NOTE: To others, there actually IS a benefit to knowing what your 10 yard (or meter), times are. One example that comes to mind; knowing what you’re flying final 10 in a long jump runway is will tell you how fast you’re hitting the board and give you an indication of your current ability in that event.
Sure but we are talking about someone holding a watch and trying to measure 10ms. Do you think any of those value have any value? Anyone else remember when at the combine scouts would hand time 40s and have .1s of a second difference. This is worse. Might as well just make up numbers...

If you go back and read my entire post, you’ll see that I recommend getting a timing system.
Sorry, and correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe you might have responded to the wrong post. I never posted about rec./time on this thread. Others, perhaps, yes. But on this one I don't think so. If your reply was sent by mistake, that's ok, no harm, no foul.
Amazing. You hit 27.27 mph in only 10 yards. Usain Bolt only ran 23.72 mph when he set the world record in the 100m. It would have taken Bolt 0.876 to run 10 yards. You can certainly run about 8.20 seconds for the 100m, even faster when we consider that your first 10 yards would be the slowest. I'm predicting sub-8 in Paris next summer. Congratulations.
Time to stop training and work on your Paris victory dance.
This is a typical letsrun hobby jogger distance runner miscalculation , just because he averaged 23.7 mph doesn’t mean that was his top speed. 10m splits show top speed was over 27mph.
3. Realize how unimpressive your speed and athleticism is
4. Realize how little carryover there is from your stuff to real athletic events
5. Realize how much time you wasted
6. Introspect
7. Begin cognitive behavioral therapy
8. Grow as a person
9. Get real hobbies
10. Go for a run, leave the watch at home.
At the end of the day he’s doing a lot of things you distance runners are doing. You’re both not getting paid or being sponsored. You’re both running for fitness or goals, or at least you use to. A real hobby is a subjective thing. I understand the poster most likely has some social impairment, but there’s nothing wrong with him posting his training logs, that’s what the site is for. My only issue , which I keep telling him, is that hand timing a 10 yard , even 40 yard by yourself is useless and inaccurate.

Yes the one thing he does all the time is useless and inaccurate, glad we agree.
Since there was no actual footage other than your watch and then a black screen for the other 3+ minutes, I’m assuming this is a “flying” 10?
If that’s the case, that’s 40.0 feet/second. Which is 27.27 miles per hour. If you’re really that fast, it’s time to sign a shoe contract and some mega endorsement deals and go after those medals!
If that’s a standing start 10 yard, I won’t believe that for a second, (or even 0.75 of a second).
If you’re really serious about timing yourself in 10’s, I recommend investing in a fully-automatic timing system. They do all the work for you and there is no “variance” due to human error with a watch. (Most likely you are closer to 1.0 to 1.15 seconds in your flying 10’s).

You wrote a bunch of reasonable stuff which is a waste of time for this troll. He is not interested in any event in T&F. These are indeed hand timed 10m starts, not flys. He routinely makes bizarre claims such as how adding 3.7 lbs to his dumbbell calf raise PR will improve his vertical by 0.3" etc, etc. No serious reply ever goes anywhere.

Oh. Well that seems odd. Is it just for sh*ts and giggles?
