I'm a master's guy who hasn't sprinted in a long, long time. I'm about 15 pounds over weight.
The other day, I ran a 14.0 hand timed, 100 meter.
I'm thinking of doing some sprint training and racing on the master's circuit.
Is that time a good beginner time showing some potential, or am I wasting my time with this?
I'm 45, and did a 13.5 a couple times this year. My best ever is 12.8 from 20 years ago, so I haven't lost as much "sprint" percentage as middle/long distance.
Now, who cares what others think or run? Do you want to sprint at some meets? Then go ahead and prepare. I might do the same thing myself next year, and if some 50 year olds can run 12.5, so be it! :)
