It doesn't look like your training is setup to run fast times in the 100m. I think with a few races your 400m PB would drop a bunch right now though.

Interesting. I'm guessing he's in pretty heavy training right now based on time of year.

It is very common for hurdlers to practice lower heights to get used to the rhythm/timing/feeling of going faster. My hurdlers are on low hurdles (or spaced closer) at least half the time.

I think...

Janic you rounded 0.248/stride to 0.24 before multiplying by 49. Without the rounding, you get 12.15 (or a quarter of a second savings).

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a 12.4 girl is about 50 steps. If we assume the stride lengthens for good reasons (so her frequency doesn't change), that's good for a 2% savings, so about...

Gay's performance was incredible. If I had to bet right now, I'd lean towards him for Moscow over the injured Jamaicans or Gatlin/Dix.

Ang has great info, and makes a good point about get a note or just say the doctor says then get a note if they call you on it. I'm a teacher and I've had a PE teacher ignore my request for...

I would recommend that she take at least 1 week off, then ease back into things. When are your important meets this year? She can do some bike workouts while she stays off it, though I've found that...

Step-over means to have the foot of your trail leg "step over" something that might be under it. The foot of the trail leg should come through around the height of the support knee. Step-over and...

I actually thought your trail leg was fine, it's your trail arm that I think is causing you problems. Your trail arm seems to hover right next to your hips, when it should be going much further back...

Is there a stadium surrounding the track? I've never been nor seen it.

They've been bad, but this really takes it:

It sure doesn't. :)

I like having my athletes accel pretty much all out (if they are capable of doing this without tensing up), but around 30m stop the accel and hold their current speed until...

Due to the high forces required to change the direction of arms (and legs), they will open past 90 at the back, and close under 90 in the front for pretty much every runner out there. Doing drills at...

Yup. Sort of like your 21.5 vs. 21.7 event, I've seen officials at a small local meet simply make up times because the times for 1-2-3-4 didn't match the finishing order in a close 100m...

Nice openers!
Manual start + finish, or auto-start + manual finish?

I paid about $60 Canadian for mine. Ebay might have stuff too, but looks like your're good. :)

Not sure if this is the functionality you need, but I use a timex ironman triathlon WR 100. I can check on split times while it is still running, save individual sessions up to 100 total splits. It...

I believe your feet may be too far from the line, but without blocks I can't tell for sure as your angles change without blocks.

The video was super shaky, but it looked to me like you need to...

I wouldn't consider 27 to be older.

How old? Those don't look like numbers for an 'older athlete'.

Thanks. Mostly I was wondering if it was a full (-ish) recovery.

How much rest between 150s?

My guess would be after a track session for scheduling reasons. If they schedule it on a day by itself, it increases the delay until speed and SE can be done by a day.

Jesus. So the coach that develops the national champ isn't good enough... *shakes head*
