11.77-11.79 estimates, say 11.8
I haven’t watched the vid, but that is plausible, and would be excellent for him.
Of course this is all guesswork, and nobody knows about the wind.
Only FAT with good wind gauge counts.
No surprises here. To enlighten all of us, he should start using peptides and see what happens. He is a perfect candidate.

As far as his 100m is concerned, I would guess he could go 11.80-12.20 FAT from blocks, basic, after some training.
So far that prediction is right on. IMO next week will not be substantially better. And we still have no wind readings.
The winner looked good, that was actual sprinting, even if not super-fast.
Looks like there was a breeze again.
Looking at the vid I would give it 11.8-12.0. but I will go with 11.8 for sake of argument.

What IS your PR? Have you ever owned up to it?

I'm thinking about going to do exactly that, but that's going to depend on whether or not my hamstring blows out in the workout I have in two days. If I make it through that, I'm seriously considering making the trip up there.
How's your hammy? I wonder if I would trip and fall, putting on sprint spikes and starting out of blocks. Neither of which I have done in 15 years

Not good, actually. But....I'm still thinking about going. Between the questionable left hamstring and questionable sprint workout results, really I SHOULDN'T go, but I'm thinking about doing it anyway because I'm an idiot.
I think I ran a barely sub 3 second 30 meter fly yesterday. I don't really know how to categorize that kind of result, but in-and-of-itself it was good enough to go run for fun I guess. But....the hammy is a mess. So I'm not sure. I might make a last second decision on whether I'm going or not. If it weren't for the questionable hamstring I'd actually start hyping up going just for poos and giggles, but I'd hate to go up there and pop hammy at 60/70 meters and then have that on video for all to see.
Dude you think 10.9 is fast? Too much picking on the geez here. He’s the only one who was right, so I will take his word over yours any day. Didn’t Rupp go 10.9?

"Fast" is almost always relative. Geezers style ALWAYS deserves picking on.
A sub11 is actually a decent 100m time.
And bro, Rupp cant even go sub-12 FAT, forget about sub-11.

That's a little more in line with reality, thank you.
Personally, I have run fast enough in the past to have a part of me snobbishly laugh off what a 10.9 represents, both hand and even FAT. But, even the d-bag part of me gives way to acknowledge that 10.9 ain't half bad. Really, once you start getting into the low 11s FAT, you're probably "fast" on a certain general "true sprint" level. Would an 11.15 look good next to a 9.6? No. But...10.25 doesn't even look good next to 9.6, so, again. Relative.
To bring it full circle, I wouldn't call Symmonds fast in a sprint sense, but he's starting to get into weekend warrior sprint territory, which probably fits his training.
Mo Farah barley broke 13 seconds in the 100 meter. He is about the same speed as rupp. 10.9 hand timed flying 100, which is what like an 11.2 FAT? That's like 12.1 100 meter speed.
Any update on Symmonds’ latest effort?

Oh and Nick, the most important thing is to stay uninjured. The 100 is not the 800, be careful. Do not try to “push through” workouts, and never work out fatigued.
Apparently he didn’t run yesterday because he has a slight ham tear from his 100 efforts.
...but maybe someone who knows something about sprinting wants to chime in.?
What was that video I just watched? A running track has straits approximately 80 meters long. They ran about 3/4 of the strait? WTF?
Whoa being a washed up has been and posting about yourself to make it seem like people remember or care about you is that sign of a true twat
Lol you stupid troll. You must be getting accustomed to losing, you do it so often.
I am enjoying your display of suffering, please continue.?
