          Without any training, how fast could you run the 100 meters in?

          How fast can you run the 40 yard?

          Talking completely natural, how fast. Don’t give me your trial times.

          Like rolling out of bed in the middle of the summer after a wicked party the night before?

          Could you run under 11flat or under 4.50?

          >Why these two distances? – Because I feel like the 200 or 400 require more training and technique, alot more variables play into longer sprints.

          Is anyone confident enough in their ability to run a race with little to no training?

          Man why not ask for a real race. How Fast can you run a mile with little or no training. Anyone can run 100m or 40 yards. How fast you run that thats just genetics. Now say me a distance guy I know I can go without training for 6 months and still go out and run 5:00 or better. Thats just ability and guts. 100m and 40 yards guts are not included.

          he put it on the sprint board whats your problem?and if the 100 and 40 are so easy how come everyone cant break the wr whenever they want too?just because you run longer doesn’t mean you are any better than a sprinter

          this is why distance people irritate me. if we wanna play a ‘who has the biggest balls?’ game try stepping in the ring.

          Just ran a 6.84 fat 55 with only 2 hours of sleep. Does that count?

          I don’t worry about distance guys. They talk big, but sprinters are stronger overall and if they ran away, we’d still catch them in the first 30m anyway. 😀

          Well i doubt i would be able to finish without pulling something, but if i did 100 would be about 11.5 and 40 about 4.6-4.7 i think. But now im one of those “distance guys” so i should keep my mouth shut;)

          ok new additional question’s –
          <<Fastest kid in the school question>>

          – What was/is your highschool rank in speed>? (not exclusively on your track team)

          Example: 1st/1,000

          – Was anyone #1 before they were a senior?

          – What is/was your college rank on your college team?

          – Who here ever had the fastest 40 time in their school? What was the time?

          Personally, I think running the 40 would is the closest test of natural ability, seeing as it’s the only race we can test accurately in measuring your natural speed. You could run an accurate and good time trained; you could run an accurate and good time untrained.

          On another note, I think that you would be pretty talented if you could run the 100 in under 11.3 without any training. Remember, we’re not talking about what you ran in your time trials. In reality, the time should be pretty far from your race times.

          I want your out-of-shape times.

          Out of shape 6.50 and I know I could run under 11.30. I haven’t run a time in the 11’s since HS. I would guess I would run 10.90 or so out of shape. It would be the final 10-30m at the end that might get me.

          I was either the 1st fastest in HS (only my Senior year) because I was a late bloomer. I was number 1 on my college team. I ran a 40 yard dash in the middle of September, not running a track workout since Nationals and I ran 4.29 electric. I have no clue how I ran that fast. Needless to say I never ran one after that. I thought that one was a good one to end on.

          hmm i would say for the 400 it would be 3 of 4 / 1,000 . i haven’t seen some other guy run.

          Well the closest I have come to just rolling out of bed and running I’ve run 11.72 and 23.75 my usual pr’s are 11.44 and 23.20

          sprinter, under what conditions did you run that 4.29 in?

          in cleats, spikes or shoes?

          what was the surface?

        • Participant
          sprinter on March 9, 2005 at 7:53 am #42804

          Indoors on a track in spikes. What is the difference. I don’t play football so why would have I run in cleats or on a football field? I tested out with the football team and they ran on the track, with spikes, etc so I did too.

          Also what are your marks in shape what do you think you could do out of shape?

          In highschool i ran the 100 in 11.0- a few times. I also ran a 4.48 40 yrd for football testing my junior year out of shape.

          I have yet to run in college track.

          My last real mark timed automatic was at a college football testing (UofNorthernIowa), in a pair of nike tenni-shoes on an astro turf field this last fall. I ran 4.23 & 4.30.

          sprinter on March 9, 2005 at 11:59 pm #42807

          Why would you use blocks? It’s proven to be slower than a 3 point start. How come you haven’t run in college? I’d just like to see what I could run a 40 in when I’m at the end of my track season. I would have to believe faster than what I said above. Especially since I have run 10.30 in the 100m and a 3.49 30m sprint with a 2.72 flying 30.

          it doesn’t matter what you ran the 100 in,

          You still couldn’t beat me in the 40.

          There, I said it. You get no respect.

          Well…I was feelin like a laugh a couple of weeks ago so I tried out for my colleges 4×1 team. I’d been training as an 800 runner all year and had done no speed work yet. Ran a 120m (IE Exchange zone to Exchange zone) in about 13.9 which roughly converts to an 11.58 in the 100. I’d say thats fairly accurate for my untrained (though in shape) 100. Never have run a 40 in my life, so clueless there.

          Not sure what the 2nd set of questions means…
          #2 in schools history out of a grand total of around 40 sprinters in the school’s 8 year history.
          I don’t wanna talk about my college place…I havn’t run a good race yet…ask me again in three weeks.

          coming from someone who ran the 40 in spikes

          i’ve never heard of a football team on any level who runs the 40 in spikes… on a track?

          That’s where I live, (you know, where the Hawkeyes are Preseason #2 in the nation), :yes:

          by the way, congradulations on making it to nationals with that 10.3 right?

          I’m going to.

          You know what sprinter, I appologize for saying condesending things to you here.

          That was foolish.

          You are very talented – running a 10.3 – you get much respect from me.

          I let my ego come out, when I didn’t even bother to find out what you’re really about.

          Sorry for being that way.

          I’m going to start competeing in college next year. For now, I will likely run unattached.

          Good Luck on your season,
          Big ten
