Scott, you can definitely run under 13. Can you get at least 15-16 feet in the long jump? If you can, then it's physically impossible for you to not go sub 13. are you sure? Maybe wrong your memory lol

I was a decently accomplished long and triple jumper in high school and college. if you looked up my name on Google, you'd see two things - some kart related stuff and a whole lot of track results! My lifetime bests in Long Jump are 21' 6 1/2" outdoor, (6.57m) 21' 1 1/4" indoor (6.43m) and triple jump 43' 8 3/4" outdoor (13.33m) and 43' 4 1/4" indoor (13.21m). I'm sure I can dig up an old photo of me jumping in college somewhere...

I had this same problem for the longest time. What I did, was I tied shoelaces together and used them instead of the bar, and after clearing the same height with the shoelaces, I was a lot more confident with trying out using just the bar. Of course, you can use rope or some other substitute, but shoelaces don't hurt no matter how you land on them.

Smiley

are you sure? Shocked

Maybe wrong your memory lol

It was hand timed. According to the IHSA (Illinois High School Association), you add .24 to hand timed to get an automatic mark. So it's 11.76, I guess. I'm pretty sure it's not incorrect because I tied my friend, and he was timed at 11.55, and I was half a step behind a another guy, and he was given 11.43

Meet went bad today, ran like an 11.5x (automatic timed).

I was certainly not a distance runner, but I started running a lot more distance stuff when I worked for Nike, which culminated in me running the NYC Half-Marathon in 2007. I ran a 1:47:02. I just wanted to break 2 hours.

Hey that's awesome man! Is that the longest race you've done? I know that's the longest I've ever raced in my life, my first half-marathon was last year in November. It's actually kind of brutal. It was fun though. Is the NYC Half-Marathon the same course as the marathon?

I tried start to train Track/Athletics in the past....but did not liked it so much.

50m I can do 5"1x if I train for a while,,,,,But was not so good to do a good run for 100m...

Playing football / 50m is enough to me for a good run

It was definitely the longest race I'd ever run. I'd gone on some 10 mile training runs for it, but the longest "race" I'd done before that was a 10K. The Half-Marathon course kicks the NYC Marathon course's ass. The Half has a loop of Central Park (6.2 miles), then it cuts down to Times Square (the best part of the race!) before going west towards the West Side Highway, where it takes you down all the way to Battery Park for the finish line. I can't think of a more iconic race than doing that! Plus, it's a hell of a lot easier to enjoy the surroundings running a half as opposed to a full marathon!

Hey I'm back. Thanks for remembering me Matthew. Gotta rep us distance runners. I ran in college for my first two years, then they cut the men's cross country and track and field programs. Since then I have been training by myself. I just graduated, and am planning on going to grad school somewhere that has a team so that I can have people to train with again. I actually did run pr's in some of the longer stuff this year. Here are my best times:

600m: 1:23.8 (2004)
800m: 1:57.3 (2004)
1500m: 4:05.9 (2008)
mile: 4:26 (2006)
3000m: 9:06 (2008)
3200m: 9:40 (2008)
5000m: 15:52 (2008)
8000m xc: 26:33 (2006)
Half Marathon 1:18:22 (back in 2003, this one is going down soon)

Thanks Chili. It is sad that my 800m and half marathon PR's are from high school, but my college career has been riddled with injuries. For instance, I was in shape to run 1:14 for the half marathon this spring, but I was focusing on getting on the track and doing middle distance stuff, and then I came down with anemia and lost basically all of my fitness. I was also getting fit enough to threaten sub 4 in the 1500m Sad

Just found out that I will be going to Notre Dame next year. I have talked to their coach and hope to walk on to their team, but they are REALLLLLLY good

Lol, the 60m world record is 6.39, which is a little less than 66 yards, so I call bs.

In 6th grade I ran the 50 yards (Which was some "Presidential" Event..) in 7 seconds flat, which got me an award.

That's the time she read off to me in gym class. It was the fastest in the class, but it didn't even feel that fast.
