10 yard splits are as follows:
2.2 1.3 1.2 1.1.
I think the last 10 yards I could have eeked a 1.05 since I leaned 2 yards too early. But it doesn't matter at this point. How do I improve my time so I'm not slower than an untrained person?

Nothing wrong with 5.8. But you can definitely get faster. Run 10 and 20 yard sprints, and do squats. Work on your drive
If you're white it aint bad.
It looks like you're pushing way too hard. If you watch the best sprinters run, they always look extremely relaxed. Keep your form intact. Just because it feels like you're pushing harder, doesn't actually mean you're going faster. When your muscles are tightened, they can't pull or fire as fast as when they're relaxed

This is second thread in recent days asking how slow you are.
You seem to have some mental hangups about this.
You can easily get faster, you just need to do the work.
Looks like a lot of side to side action in your running form. Try to clean that up. Look for higher knee lift. Your top speed is better than your start, so work on plyometrics for more explosive power in the start.
Stop it
if i work on my start exclusively, and that's the only thing that improves, what time would you see?
the whole 40 yd is acceleration, so getting a faster start would improve everything. simply get better at acceleration
should carry over to top end speed pretty well
I'm going to say you are a (29.5 to 30.5) F.A.T. 200m guy at the moment. A lot of guys on here are 29.5 plus 200m athletes.
Are you on a XC team now? If so, stop it before you hurt yourself. If you aren't a member of a XC and T&F program, are you simply trying to be faster than 40-something Tom Brady?
Sprinters suffer worse injuries than distance runners. You do not look smooth at all. I'm wincing hoping nothing will snap or tear watching your video. Distance runners suffer Achilles strains at times; jumpers, sprinters and throwers suffer Achilles ruptures. Be careful.
0.8 in the 3 dot 3 over the second stop point stop point 88 and then go
funny thing here is that i actually ran under 28 on several offical occasions and under 27 (hand timed) twice. I raced a 4:50 miler in the 200 and destroyed him. I think it might be my start that needs work.
Don't want to be a dickhead letsrunner, but beating a 4:50 miler in the 200 doesn't mean sh*t. 4:50 isn't a time that needs any bit of leg speed to complete
Unless you play football a 40 is meaningless. Why run a 40 at all?
Last 40 I ran was my junior year of high school football. a 4.6 hand timed on grass in football shoes,
That’s impossible to say. There are too many factors.
Even Chad Powers can beat you
5.8 is really slow, there are plenty of 300 plus linemen what are faster. Try other distances and don’t waste time trying to be a sprinter.
Work on a few sets of bounds, some broad and vertical jumps a couple times a week, and don’t flail and cross so much during the sprint
