So I'm a 15 year old boy and I want to start track...I have done some sprints for school and that but just the usual stuff but my teacher says I should join a running club. So far my best 100m time is 11.6 without blocks or spikes and I was wondering how much I could get this to go down.
thanks
I don't know how far you could get it down because I don't know anything about you. What I can say is that an 11.6 is a very good time for a 15 year old that hasnt done track before.
Thanks for replying...is.there an average time that blocks and spikes decrease a time by or does that depend on the individual...do you have any spikes you recommend for me?
I can't really help you there because I'm a distance guy, but it should be easy enough to find that into on Google.

Your time will get slower because you'll have reaction time and a real timing system.
What is your ethnicity?
Oh yeah I didn't even take that into account
I'm a white English...I know blacks dominate the sprints but there's always lemaitre and gemili

I don't think Gemili is white...
Anyway, that isn't the point. If you think you would enjoy sprinting, you should pursue it regardless of what color your skin happens to be.
Yea I don't think sprinting should be decided by skin coulour tbh
