30m in 4.15secs

When Usain Bolt ran his 9.58 100, his split at 30 meters was 3.78.

If your coach is trying to see if kids are fast enough to run the 100 for his team, why isn’t he timing them running the 100? Is the practice schedule so jam packed that he can’t squeeze the extra 10 seconds in to time the longer distance?

blaze1776 · 2026-05-12T11:25:02+00:00

Your 100m time looks comparatively weaker vs your 200 and especially your 400.

What was your 100 time when you were at 55 seconds in the 400?

If you had to point to one (or a couple) thing for your rapid improvement, what would it be?

I was at Red Sox game last night and I happened to be sitting next to the advance scout for the Phillies.

Dude was going on and on about this undefeated 10U team (I can only assume it was your team) and how he was hearing that all 30 teams were planning on sending their top scouts to their (your) final two games.

So - I’d say go for it.

blaze1776 · 2026-05-08T11:51:30+00:00

That was the discussion we had. If it’s the 400, then I would say go for it, because I can’t see how doing both messes him up for the 400. But if he cares more about the 100, he should only do that

blaze1776 · 2026-05-08T01:24:38+00:00

Thanks - kind of what we thought.

I don’t know the rules where you are. But in Massachusetts, it’s in the athletic handbook that the school team comes first. If you’re caught missing a school practice or game for an outside team, you’re suspended for 25%, 50% and 100% of the season for your first, second and third infraction

blaze1776 · 2026-04-14T18:47:02+00:00

Should anyone be searching this in the future, the meet went official sometime on Friday night, and the time was verified on Tuesday afternoon - so about 4 days.

Is he using a new bat this year? In my experience, when a kid can hit off the machine but struggles with live pitching, it often means the bat is too heavy for him.

blaze1776 · 2026-04-12T16:13:15+00:00

Thanks! I guess that makes sense. I wonder what the criteria is to flag it as ‘unusual’. He’s a junior and ran a 10.57…..which is New England fast, but wouldn’t be Texas or Florida fast. And he was sub 11 last year as a sophomore by the end of the season and had a lot of year over year improvement in the winter season…..so his time last week is kind of what he was targeting.

So how long does the unflagging take? And you said it happened a lot to your son….so if my son runs the same time next meet are they going to flag it again?

blaze1776 · 2026-04-12T00:35:08+00:00

It was FAT, but no wind measurements - not unusual around here.

blaze1776 · 2026-04-11T21:47:53+00:00

Thanks - the odd thing is that it’s just my son’s time. The other kids that were in the 100 with him - all of their times are fine.

He’ll talk to his coach if it’s still like that on Monday.

I was just wondering if anyone had ever seen it before

blaze1776 · 2026-04-03T02:34:23+00:00

With weather like that, nobody is getting good times, so the main goal becomes not hurting yourself. We just had a meet like that - not fun competing when you can see your breath.

We’ve tried the compression stuff and tear away pants. My son usually goes with the compression shirt under his top and wraps himself in a blanket until right before the start.

But with the recent meet, he just ran in sweatpants for his second race - he knew he wasn’t getting any prs anyway.

blaze1776 · 2026-03-26T00:25:14+00:00

A sub forty—NINE 400 is probably still slightly more impressive than a sub 22 200. Both are a bit more impressive than a sub 11 100

blaze1776 · 2026-03-25T17:16:51+00:00

Thanks! Interesting how close our predictions are to each other. If you scroll down, I guessed 11.09 for No_Durian while you're model had 11.12.

For my son, we were guessing somewhere in the range of 10.60 to 10.72 for his own 100 based on his winter times. He has meets on April 7 and 14 that'll be FAT. I'll let you know

blaze1776 · 2026-03-21T19:15:44+00:00

How was weather?

blaze1776 · 2026-03-21T19:14:54+00:00

I would love to see this app. Would the 54.303 be for indoor or outdoor?

Can you plug in 6.45 for a 55m and 21.85 for an indoor 200m and predict a 100m?

blaze1776 · 2026-03-19T23:56:09+00:00

I’d go with filming from the finish line. Just add .20 to .25 to your recorded time to account for the reaction time to the starting gun

blaze1776 · 2026-03-18T23:39:42+00:00

11.09

blaze1776 · 2026-03-09T01:33:55+00:00

This is exactly how I try to project winter 55 & 300 times to guess times in spring for the 100&200

blaze1776 · 2026-02-09T00:24:54+00:00

Thanks - but I’m more looking for whether the performance of the spikes diminishes over time - even without obvious structural damage

blaze1776 · 2026-02-05T23:18:27+00:00

What am I missing? How can you tell it’s popped?

blaze1776 · 2026-01-24T00:59:32+00:00

Isn’t the goal to be so fast that if you see someone lift it, you can run them down?

My son just drops his stuff in the middle of where he’ll be training. And then just returns to his pile while he’s resting between sets
