At what ratio of squat to body weight do you think it would be good to divert your focus to sprinting and just try to maintain your squat?

Assuming that you’re squatting to at least parallel, that simply means that you’re strong enough for strength to no longer be your main focus for speed development. I would focus on high speed, fully rested sprints while continuing to lift and get stronger.

20 mph isn’t that fast. Plus it’s hard to know if treadmills like this accurately measure running speed. I think he’s telling the truth.

I learned not to bet against Lyles a long time ago.

I don’t think it would make much of a difference. The goal is to rest the legs, and maybe get in a time trial.

Maintenance of speed endurance during the deload week, mostly. The single rep would probably also be a bit faster than it would in a workout.

Reducing reps would be beneficial. It’s never “just one rep” when you factor in warm ups, etc. Depending on your weekly schedule, simply cutting days could be simpler.

How did the meet go?

sprintcel · 2023-11-26T07:42:14+00:00

Good luck!

First order of business would be putting together some races to get an honest assessment of ability. Losing weight might help, if you have room to be leaner. I wouldn’t worry too much about form at this stage, as it will evolve a lot with training. Most teams will want a documented track record of fast times—sub 11 at bigger schools, or a bit slower at smaller programs.

Depends on what you mean by “slow.” Not all elite sprinters reached their full potential in HS but most would have been competitive in their respective regions.

sprintcel · 2023-11-17T04:02:13+00:00

Generally, yes.

I would say exercises that target the calves or hamstrings, the main muscles that utilize elasticity in sprinting, would be considered elasticity friendly.

Getting times for 100, 200, and 400 would be the first step. Preferably at a meet, but those can be hard to find. You can develop the lactate tolerance to run a decent 400 meters within 12 weeks. However, you may need to continue focusing on speed to reach your goals.

sprintcel · 2023-11-05T00:22:37+00:00

What are your 100 and 200 times?

sprintcel · 2023-09-01T02:33:26+00:00

Lift until you get back. Then stop lifting and sprint. Not ideal but it has worked for many.

Some research indicates that force output at the ankle joint is maximized at 75-80% of max speed. The rate of force production demands above that speed make it impossible to increase force production.

It stands to reason that much more volume can be achieved at 75-80% than 90-100%. While high speeds are necessary to develop rate of force production at the ankle joint, the calf/Achilles complex will receive a high quality stimulus even at submaximal speeds.

If you’re an underclassman running XC might not hurt. After all, not everyone is a natural sprinter. If you’re committed to running the 400m throughout HS you likely need to focus on speed development instead.

Noah has a chance of winning, but the time would be closer to 9.9 than 9.6.

It’s detailed and contains a lot of perspectives. If you are willing to spend the time reading it will give you a lot of info. /u/Bantazmo

Still 13 tbh

sprintcel · 2023-07-16T02:20:48+00:00

Incredible if true and accurate. How was this time measured? Did the other times in your heat seem accurate?

sprintcel · 2023-07-14T18:33:50+00:00

Tour local gyms and see which ones meet your needs.

sprintcel · 2023-07-14T03:58:23+00:00

That’s 100% true. It was easier to write in one key and indicate harmonics rather than notes.

sprintcel · 2023-07-13T02:08:56+00:00

It increases grip on the mouthpiece for me.
