My progression looks like this:
HS Soph: 11.8fat (I don’t remember the exact time, I think 11.81fat, but it’s been almost a decade at this point), 23.9h. I mostly ran 11.6-12.0h in dual meets.
HS Jr: Ran 11.49fat. Only ran one race. Lived abroad for the entire winter/spring/early summer. Part of the log is actually on this site. Trained a LOT and increased my strength a lot for the first time.
HS Sr: 11.18 -1.8w. Medial sesamoid fracture and avascular necrosis in fall caused me to miss SR year football and in a boot until December. Still made quite the progress, made my state meet, placed in numerous invitationals. Times weren’t great, but I lived in Pittsburgh, so atrocious weather is the standard.
C Fr: 11.23 — Ran for college team and was injured most of the season with severe ITBS. Ran dozens of races, all with similar crap results. This is the only year I competed without a PB.
C Soph: 6.97 60m, 11.76w/10.98 100m. Ran the 60m once, 100m twice because of limited access to meets and poor midwest weather. Trained on my own.
C Jr: Freak injury. Blew out plantar fascia from running on bad surface. Don’t do that.
C Sr: 6.34 55m, 6.88 60m, 10.67 100m
G 1: 6.85 60m, 10.64 100m
G 2: 6.80 60m, 10.55 100m
G 3: 6.31 55m, 6.76 60m, ?? 100m
Strength looks like this (I rarely ever max outside of bench and forget a lot of this):
1: Weakling overall. I remember being happy that I bp’d 135 for a solid 5 a few times and powercleaned 185×1 with absolutely atrocious technique after LOTS of training.
2: BP 225, DL 405
3: Didn’t max / didn’t lift super regularly (out of country
4 (HS sr): BP 265×2, DL 485, Parallel squat ~365
5: PC 255, didn’t bench or squat (college coach)
6: PC 275, BP 295, Parallel BS 3x4x365
7: BP 315, TDL 4x5x405
8: BP 355, PC 12x3x245, Reverse Lunges 2×10+10 225
9: TDL 405×20
10: 4x4x405 ATG BS, BP 355
11: PC 315, every lift higher
Until my senior year of college, I didn’t run many races because I was a broke college student and bought a car my junior year (year I was hurt). Now, I have things that take up even more time than school, so I try to choose my competitions carefully and when available. I turned 25 after my indoor season this year.
I was near my adult height and weight since I was a HS soph, mostly changing composition. Just over 5’8″ 165lbs HS soph to now 5’10” 177lbs. Difference in the composition of that weight is astronomical obviously.
I pm’d Derrick since he feels the need to attack somebody for actually enjoying competing in the sport and progressing. Hopefully, I’ll get a response.
