Seems decent. Just around a second slower than Bolt.

Lmao i know. 10.6 is pretty good without training id imagine, I see athletes on telly where the person who comes last is usually around 10.2

9.58

You are one of the best young sprinters in the country. In fact, you would be placed 7th if you had competed in the England Athletics U20 final this year. You would have won the BUCS championship. And you run a qualifying time for the U23 European Athletics championships.

Despite no specific training or coaching.

Which makes me highly sceptical.

Exactly what Sulf said. I highly doubt you randomly ran 10.6 off the bat. Was it electronically timed? Or did your grandma with the reaction speed of a dodo time you based on the wall clock?

Trolling aside, that's a good time mate, especially as you haven't done much sprinting practice. You certainly have potential if you work on your mobility and cardio, not surprised at all with that time considering how much you squat and your overall build.

His time is obviously very impressive but keep in mind he has an athletic background and has been lifting seriously for sometime (proper athletic lifting not this fluff and pump bs). I'm honestly not that surprised. Keep in mind individuals who are very strong, especially relative to their bodyweight, with decent endurance and cardio capacity make for the best athletes

I did around 13 seconds about 2 years ago. Might seem slow but idk I'm proud of it, definitely much faster than the average person

Did you run with that foot strain? A legit 10s 100m, as in properly timed and measured by someone else, I'd hazard to say, is in the top 0.1% tier. If you have the genetics to do that then my hat is off to you buddy :wink:

Yet he claims to run a time that is comparable to people who haven't just been lifting for sometime, but will have been following a strength and conditioning program specific for sprinting, which differs from just knocking out heavy squats and deadlifts. And that is in addition to the coaching. Innate or trained generic athletic ability will likely not make you one of the best in your age group in the country from the get go, you need to actually practice the discipline.

If can run the time he claims, he needs to get along to his local or university athletics club. He'll get one-on-one coaching from the start, as he is the rare gem that coaches are looking out for. However, I've been involved in running for long enough to see plenty of lads make such claims yet when they are invited along they either don't turn up or fall short of their own claims. It makes me sceptical, but I love to be proved wrong. It's comparable to the bench press. The number of people able to bench 140 kg is far far higher on the internet than in real life.

At least get an actual electronically recorded time, see where you truly are at. Then you decide whether you want to pursue it from there.

Pretty old thread, but hey, no one closed it so far!

13 seconds is average, everything between 11 and 12 seconds is good, 10 seconds is amazing and if you are under 10 seconds, you are Usain Bolt in persona!
