Troy,

In case you wanted to know i've discovered a great exercise that will improve your time. If you work with plyometrics which consists of jumping and hopping your 100m time will increase. Try doing box jumps, standing long jumps, etc, until you have completed the desired amouint of reps. With plyometrics I was able to increase my time from 12 flat to 11.4. Hope this helps with your training. Send me your results.

You might want to consider joining a track club. There is a club in Hamilton called the Hamilton Olympic Club. To find out how to contact them, go to : www.tnfnorth.com and make a post on the message board.

If looking for descriptions and pictures of plyometric exercises, look at www.exrx.net

They have some good definitions etc in the exercise catelogue link

These are the links of some of the exercises you asked for.

Exercises which require you to stand on a box/step to then jump off needs some caution. At your age and level of ability, you need to work on a small step and concentrate on technique.

If you can get hold of Don Chu's book - Jumping into Plyometrics it will give you some really good guidance.

2nd edition is the more upto date version with all the info from 1st edition but better quzlity pictures and more info.

If you cannot get hold of it, let me know as can send you photocopies of the important pages.

Send me a personal message with your e-mail address and can sort something out.

that was directed at the original poster, who is from hamilton...
