53.78 in 400 meters at 6'0 and 210 LBS!! Best time since 1999! And PR at this heavy of a weight.

track400, just ignore that idiot. He's probably never broken a minute.

50 is pretty fast, but not unbelievable. For you, anonymous forum tool, it is unbelievable until you post a video. Forget the OP and what you think of him. You cannot run a 50 second 400.

Who cares what I have done?

for a 210 lbs person 50 is slow anyway. 53 is hobby jogger.

Your post is missing key elements,, first one is you took walkers heaviest weight that he ever weighed in football and tried to say that he was "competing" at that exact weight in track and field in 1981 at georgia where he was only 19 years old..

NOt only does that make me lmao.. but you tried to distort things and make it seem like he was a full 225lbs at georgia when he ran 10.23 around 1981..

The heaviest anywhere that he was listed in the nfl was 225lbs. with some sites even listing him at only 220 lbs..

Therefore to say that he was at his highest weight at the age of 19 when he ran 10.23 after the months and months and months of competing to train for the 100 which we all know makes a person lose weight... just makes me laugh even harder..

Also not to mention the fact that he isnt 6'0 hes an inch taller.. and no where in your statements did you even list a 400 meter dash time... and he was never a professional 400 meter dash runner.. which makes even a bigger difference because of a number of other factors..

For instance if i were to only train for the 100 and 200, then my workouts would consist of 35 yard dashes,, strength shoes.. heavy powerlifting, and 100s,, nowhere in my workouts would i even go above a 200 meter dash to train. Because why should i? Im training for speed if im doing that..

Thus making me stay at a higher bodyweight than 210, but i still would be only 215 or so.. not 225..... thats the difference..

Now training for the 400 involves running 200 repeats and other stuff which makes a person lose weight.. Theres no way that i could start the year at my heaviest weight of 230lbs and then continue to do my extremely hard 4 by 200 workouts and expect myself to stay at 230lbs...

I started the year at 225 to 230 and went to 210lbs just so i could compete at the 400. The natural progression of the workouts allowed me to lose weight. .. and now im running out of warm weather days and i dont even compete year round.. I do this for fun training myself in the summer like 5 months out of the year... the rest of the year im working out and powerlifting.. which is 7 months.. Therefore for the first time since 1999 im training year round for track and watch me run 48.9 next summer in october.. im going to say october 21st will be the day that i run 48.93 and thats just to start.. And on a side note im going to go pose more in the mirror and try to figure out why my muscle fibers are so dense all naturally , then im going to go eat more soy to get even stronger, then im going to go do like 3 track workouts later, with a dash of dumbell curls on the side, should be fun..

In addition to that.. let me know how many hours you spend on the computer trying to find a sprinter that is 6'0 or 6'1 and weighing over 210lbs that runs the 400 meter dash...

Actually let me know how many months you spend on the computer trying to find a person that is over 210lbs that ran the 400 meter dash... hurry try to find someone...

Let me know how many people you find... LMAO!

And the whole point of this thread is that 53.78 is a good time but its even a BETTER TIME when someone is only

6'0 TALL AND 210 LBS OF SOLID MUCLE! LMAO......AND ON 5MONTHS OF ACTUAL TRACK TRAINING OUT OF THE YEAR!

You act like i never ran faster than 53 seconds... LMAO...

Let me tell you something..I have ran faster than 53 seconds..

Did you miss that part?

Did you read the little part where it says that this is my fastest time since 1999? What do you think that means?

That means i ran faster than 53 seconds in 1999.. Way faster...

THATS THE WHOLE POINT!

Not to mention the fact that there is a pic of walker at georgia compared to a pic of walker in the nfl and theres a huge difference.. he only looks like 190 in the georgia pic..

and then in the nfl pic he looks 220-225

Also add in the fact that at given point of the year an athlete can gain or lose weight...

Looks to me like the georgia pic was taken right after track season

How much faster?

Wait, what? The fact that you ran faster than 53 in 1999 is "the whole point"? Why didn't you just say that from the get go?

"Hey everybody. Back in 1999 I ran the 400m dash faster than 53 seconds. Way faster."

And then we would have been like, "Cool dude." And that would have been that.

On a serious note I hope this guy is just a troll. Either he is a troll or he has a highly developed alter-ego that he channels when training. If he was concerned about being really good he would race against other athletes, but 400mrunner doesn't. I am sure if we saw this guy on the street in normal clothes we wouldn't have the perception we have of him on this board.

I think to be "good" at a sport or at least reach a higher potential you need to be a little loose in the head. All of what he has written could be justified as a positive self-talk or a complex private logic.

Honestly I would rather here this guy talking like this before a race I was in. It sure would get me pumped to beat his egotistical a** (which is a positive). It would also be better than hearing "my shins hurt" "I am gonna run soo slow today"

I applaud 400mrunner1;

He is either joking around or clinically retarded.

university girls run WAY faster than 53, obviously this guy isn't seriously.

When he was a "400m" weight before 1999 he ran 52 so still super slow.

This is his nemesis. He runs a 10k in 56 minutes but is 283 lbs so next year he will run it in 34 minutes and then in 2016 he will be in the olympics!

Since he isn't replying right now I am taking comfort in the fact that he likely has a day job

Next Summer, in October.

Possibly. But based on what I've read on here, and based on his Youtube videos, I'm guessing he spends a large portion of his work day talking to his co-workers about his 400m training.

I'm also guessing he has almost no social life. If he does have a day job, he must spend every other waking hour training, time trialing, making/uploading Youtube videos, creating lengthy descriptions of those videos, and posting lengthy explanations of his training on various internet forums.

And if he's trolling, it's somehow even more pitiful because it appears as though he's spending a great deal of time doing so. I mean, it's funny and all. But I'm guessing the guy isn't getting a lot of tail.

Does anyone know who this is?

There are some clues on his track videos like a big white dome next to the track etc.

If you narrowed down the track you could probably email a coach or track club and see if they know him and find his name...

Bulls*t,This is a Hollywood CGI if I ever saw one.

Someone obviously thinks they know me, claiming that i only ran 52 in 1999...lmao

Stop acting like you know me because you dont..

I ran much faster than 52 in 1999...

ANd if im claiming that ill be running 48.9 next october at around 205 then take a wild guess what my best time was at 182lbs.. in 1999 LMAO

I have no good reason to doubt that you ran faster than 48.9 in 1999. After all, you seem to be pretty hardcore about offering up video evidence of your achievements. And based on your more recent results, it's not outlandish to think you could have run well under 50 in your younger, lighter days.

But I honestly don't think you'll run 48 next October. I think you're underestimating the age-effect on raw speed.

I ran 48 in college, and I believe that time came around 2000-2001. But no way could I do that now. Not even close. I attempted to get back in 400m shape about 3 years ago, but I was only able to get in 53-54 shape. Granted, you seem to be very dedicated. So I think you could get closer than I did. But still, if I was a betting man, I'd say you top out around 50-51.
