My 100m time been the exact same same and I been getting good sleep i don’t know what it is

I am 17 y old and pretty much nailed to gaming chair til recently when i started lifting. Now i want to start sprinting and running because i dont have any stamina, speed and explosiveness at all which affect any other sports i do.

I asked couple of guys who train football and other sports in my school and they say its pretty late to become faster than people who trained all their lifes sports and i didnt run in years of puberty.

I find it stupid because they are not training HIIT or doing specifically cardio just running after ball.

I just want to know is this bullshit and should i even try? How possible is it to smoke them in 2-3 months, i would run til death every week for that goal. Thanks.

currently using adidas sprintstars but now theyve begun to get too tight i run the 100 and 200 and i can spend around £100 maximum but have been debating just getting another pair of sprintstars

Guys what is the correct way to run? Side to side during drive phase or straight? Open palms or closed or doesn't matter? How far back does the elbow go? How far up does the hand go? What is the correct way to counter fatigue in the last 30m?

Hi fellow sprinters, I’ve planned on going on a european sprinting tour to compete and to visit around end of may to mid june. I was wondering which countries are accessible as far competitions, air bnbs, facilities, etc? I’m canadian so I speak both french + english! Thanks :)

In our (www.ascenttrackclinics.com) December Office Hours session (which, side note, is always free!) with Harvard University Women's Associate Head Coach Kebba Tolbert, a high school coach asked "How can we tell what's credible and what's not when it comes to people giving coaching advice online?" We thought this was timely given some of the posts here this week that have considered this topic. We think these should be some points of consideration:

1) Check the author's/instructor's background and credentials. Look for people who have direct experience in track and field/XC coaching, especially at the high school, collegiate, or elite levels. Are they recognized in the track and field community? Do they have a record of success with athletes over the years, or are they talking about personal success or one athlete that they've coached?

2) What is the angle? While the first point of consideration will help with this, we also want to be careful to see why/how this advice is being given. Is someone selling a certain product, like a supplement or contraption? Is this advice being given as part of an educational course/symposium/workshop by coaches who have great reputations, like something offered by USTFCCCA, Altis, or, yes Ascent Track (shameless promotion there we know)?

3) Beware of ridiculous claims. Coaching track and field is not a one-size-fits-all game, and there are many pathways to success. Be careful of claims like "I took this athlete from 11.xx to 10.xx using this one new trick!" There are heuristics and there are fads, and sometimes the tried and true isn't always sexy and flashy, but is absolutely proven (an example of this would be when people try to knock barbell training and olympic lifts and their variations, because they are selling kettlebells-- and that's not a knock on kettlebells, it's just that it's not a substitute for barbell training); there simply isn't a magic pill or a "try this one trick" when it comes to the continued improvement of a track and field athlete. If someone is making a claim, they should be able to back it up with data and references.

What are your thoughts? We are sure that there will be some good comments regarding this topic.

Well I dont have much to say but my track season starts in 6-7 weeks. After the first practice week, we have a meet the following week. What should I do to get faster by the season start and first meet. Also Ive been training for like 4 months in the offseason.

I feel like I find a new one every week, and every single time I find one I love posting it on here to inform anyone on here to please avoid 99% of instagram sprint coaches PLEASE

Whenever I try running with my thigh 90 degrees i seem to run slower than when i just run without thinking which people have said is incorrect form, I've only trained till 50 meters so is it because on bad at acceleration or something else?

I seen somewhere that when lifting to get faster you want to move the weight as fast as possible but when I try that I fell very unstable and it gives me bad form so should I focus of lifting weight fast or do them slower but control the weight

I started the season at 180 pounds at roughly 511.5, running 3.01 in the 30m fly. I was pretty low body fat, but I wanted to get leaner. so am now eating around 2000-2500 cals a day and dropped to 170 pounds. Despite being leaner than ever, I am chronically fatigued and my 30m fly is now a 3.16. Is my diet to blame? I am a college athlete, and need to get faster.

Is it better to do wickets before or after a sprint session?

I've been struggling with Achilles issues for months now, I can't train and it feels like I can't do anything. I do rehab but it feels like forever, even a little acceleration has my tendons acting up.

what do you guys recommend? how long did it take for you guys to heal from your injuries?

what do you recommend to fix it
