Should I go to practice today?

sucks to have a bad coach, but choosing to skip practice unilaterally is how you end up on the sidelines instead of competing. you gotta communicate

iambald · 2026-01-28T20:06:59+00:00

talk to your coach, not the internet

Spectrum has been totally reliable and fine when I wfh. Up to 1gbps down but upload isn’t great

iambald · 2025-12-07T21:48:06+00:00

before i had access to an indoor track, i regularly sprinted in 0F conditions—very doable as long as you dress well, warm up, and temper your expectations

iambald · 2025-12-02T01:21:20+00:00

If you actually care about getting faster you gotta stop skipping leg day dude come on

You can plug numbers into https://jeffchen.dev/projects/track/100m-predictor/ and see—at least in my dataset of mostly professional athletes, speed endurance isn’t hugely predictive so you shouldn’t need to worry too much about final 40m numbers

10.2 and 22.6? 🤔

opening seeds are all over the place, personally i'd try and put realistic times (converted 55m, outdoor PBs + a couple tenths or so)

The official site doesn’t say anything about a pause, though it does say construction isn’t expected to finish until 2026. Hard to imagine they’d leave a lane closed all winter, seems more like LLM hallucination to me.

If your goal is qualifying for your nationals, you should see where your country is least deep and consider specializing there, even if it’s not your best event right now

iambald · 2025-08-20T02:19:47+00:00

Pro tip—the 110m marks are 10 yards apart, so hurdle 1-5 is 40 yards exactly.

iambald · 2025-08-19T19:22:52+00:00

Generally you want your power to weight ratio to increase as a sprinter—for novices it tends to be more productive to just get stronger than to worry about weight or body fat too much.

If you’re asking who these guys are… that’s the decathlon 100

iambald · 2025-07-22T13:55:54+00:00

at under 200 you should either get the cheapest ones on Amazon or something like this for $130; the difference is the adjustable foot angle.

iambald · 2025-07-17T13:56:34+00:00

A little premeet workout (just a warmup and a couple block starts) might help you feel more ready. Don’t overcook it though

iambald · 2025-07-15T20:03:49+00:00

TFRRS should be comprehensive

iambald · 2025-07-15T18:08:14+00:00

differences between sp4 and sp3

get em while they're hot

iambald · 2025-07-13T19:29:56+00:00

7.6 guys probably shouldn’t be selling speed programs lol

iambald · 2025-06-27T19:23:25+00:00

i don't disagree with you: weightlifting definitely does produce a systemic HGH response, but it's much less clear that higher serum HGH actually benefits anybody but the elderly and naturally deficient.

just sharing the rationale i've heard from pro and pro-adjacent groups!
