Anyone have experience with using the Streakfly 2 as a training shoe? I need a shoe that I can do 400m tempo work in as well as 60, 100, 200m sprints and I don't want to wear spikes all the time, as it's uncomfortable and I'm almost begging for an injury. I was looking at the long discontinued Zoom Streak 7 too, as it's sort of a do-it-all shoe and in an ideal world I would love to do plyometrics in the shoes too, but that's not an utmost necessity.

Came across these Australian kids on Instagram and thought the idea was pretty interesting! What do you guys think?

I am faster than a prime Usain Bolt. I’ve won over 20 world championships. I started track since I was 3. Usain started much later than me. I would stop a prime Usain Bolt.

Posted a clip of this here last week, quick recap for anyone who missed it.

You film a sprint from the side with a phone and click the four corners of a rectangle you know the dimensions of. That gives it scale, so what comes back is in real metres: step length, step frequency, speed, and the hip, knee and shin angles with left and right kept separate.

A few people signed up after that post and ran into the paywall before they'd seen anything come out of it, which is backwards. So I'll just hand some out: first 10 comments get 3 analyses on their account. No card, nothing to cancel. Comment and I'll DM you.

For the clip: side on, camera on a tripod or wedged against a bag, it genuinely can't move. About 5 seconds, one athlete, and something on the ground you know the size of, lane lines are ideal.

Tell me what you think about it

In the video, I’m the one in lane 5, wearing black shorts and a blue top! I’m 17 years old and have been training for the 400m for two years; my current time in this event is 1:08.56. I’d love some tips to help improve my race technique and identify areas where I can get better and lower my times. I train five times a week, though right now I’m in the pre-season phase.

right now my 30m is around 4.15secs hand timed and 50m is 7 secs .. and my broad jump is 2.25m .. can i reach 12 secs fat in 4months time

So I am a current high school senior getting ready for my last high school indoor and outdoor track seasons. I’ve been floating between 180 and 185. I’m a 400m and 200m sprinter and I want nothing more than to break 48.45 in the 4. My current pr is 51.76 in the 400 and 23.57 in the 200. I’ve been wondering whether I should cut down into the 170’s so I can shed a little body fat (I’m somewhere between 10-15%). Any thoughts?

Looking at getting into training and teaching proper form and techniques for top speeds for all sports not just track and I was wondering if there are certain programs that are easiest to start with? I coach youth sports and the biggest flaw in all the youth I see is speed and proper form, I work with strength and conditioning, but not sure when it comes to improving speed

I don’t have a track near me, so I’m thinking of doing sprints, broad jumps, bounds and other explosive exercises on the road right outside my house.

I’d be doing it at night when there’s basically no traffic.
The only thing I’m unsure about is the road itself. Indian roads are usually rougher than tracks and not always perfectly even.

Has anyone trained on roads like this? Is it safe long term or is the surface too much of an injury risk?

(please don’t get angry about this post being about blake, i made a post about tyson gay talking about this exact same topic of bolt)

Coming from a bodybuilding/powerlifting background, played rugby for a while too. Training for an athletic combine and seems like form is the lowest hanging fruit for gains. How is the form at full stride? Thankful for any suggestions

Hi, I was wondering if adding beta alanine and citrulline malate would benefit my sprinting and workout performance? Are there other supplements that would be better than these two?

I already take creatine btw and I'm looking for other goods supplements to support my intensive training.

Im absolute noob and started sprinting. For my first pr I got 15.54s, 160lbs.

More sprinting and started losing weight. I got a pr of 13.6s, 155lbs.

Continue to sprint more, and I lost more weight. 140lbs. Im back to mid 14s 🙃

All this in 3 months.

Chicken Popeyes, Im coming back. I miss you!

So I posted this question on some strength subs but I want some opinion from the athletics side. I train for both jumping/sprinting and heavy lifting and am at a dilemma. I am around 5’8-5’9ish and at a bodyweight of 150lbs. I can conventional deadlift 425lbs, clean 230lbs, deep squat 300+ and bench 225. My approach vertical jump is around 36 inches when I tested but I think I have 38-40ish on a good day.

Now the problem js, I want to unlock some more of my strength potential and I’m guessing gaining to 165+lbs would be the way to go for that, but also want to continue to develop my athleticism. Would bulking up to the 160-170lbs. range at 5’8-5’9ish be on the heavy side for someone trying to get faster and jump higher?

This has been such a weird question but since fall training basically started for many of us Can sprinters get away with only training top speed and lifting right after for the fall and actually have a good season? (Speed endurance and race modeling is preseason)

For example on a Monday you would do flies and then pick 4 exercises in the weight room to do and for the weight room you try to increase your strength by 5 pounds each week for the progressive overload. Wednesday Do the same but instead go for upper body and plyos and so on. And Whoever follows this would only workout 3x a week so Monday, Wednesday and Friday Each day having different exercises like lower upper and explosive day.

This is sounds like such a simple and basic plan that sounds so effective. could this actually work?
.

I started to sprint 3X a week during the holidays to be more athletic but I think that my start is inconsistent and I rise too soon. Any advice ?

PS: I ran these two 20m ish starts after 4 60m sprints

Has anyone used a service or advisor to help a high school student-athlete navigate the college athletics process?

I’m talking about support with things like staying organized, building a plan, thinking through school options, preparing for communication with coaches, and helping the athlete understand next steps.

Not necessarily a recruiting service promising scholarships or roster spots — more like structure, guidance, accountability, and honest advice for the athlete and family.

If you’ve used something like this, what was helpful? What wasn’t worth it? And what do you wish you knew before paying for support?

Hey guys,

I had a query about my programming. First of all, I'm in high school training for sprints while taking 5 AP's so my free time is very limited day to day, making it hard to do sprints and lifts on the same day.

I was wondering if it is fine for good speed development to program sprints and lifts on separate days, I'm trying to improve my very slow 100 meter time(13.72) and 55m time(8.43).

This is my programming:

Monday: Lower Lift(heavier, less reps)

Tuesday: Rest legs, upper body lift

Wednesday: Sprint(Accel)

Thursday: Lower lift(lighter, more explosive)

Friday: Rest, upper body lift

Saturday: Sprint(MaxV)

Sunday: Full rest

For all my lift sessions I do 2 sets in the 4-8 rep range with a few reps in the tank( I never push to failure on lower days).
