It was just a calculation challenge of course run on the track to verify see how close it is and can be useful.

I also got 11.75 (11.748)

I calculated it by working out the time ratio of incline/straight 15.00/13.35 = 1.12359550562
then new incline time divided by 1.1236 = 11.748

nice

Well if you're running ~8.0 60m then you're coming home in ~5.2-5.3 sec for the last 40m (~7.5m/s). So it's probably fitness being the limiting factor atm. You could do a flat out 400m or 800m and see what you get just for fun, although it probably wouldn't tell you anything you don't know. The good news is you can get fit fairly quickly. If you focused on it you'd be sub-13sec in a few weeks I'd bet.

Well, I don't know how useful it'd be. You're assuming that the two are directly proportional, whereas in reality it will give different people different results depending on how hill training targets their weaknesses.

lol @ seifullaah's calculation question.

and yeah, fitness is a major culprit. also, t0ddday gave me a couple observations a few days ago about the video i posted recently. the two main things were:
1. i have too much terminal joint movement. my elbows snap open and closed but my shoulders remain still. arm angle should be more or less consistent and movement should come from the shoulders.
2. my stride length is too short, which comes from being too quad dominant and not letting my hips do the work. extrapolating from the 50m sprints i'd be at ~60 strides over 100m, which is way too many.

by way of cure, he suggested that i add stiff leg bounds, alternating bounds with running shoulder action (i.e., not both arms together but rather treating the bound like an exaggerated run), and doing some stride count stuff like sprinting out to 30m and then making sure i get four touches per 10y after that, even if that means overstriding. so i'll be adding all that jazz to my warm up.

last night:

- tennis x 45 mins

tonight:

WEIGHT: 173
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, left hip
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- jumps x 12-15
best in a while, hit 32.5-33 off one step and consistent around 35 from four steps. still got pwned with the dodgeball, could not get it to go down.

- bench 185 x 5,5,5

- pull up x 5,5,5,5,5

- cable row 120 x 10,10

- cable crunch 90 x 10; 20 lb MB slam x 10,10

- stretch

felt looser than i have in a while in the gym. i think it was the tennis yesterday.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: pecs and lats a little
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, left hip, right knee kind of bad once i started sprinting
MENTAL STATE: okay
 
- warm up

- sprint 30m x fuck my knee
started bothering me on the first rep and did not respond to rest, shaking out, massage, stretching, anything. tried to do a bunch of submax sprints focusing on stepping over and keeping my elbows at 90 degrees but even that was not feeling right.

later

- stretch

 :(

dunno, sometimes it doesn't bother me at all and other times it feels really wrong. the pain isn't ever sharp, it's just like, yep, some ligament(s) or tendon(s) in there is just off. it just feels like stuff is twisted up and the wrong tissues are tight and the wrong ones are loose. that's pure feeling, though, i have no idea what's actually wrong with it. acole suggested maybe something to do with my tib/fib but the pain is more on the front and outside of the knee, next to my kneecap.

knee feels fine, it only bothers me during and immediately after sprinting anyway. sometimes the dull ache is there the next day but sprinting is the only activity that seems to make it flare up. and even then, sometimes it's totally fine and sometimes it's crippling.

my right mid back feels a little spazzy this morning, and i've had a headache since yesterday afternoon.

Is it possible it is sprinting form based then?

yes but i don't know why my form would vary so much from day to day. i've thought about improper glute activation leading to knee collapse but doing activation exercises doesn't seem to make a difference.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting. Maybe you're over extending your stride some days? I know when I ran track my knees always were sore after any drill involving lengthening stride length.  :/ just a guess tho

no, it's not overextension. doesn't feel like that. feels like stuff is tangled or out of alignment.

Have you posted a video for analysis, front, side and back?
