what i actually read was that someone who can run fast can also jump high and vice versa. Don't know where.

OK, so there is some correlation, but not directly proportional.

Cause i remember touching the bottom of the backboard but after speed training i can't seem to touch it anymore.

Has your speed training been successful at giving you measurable improvements to your speed?   How much time have you taken off your 60m, your 100m and your 200m?

I have seen improvements i got 3.99s in 36m. But i don't like to time myself during my flying sprints. So don't know if i have made any measurable improvements, i guess i have.

will probably measure it before i start hypertrophy. Never measured the 200m.

Seifullaah, I've never understood why you do these weird distances with flying starts. Why don't you just reliably time yourself over 30m/60m/100m from a crouch start? It's hard to measure progress when you aren't reliably keeping track of your abilities.

Flying Sprints 30m is a training where you accelerate until you reach top speed then you try maintain it for 30m.
which is 72m in total.

I timed myself quite a while back for 60m which took me 8.48s

I have no good way of reliably timing myself as i train by myself and holding the stopwatch while running ruins the sprint mechanics.

how do you suggest i keep track of my abilities.

Thanks

I know what a flying sprint is. What I'm saying is that I don't think it's a very consistent way to measure progress. I don't want to hijack adarq's journal anymore but all I can say is you need a progress indicator that you can measure reliably. If you have a video camera it's easy, just film your runs and count frames later.

Again sorry for the hijack but it really is a shame to not make progress.  First off, holding a small stopwatch does not necessarily ruin sprint mechanics.  Second, your times don't make sense.  You claim 3.99 for 36 meters (about 40 yards).  That's world-class amazing speed (Actually better than world class).  You also report 8.48 seconds for 60m... That's incredibly slow.  Those times don't add up.

Your best bet is to enter a track meet.  If that's not possible you can time yourself for multiple repeats of 100m and 200m which has to be your bread and butter if you actually want to be a sprinter.  You must have some friend or family member or someone who can time you over 60 meters once a month or so.  Just have them hit start on your first movement and stop when your foot touches down past the line.  This method will result in slightly faster than realistic times but will be somewhat consistent.  Since you are looking to take about 1.5 seconds off your 60m time (and presumably a lot more off your 100 and 200 time) if you want to be competitive at a low level... This method will actually be fine.  If you ever want to progress get to the track and time yourself over 60m, 100m and 200m.  Having these baseline numbers will be invaluable to you and those that wish to give you advice on your training.  A 15sec 100m runner needs far different advice than 1 10sec 100m runner... right now you tend to follow the 10s advice... 

sorry adarq for this:

what i mean by the holding stop watch ruins mechanics is that instead of focusing on running i also have to think about starting and stopping the stop watch and since im right handed, i have that on the floor and i have to use my left hand, which is hard.
but that is the only way i know. but i have stopped as the hypertrophy phase is coming.

the 8.48s was timed some time ago and the 3.99 was measured recently, but it was measured by a kid, so that may not be a reliable reading.

Luckily enough i will be joining a local track near the uni im going to.

you're right about following the 10s advice a bad habit of trying to learn everything up to professional level.

I will be getting my 100m timed every week, i will try so i can measure progress every week at the track. i will get back to you my current times and then will see how i progress.

thanks again for the help and sorry again adarq for the hijacking.
 

sorry adarq last time, unless they reply then i have to .... erm .. reply back.

So T0DDDAy
i contacted the local track and they have training tuesday and thursdays 6:30 pm to 7:00 pm

my routine is the following:

day 1 & 3: upper body
day 2 & 4: lower body
day 7: speed work

any way i can combine the training meets with my hypertrophy workout so i don't over train.

thanks

hit lower after sprint training? that's what i would do..

pC

I DONT WANT MY ELECTED OFFICIALS RECEIVING THEIR FOREIGN/DOMESTIC POLICY ADVICE FROM FAIRY TALES & IMAGINARY VOICES. THANKS.

ps: today i skwat.

iSkwat.
