it is about time you start training
don't be too late
o u have a coach?
no i dont hv a coach....but yes i really agree with u,i need to start training now.But what of training?can anyone sort this thing for me pls?beside that my personal best for 100m is 12.85s and 28.68s for 200m,that without any training,so how much can I improve with training?and what kind of training?thanks.
Technique maybe the best starting point for you to develop your speed. Especially arm mechanics. Search the net for running arm mechanics and you will get some great soucres of info.
If you are looking for specialist sprint training programmes, then look at www.brianmac.demon.co.uk There are some good programmes to follow. As for strength training, that depends on how much expereince you have and how technically good you are at lifting.
I am assuming you have had little training so far so i am going to reccommed a good starting point for you. You might be too young to start weightlifting so I would suggest doing pull-ups, pushups, crunchs, and leglifts for your strengthtraining for 2-3 days per week. On days you strength train do some plyometrics from here ( http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,5033,s6-78-0-0-5902,00.html). Plan one day as your major workout day. At this point in your training try doing eight 300 meters runs with a minute recovery in between runs. Try your best to run this at a constant pace. To help you do this on the first couple go a little slower. Its better to start slow and end fast than to start fast and end slow. A week later do ten repeats instead of eight. One other day a week do 10x150 meters with a 50 meter jog in between. On another try to do with 12x100 with 50 meter job. You should run so you feel fairly comfortable in these two workouts. Remeber to warm up by easy jogging and doing some light stretching and to cool down by jogging easy again and again stretching. Take 2 days rest a week. Tell me if this helps.
But there is a few prob.I been doing some workout since the last 4 weeks ago and manage to gain up some muscle.I did all the things that u just told me,I even visit some website to gain more information about it.The main prob is I cant really do the things that u ask me to do<300m,150m,100,50m jog>.Can u suggest another training rather than that,coz i cant run until next year.Really sorry.... :oops:
i would advise you do to do tons of toe risers man it really helps :D im the fastest kid in my school cause of those do them every night before u go to bed if you dont know what they are look them up do about 150 of them in a row then u'll feel the pain :) its easy enough for you ,...your legs will be massive and then you'll be fast
Hi everyone, my name is iestyn, i am 15 and i live on the wirral! Kyle@ i am amazed at your pbs considering you are 13! where are you in malaysia? i am half malaysian myself! i am also amazed by your times too zachary105! i have tried plyometrics slightly before, i might start them again they seemed to work quite well :) but i haven't tried toe risers before - and my toe off is probably my weakest asset! :oops:
i will post my pbs on your topic now :wink: to see how they compare!
i hope i have made a good first impression - i am notoriously bad at them! but after a while i am an ok guy :wink: so thanks!
