That's not a fair statement. You're not supposed to run the first 40m as fast as you can in a 100m race.
Jeesus are you for real?
You guys have to stop being so hard. Give the kid the information he desires. Hell, I only ran 4.5 on a dirt track at Mt. Carmel High School. First time.15 years old.
bro..this is a very fast time for 40m...even usain bolt takes around 4.64 sec. to complete his first 40m. so if you are running on track with spikes and using starting blocks you can even do better. it looks like you got nice speed but if you can maintain that speed for next 60m then you can surely go upto olympics.. try timing your 100m also. if you are taking around 11 sec then try to focus more on speed endurance..
If this is a troll, then it is a troll. However, if it is not...
Man you guys. Come on. The kid doesn't know anything about running. And is asking for an advice. Doesn't know anything about track or distance training... Or anything as a matter of fact. It was a hand held timer, not the most accurate thing on the planet.
So in answer to your question: As a previous person stated, do track. You will find out pretty quickly weather you are good or not. You have nothing to lose. (Unless you do soccer, then still do track, gets you in shape for next year :D)
