I ran a sprint workout with a detrained 10.9 guy: humble pie was hard to swallow

I run with a former 400/800 Div I guy. He is older and just does 5k-1/2 marathon for fun, but trains pretty hard. I am about 6 min faster over 13.1. On a flat out 400, it looks like I am doing my cool down compared to the other guy. And he has not specifically trained for his old event in about 15 years.

Sorry, I don't believe it.

No sprinter, current or former, vomits at all, let alone after doing what you described, unless they have food poisoning or stomach flu.

Sorry bro, but I call b.s.

Ya it is always funny hearing you longer distance runners saying that you are a speed guy when you run a 55+ 400m. You got no idea what you are talking about.

In that case, I guess he made me look that bad with food poisoning or the flu.

I have never said I was a speed guy. In fact, I probably have one of the worst top end speed capacities of anybody on here who trains seriously.

It's always funny when a guy who runs 49-50 calls themselves a sprinter but would be destroyed by a mid-d guy and would struggle to beat Mo Farah or Bekele over 400m

You're an idiot. Kids would throw up all the time in high school after rough workouts...especially towards the beginning of the season.

First of all he's not a kid, because he was reported as being a "detrained 10.9 guy", which no kid would be.

Second, 6x50m, followed by 3x100m with 5 minutes rest, is nowhere near a "rough" workout.

YOU are clearly the idiot, you suck worse at trolling than you do at sprinting.

0/10

I don't consider myself a sprinter. I am a mid distance runner, I run the 800.

Sprintgeezer will GO HOME DEVASTATED AGAIN!!! his racism will not be tolerated.

You can still be a sprinter relative to your own abilities, even if you are slow.

What were the intensities of this workout? If they are rather high 90%+, this workout can definitely zap people... especially someone who is not sprint fit.

the best 200m guy on my HS track team would occasionally puke during workouts (while he was otherwise healthy)

Given the very long rest he indicated, it seems safe to assumebthis was 95% max speed or so. In which case am out of shape former decent sprinter just did 600 meters nearly all out. This is way past the ability of the body to maintain without completely exhausting the CNS. In other words, you are wrong sprintgeezer, this is what most coaches would consider a hard workout, at least it is very taxing to one energy system.

Also, calling the OP an idiot after making incorrect statements doesn't reflect well on you. I can understand why you so frequently resort to personal attacks on this board rather than just sticking to facts.

Sprinter. 2:35 mark.

Proves nothing, other than he was sticking his fingers down his throat and making himself puke. It's Bolt, he probably had a hangover or bad chicken nuggets.

No, that's crap. Even if he went at 95% (which there is no basis whatsoever for assuming), puking wouldn't be the result. I have done this a million times, "detrained". With that kind of rest, even if he did puke, it wasn't due to the workload.

Someone who calls me an idiot will get called an idiot right back. If you have a problem with that, you can suck an egg while you try to think up different monikers.

This is a really bad troll job. Still 0/10

Well, I thought maybe dehydration could do it, but of course that's speculation on my part, not something that you provided any evidence for, before-the-fact.

He was "beat-dead tired" after 6x50? I might be able to buy that if he was going 100% and if there was essentially no rest.

Keep us updated on "his" progress, won't you?

Why do you care so much? Lighten up, sprintstalker
