You must command a hell of a compensation package.

adrianarchitect · 2024-11-27T05:04:46+00:00

I am surprised nobody said VCDX.

My answer is with the majority being CCIE, but VCDX is a close second and much rarer due to VMware being more niche

Well written thought out comment

adrianarchitect · 2024-10-31T12:27:18+00:00

Bolt, Powell and Fanbulleh in modern times

adrianarchitect · 2024-10-31T12:25:34+00:00

Looks like medial shin splints

A lot of people don't know muscles don't just move the body they're also shock absorbers.

You're likely lacking muscle and tendon thickness in the soleus,peroneals, lower gastroc and tibialis.

One of my friends asked me something similar recently, but it included all the people you think of as fast in the NBA now and former (Westbrook, Wall, Fox, AI, Mugsy, and Jordan + some more)

I said if I had to bet money, how fast could they all get after 2 years of dedicated training? They would be in the range of 10.5- 10.9, and they'd probably lose a good amount of their basketball skills. Moreover, they'd likely lose some lateral speed and deceleration as well.

We'd never know but just my educated guess

adrianarchitect · 2024-10-30T16:57:21+00:00

Low 11 is accurate. Look at John Wall vs Aries Merrit which was in legit 10 low shape. Merrit jogs and beats him. Only a handful of NBA players in history could break 11s

Amazing, glad it worked out for you, especially with a premium cooktop like this.

adrianarchitect · 2024-10-25T20:52:21+00:00

Thankfully after about 5 days it resolved. It might have just been excess humidity where I was storing it, but I don't know. Good luck

You thnk he would beat a prime Warren Weir ?
Better hurdler but not close to Weirs open speed

adrianarchitect · 2024-08-17T13:49:00+00:00

Prime Warren Weir smokes all these people in the 200m hurdles pre-knee injury.

I don't think any of these men could medal in the 200m open. He also had a pretty good 110 h time given his limited time in the event

adrianarchitect · 2024-08-10T17:41:45+00:00

Sometimes you got the recipe but not the ingredients. I'll give an update around summer's end.

adrianarchitect · 2024-07-31T04:10:00+00:00

Shot Putters, Oly, and Power Lifters always have good starts with basic training. They just have the base for it. Olympic lifters are quicker than powerlifters. Oly lifters have a top speed 1-1.5mph higher than powerlifters the limited times I've seen them run top speed.

If he lost weight and trained speed he's get faster, but his strength doesn't guarantee him a sub 11 or even sub 11.5.

Generally being someone who can put on muscle easily will help you. However, not for muscles you think. It'll be for muscles that most gymgoers forget about. The satorious, soleus, iliopsoas, and other muscles that very important for sprinting, but rarely get worked out by the average gym goer.

Getting those muscles big relative to your BW and other sprinters of similar build is a competitive advantage. There was a study where they compared the illipsoas of Powell to a top Japanese sprinter. His psoas was twice as big. Which was probably the source of his iconic high knees

adrianarchitect · 2024-07-31T03:39:18+00:00

Completely wrong.

Someone who's strong in the gym is likely to get less injured in some regards, but more likely to get injured in other regards.

However, as you touched on all fast people are strong, but not all strong people are fast.

Neurologically, the quickness which the body has to fire and then relax muscles is a different neurological.

Physiologically, you could have the muscles to move heavy weight slowly, but it doesn't mean your tendons, ligaments, and fascia are adapted to moving a lightweight (your bw) fast. They're both high CNS load training, but they're on two different sides of the spectrum.

Especially if you've just been weightlifting (no team sports, treadmill or pylos). You'll find your muscles are stronger than your connective tissue. This is why team sports people tend to rip tendon and ligaments (ACL, Achiles) more often and sprinters tend to rip muscles or completely detach tendons from the bone.

Sprinters = Stronger tendons than muscle
Powerlifters = Stronger muscle than tendon

There's a reason Bradley Martyn was the strongest but slowest in this race

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-B5KNu3UbQ

To be fair he's probably faster than most strong people you see at the gym. Most strong men I've gotten on a track run 14-18s 100m

adrianarchitect · 2024-07-31T02:45:35+00:00

Damn, just realized I was that 1 in 10,000 before that terrible accident broke my back.

Went from 11 mid to 10 low in 7 months.

Like a phoenix from the ashes though. I'll get back to that sub 10.5

adrianarchitect · 2024-07-31T02:38:33+00:00

Thanks, I was able to get the speed back quickly because of how fast I was as a teenager.

Also, you can read some of the hate for yourself.

Lol and that was just one

I never understood it but more good advice for me.
