Run sub-11 100m 5'6 155 lbs

Training Advice/Discussion

Hi!

I've always been really fast but I have never practised Track & Field, don't ask me why.

When I was in eight grade I ran a 12' on 100 according to my teacher who timed me.

Now I feel I want to begin training for speed because I think it appears to be fun. On my first try I ran 12.15, timed from when I started sprinting, timed accurately through a slow-motion video.

After a couple of sprinting sessions on my own and buying spike-shoes I am down to 11.65, taken from a slow-motion video.

This all happened during a course of three weeks.

Do you believe I can run a sub-11 with some sprint-conditioning and practising sprint-form?

I've watched alot of guides online so I know what to strive for when I run, at least I think I know.

I am 17 if that matters, I have deadlifted 463 lbs, squatted 375 and benched 254.

Yeah right, no way, I don't believe it for a second.

No, I don't think you can run sub 11, but feel free to prove me wrong.

11.65 "taken from slow motion video" would be about 11.8 FAT if you have a significantly faster than average reaction time, so probably more like 11.9 FAT.

At 17, unless you are not very developed (doubtful because your weights are relatively high), you probably won't have huge improvements in natural speed over the next few years. I think if you work hard and follow a normal progression, you could get to about 11.3 to 11.4 after a few seasons.

Of course, if your running form is terrible, you could get a few tenths improvement there as well and that could push you closer to the 11 flat range after a few seasons.

So even though I haven't been sprinting for a very long time and just began running you dont think I can improve too much?

That's sad to hear, I hope I will be able to prove you wrong.

I think I have problems maintaining top-speed. I've contacted a T&F-club in my area and my first training were a bunch of 40m's sprints.

They were all around the time of 4.8-4.9 HT.

I've also done 23' on the 200m HT.

Yes, and my name is Erik which the channel's stating. I would prefer to stay anonymous on this forum but I can't resist proving you wrong.

Unfortunately that's not 210 kg, but 200kg. But, that was ~a month ago and was relatively light. I only have a 150 kg squat up though, but I do have a 140 kg front-squat up.

If you still choose to doubt, its okay. Just saying that the stats aren't that unbelievable as you are pointing out.

There is people who is born 1995,96 and 97 who lifts way more than me, otherwise I might have competed in strengthlifting.

Have a good day
