3.75 in the 35 yard dash at 6'0 and 215. Video. Handtimed.

Here's the video on youtube. Guess the instagram link doesn't show up.

that was at least 4.5 seconds.

matt london is most dedicated and most entertaining of all the LRC trolls by far.

i got 4.75s

I honestly tried this with the stopwatch app on my iphone...4.78, 4.7, 4.53, 4.53 ... just on the first rep. I waited until his left leg goes into motion, the stop is harder but regardless, it's not a seconds worth of difference.

Matt, you're hand timing is way off.

I watched your 400m video. Your stride looks very good. Do you think you're in the same overall shape as 2013?

Having just watched your 35 video, I must say that your stride is different now.

I got 4.68.

Plus, you know hand timing isn't accurate to the hundredth.

And 10 seconds of action for a full 4:22 video? Yikes.

Are the 35-yard and 20-yard dashes common events? First time I've ever heard of such a thing.

You guys are all lining up to time him off his post, but I ASKED people to time my run in a post and I got no responses. I would explain this as people like to watch car crashes, but frankly -as I posted in my thread- if I'm honest with myself I'm really just a Matt London Lite and my own kind of dumpster fire. And I know this to be true because....I'm sitting here posting in this thread and complaining that you guys are timing him when no one obliged me on mine.

Now. To be fair, my posts are LABORIOUS. Perhaps analogous to Matt London and his copious reposts, but denser and more boring...so no wonder I don't remotely get the response he does. Reading my bologna is probably like reading a War & Peace version of Matt London... But still. Come on; at least I'm less insane about it all...but then again that removes some of the "dumpster fire" entertainment value, too. So, I guess I get it.

To Matt, I AGAIN say: my challenge still stands.

For disclosure, in my first warmup acceleration a few days ago, I actually ran it on the turf (with regular running shoes) and clocked myself (hand watch - self timing) on the 10 yard segments up to 40 yards. With the way I time myself (effort on being extraneously accurate) I had myself at 4.30 through 30 yards and 5.52 through 40 yards. Presumably, that would likely give me a 4.9xish 35 yard time. I did a couple more runs on the track up to 40 METERS, where I base all my marks on 10 METER segments with the sole exception of marking out the 40 yard point. My last run where I put a little bit more effort into the run (still with normal shoes, I won't be using spikes until maybe the turn of the calendar) I self-timed it at 5.37 through 40 meters and 4.96 through 40 yards. One could guesstimate and say in that run I probably ran around a 4.4x-ish 35 yarder there.

We time ourselves COMPLETELY different, Matt. But if you took me up on my challenge, then we could see which one is more accurate/honest...assuming we could agree on how to record our 40 yarder "official" race off. Which we probably wouldn't....but I digress.
