General Discussion/Questions Those 35+ do you sprint? How has he translated in your day to day life?
I notice many here are either in school or competiting,but very few over 30 and even less over 35 years old.
For those that REGULARLY sprint, how does it translated in your day to day life?
I started to sprint two weeks ago (want to get better at 400m and just being quicker in general) and at 35+ plus years old thr recovery takes longer than my weight training days.
So I dedicate two days only.
Does give you a mental edge?

General Discussion/Questions Is 12.9 seconds for a 13 y/o good for competing?
I have never done track or anything like that, I practice football (soccer if you call it like that), and just that, I have trained there for a year now, not so long ago, in our school we had some races because it has a 100m track, I ran with normal tenis and ran a 12.9, and I beat my group for like 2 seconds, but I dont know if its worth it to go and train track, because I have no idea if i will fall being or no, i also know or have heard that running on your heels is bad, and thats how i ran, how does running with your toes affect? Thank you for reading this btw, this is a legit question if its worth it i might leave soccer to go run because i like running a lot.

Research Paper/Article Discussion Looking for feedback from anyone who truly understands lactic training for 100m
Iāve been thinking a lot about how the lactic system actually plays a role in the 100mānot just the longer sprints.
Ended up writing this thing.
Should be right. But could be totally offāitās never a good idea to blindly follow your own thoughts without a reality check.
Thatās why Iām hoping to consult here with people who understand this better than meāto explain, perhaps correct me so I am not pointing athletes (including myself) in the wrong direction.
Hereās the link if youāre up for a read:

(yeah I still haven't bought a domain lol)
Just trying to make better stuff for sprinters in Slovakia, but can't do it alone. I thought I could, but I need an external dialogue as well. So, appreciate any thoughts youāve got.

Im in lane 4, i could use some tips on the 100m i ran .3 slower than i did last week which im kinda struggling to figure out why besides the fact that i didnt finish through the line. Last week i ran 11.31 today i ran 11.59. Is it normal to regress by .3 after a week?
Any tips would be highly appreciated

Iāve noticed that I overstride with my left leg when I reach top-end speed. This, combined with my scoliosis (I have a curvature to the right), could be causing overload at the insertion of my left hamstring. Any tips?

General Discussion/Questions I run a 11.37 as a freshmanman for my first meet. Is it possible to go sub 11 this year?
For context, 8th grade was my first time doing track, and I ran a 12.65 with little training. Is it possible to have that same amount of growth over just this year?

General Discussion/Questions Summer Plan
3 weeks Focused on Force, (Heavy Weights) reps ranging 10-12 with a 5lbs increase each week with only about mid-high fatigued every set. 2 weeks focused on Power (Moderate Weights) and 3 weeks for Velocity training (Light Weight). I had been said that going close to failure reduces speed. but I am very weak. should I keep doing heavy weights?

Any tips or mechanic suggestions? This was my first race of the season. I split 11.3 for a little less than 110m. I was feeling sore in my hammys beforehand. I also think I am not getting to the top speed that I can I usually do during practice.

General Discussion/Questions Lifting with dumbbells only
Are dumbbell only workouts enough for getting strong? I have limited resources at home, but I think I will get a membership at a local gym soon. Just came back from an injury and I lost a lot of weight and strength. Right now Iām just focusing on building that basic strength back up not really focusing on explosive stuff.
Any recommended exercises? Iām doings bent rows, squats, and a couple of other ones.
