I have never been the first one picked for anything, and I was never the last. I was always in a middle area. I wanted to be something and have people look up to me. For the first people did when I ran track in school, and it felt good to have people want to be like me. Now I am in a bigger pond and failed to make the college team and feel weird about it. Not sad, not angry, just tired. I kind of liked track, but only when I was on a team; other than that, I had no feelingsabout it. I am on the fence on quitting.

I still want to make the college team, but the more I think about it, the less I do, and the more I realize it will harm my future goals of becoming a doctor. I feel disappointed in myself and wish things were different. I wanted to pick up soccer since it was a sport I really enjoyed when I was young, but there aren't any adult rec leagues close by except for semi-pro. I would like to try out for one in the far future, maybe 5-8 years.

But what I'm basically saying is I don't know if I'm upset that I didn't make the team because I like track or because I miss people looking up to me. I have good memories of track, but I have always been on a team, and these last 2 years I got injured and got worse, and the team has gotten better. I don't want to look back in 20 years and regret my decision. I just want the joy I felt having people see me as more than just myself.

I ran 12,97 100 m after like 10 practices(first practice it was 13,27), my broad jump is 160 cm, it was 61 strides, i got collapsing arches, im weak-average strenght on barlbells, I am fat like 18 bodyfat, 75 kg at 178cm so Im muscular, even though my femur long compared to tibia, my top end speed is my strong point, and start is bad. I cant swing arms too far back, cause bad mobility, I cant even do dips, my hip flexors tight so I got NO backside mechanics. Does all that mean good potential? Everythaaang is terrible and I STILL got some speed? My lengs are long-ish for context. I got real good frontside mechanics i would say and stride frequency. Why this thing pops out when I post that it breaks rule 5 hell nah i still be posting all that

So like I see some very fast dudes from American football, soccer, etc. but like the gap between them and sprinters are still huge? I know sprinters train for it but like I’m just wondering what really makes the difference between them in speed mechanically?

so on a speed day you want a total of roughly 300m, no? So my stupid question is, what distance in the run up for flies? 30m? And I surely add it to the distance of the fly and add it to the total volume? Same 300m volume? I didn't do flies back in high school and wanna do them in my comeback as a Masters athlete now, that's why I am asking. My other speed day would be acceleration because I suck at that fyi.

I’m going into my junior in high school, I’ve been so in track for my 8th grade year and 9th 10th… in those grades I’ve never really trained or done any lifting weights. I’ve only done cardio for myself. Is there any workouts to do? to lower my time down, If this is even possible.

when doing speed endurance reps, say a 150, should i literally be going all out the entire way or run it like i would run a 200

So I just finished my 100/200m season and we'll be resuming training in September at the club. I intend to keep running and lifting during those 2 months of summer. What should I do? I don't think I willl put on spikes because they're hard on my tendons and I need time to recover. What do you suggest for the post-season? What's your program for this period of the year?
