I know about 56 percent of you probably realize this.
But after reading numerous different threads and the content of those threads over the past 7 years then i'm going to have to re-emphasize a few points.
Every single track and field event is based on an ideal weight range for that event.
For instance. The average Olympic bodyweight in the 400 meter dash is somewhere around 157-164.
Meaning that you can't be an Olympic 400 meter dash sprinter if you're over 206. It's just impossible to do.
I see alot of threads where people ask alot of questions such as can this person do this.. Or can the average person do this. Or what's a good time for age 45 or what's a good time in the 5k.
But it would appear that alot of you don't realize that all of these events are weight dependent.
It's literally all about the mass moves mass factor. And the power to weight ratio.
To run faster you must reduce weight and increase the quality and strength of your individual muscle fibers all across your body and in every area. Including the muscles in your feet and shins.
Everything must become stronger and everything must become lighter at the same time. It's like a car.
You want to increase horsepower while decreasing weight. Car builders look for areas that they can reduce drag and weight to increase a cars 0-60 time.
You basically want to do the same thing.
I know some of you are thinking that this is so obvious. Because you get it. But this post is for the people that don't get it.
And there's alot of people on this forum that simply don't get that you have to increase your power and decrease your bodyweight if you ever want to run fast.
It's as simple as that. To start.
I hope you all get a PR at the gym or track today.
