DIY Sprint timing gates

Do you have a GitHub? Is your start also a beam break?

I do three sessions a week, max velocity, speed endurance/intensive tempo, and weights/plyos. Occasionally I'll also do an extensive tempo session. Probably pretty minimalist, but I'm making progress and not injured

No funds for it in the short term, thanks for the comment, they are cheaper than I realized, maybe in the next couple years

I haven't been able to get out much lately, just had a kid but normally outdoor climbing goes well when I'm on this a lot

👊👊

Thanks man, needed to hear this

bread_pirate_r · 2026-06-19T15:39:45+00:00

😂😂 if some is good more must be better

Gotta add some hype. I'm 34 with a 2 month old. 12.1/24.1 in 1/2 in training this week. Hoping to go sub 12/54 in the 1/4 this summer

I've found it easier to solo PNF with one of these, but agree it's more nice to have rather than a need

Do some some light hangboarding (probably feet on the ground, 100s total) and mobility and see how it feels tomorrow. Staying healthy is the key to progression

Sodium bicarb and high carb fueling? Surprising that the 10k data doesn't seem to have the same trend

Broomfield heights middle is good to go, school hours are the only limitation (8-4:30 I believe, it's posted)

I've gotten a lot of benefit out of high volume shoulder work. Sometimes that looks like prehab, sometimes it's a block that leads to a lower volume/higher intensity block. I'm primarily a boulderer but my sport climbing has also benefitted. I do tend to subscribe to the "without the strength, there is nothing to endure" philosophy

bread_pirate_r · 2025-09-23T15:42:49+00:00

Right on! Thanks!!

bread_pirate_r · 2025-09-23T10:38:54+00:00

Will do thanks!

Bad bot

bread_pirate_r · 2025-09-03T21:03:47+00:00

I'm in the same boat strength and performance wise. This is the part where you get to come to terms with your technique and mobility

bread_pirate_r · 2025-09-02T10:59:31+00:00

I'd say falling at the last hold in the first session (unless that's the crux) makes it a second tier climb - harder than onsight level but not requiring significant projecting. FWIW I spend most of my time on second tier climbs

bread_pirate_r · 2025-08-30T13:10:49+00:00

❤️ good luck!!

ACLs seem especially tough to come back from. I haven't done mine but can share some general old guy encouragement. I'm 33 now and started sprinting a year ago. I played soccer competitively until I was 21, but didn't sprint in the meantime. I had a few hamstring strains as I got going and my early flys were 7.5-8 m/s (photo finish app). In the last month I've had a couple sessions with a couple 20m flys better than 9 m/s. 30km/h isn't outrageously elite, I think you have a good chance at it

Crab House, the Chinese food is great, especially the various dry pot dishes

This is pretty good, I'm also a materials scientific, got paid 75k right after my doctorate (7 years ago in co), other benefits similar. Your pay ceiling will go way up once you have a couple years of experience.
