How fast can you guys and gals sprint 100 meters?

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I started today doing 100 meter repeats and I average out to 11-12 seconds. 11 being my absolute fastest, 12 being average.

[daisyriddle]

I don't know prob a bit over average haha... I remember I used to be really fast in middle school, and that all my teachers used to tell me I was so fast, I remember being at least 7 meters before anyone in my class during PE... but I've completely lots it now... running makes me sad because no matter how fast i run i can't run faster than i can run, you know? that doesn't make any sense but it does... haha!

[fay23]

Fuck no I'll trip after my 3rd step and break an ankle

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Lol, I saw your name on my notifications and I’m like “Fay has no business commenting on this question, let’s just see what she has to say” lmfao

[fay23]

Lmao, i don't care I'll always comment on your workout posts. Its my favorite thing to do

[PoliceLivesMatter]

One of these days, I’ll see a serious comment like “PLM PLM!! I ran 100 meters in 11 seconds, I actually did it!!”

I’ll be like 😟🤯☠️

[fay23]

Nah you'd be like "prove it" and them I'd be like "watch🏃💨" "there 😤"

[fay23]

Lmao

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I’ll be like “Look at those sexy smooth Somali legs running, hot damn.” I wouldn’t even care about your time, I’d be entranced by the 8th Wonder of the World: Fay’s Legs

😂😂😂stahp

[Marinevet84]

In high school I did 12.5 by myself, and I think 12.2 in practice. I was a distance runner, albeit not very good, 5:19 mile.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Was that 12.5 with formal training and consistent sprints and long runs? Or was it without any formal training, technique training, etc.

[Marinevet84]

It was the summer before my senior year. I had been running track and cross country for a few years. Us distance guys would periodically run sprints at practice.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Yeah, it was my first time running 100 meters, and I barely run. What was the longest distance you’ve ran?

[Marinevet84]

Back then I did 10 miles once, and 8 miles (3 times in one day) regularly. It’s not the same as running, but in the Corps I did forced marches as far as 17 miles.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

How heavy was the extra load you were carrying on these marches?

[Marinevet84]

Maybe like 110-115 If I had a radio. Plus either my M-16 or M-4.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

What was your MOS?

[Marinevet84]

I was in comm, field wireman.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Oh, that’s cool. Thanks for your service

[Marinevet84]

You’re welcome man.

[Gludiusmax]

That's some serious speed.

[Gludiusmax]

It would take me way longer.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

My average is more around the 12 second mark

[Gludiusmax]

Never timed myself but I ain't nowhere close to that time. Good luck and keep up the good work.

[ImSoSquishy]

2 years ago before i changed gyms, i did 100m at average 18 and 20 seconds. the gym i'm going to now is a lot smaller and doesn't have a race track or swimming pool so i'm probably slower now due to the lack of constant sprinting compared to the past :(

[BeMuse]

No fucking idea. I know I use to pretty damn fast but I never competed in track events when I was young. I was interested in other sports (soccer, hockey, wrestling, etc.) until my mid 20s when I started doing distance runs (half and full marathons). I know we did a lot of sprints line to lines and running/skating for endurance I just don't remember any times my coaches may have said.

[Logorithim]

For kicks in high School, I ran it a few times at track meets (I normally ran only 400 and 800m). Best time was 11.9. Today? Probably 14 seconds.

[avalonbob]

Being against sweat and exertion of any kind, I would drive. My Mercedes gets 0-60 in 5 clicks, and this old man wold beat you all. Exercise is TERRIBLE for you.

[Iamagoodguy]

Ehhhh welll erm I erm you see ok

.

30 seconds ish

[BaileyisDarcy]

I won a 100m sprint at school once... And then moved school and lost by a mile XD

[Ellie-V]

Depends on what’s waiting for me at the line 😅

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Me, your lover

[Ellie-V]

Well then I bet I can beat that 11

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Lmao

[bacca400]

It depends. Is there a pizza at the end of this run?

[Darman368]

I can barley make it a whole lap around my old high school AstroTurf XD

[andreasderjuengere]

I think, I can do it under a minute. Tell me - why are you so obsessed with physical strength? No criticism, but...

[Chaz269]

I haven't sprinted in years.
I've never done short sprints like that, but I ran a 7-minute mile once, about 5 years ago. Best ever.

[LuvMeSomeBoys]

Never timed it but I suppose it would depend on who’s chasing me.

[tartaarsaus]

@AngelicEmpress would probably own almost everyone here lol

[AngelicEmpress]

Lol my best used to be like 12.04 however recently I went 10.98

[tartaarsaus]

For a women that's pretty fucking fast and you still beat most

[AngelicEmpress]

Well it’s enough for a gold medal so i’m ok with it for the time being lol

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Are you serious? A 10.98?

[AngelicEmpress]

Yeap

[tartaarsaus]

@PoliceLivesMatter She's way too fast, no wonder she's in big games

[PoliceLivesMatter]

10.98 whether for men or women is very fast. Elite

[tartaarsaus]

Indeed

[tartaarsaus]

Personally I don't know. Only times we did some sprinting stuff was at school at 60m and it was over a pretty poor grass field with holes everywhere lol so I didn't even bother being quick. I think I did it in like 9 seconds but I started basically jogging in a more speedy form after like 40 meters.

I've never done 100 m sprint I think

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

there's no chance in hell you average 11-12 seconds.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

How fast can you sprint the 100 m? I did say my average was 12, with my absolute lowest being around low to mid 11.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

either that, or the 11-12 seconds is more like 11.6-11.9. in high school, i ran a 10.7/10.8. most top high school 100m runners in the country will run mid to low 10's. and unless you ran competitively in college, most people cap off in high school sprinting wise. to run 11-12's repeatedly, you either:

a- only ran at most 3 times
b- had inaccurate timing
c- had a stupid amount of rest in between
d- can consistently run sub 11 100m's

mind you, i also coached and/or assistant coached sprints, hurdles, and jumps from college down to rec level (7-14) and ran nationally for 10 years. and i stay relatively in shape and can barely cap 12 in the few times i've run it since i stopped running. just like i ran a 50 400 and can't cap off a sub 55 1x... or how i was a 22' long jumper and i doubt i can break 20' or a 6' high jump. and this is all when i was still working out with the athletes i coached.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

Well, this was my first time running 100 meters, and I did 8 intervals, with as much rest as needed to complete each interval in the same time or with little change. Fastest was around 11 and the rest were averaged at around 12. I didn’t run in high school or middle school. And honestly don’t run consistently. Just curious what are some things you recommend, training wise, to help you improve your 100?

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

If you did 8, it’s virtually impossible to keep that pace unless you were an elite runner, have stupid stamina or took a 7 minute gap or 300m walk in between each run. That’s about the same as doing 8 200s at a 26/27s pace consistently. The 1st 3-4 are fine, but you’d be hard pressed to run sub 30 5-8th, even at a 5 minute rest. And that’s if you’re running in a group. Running alone makes you generally run slower if you aren’t trained.

I don't know, I’ve never seen you run.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I didn’t count the exact minutes in between intervals, but I did take as long as I felt was necessary to be able to do the next interval at about the same pace. My fastest interval was actually on the 4th or 5th, that’s when I did around 11. My closest was the very last interval. I did do some active recovery walking in between intervals, but the times vary. I would take shorter breaks in the middle of the intervals than when I would start and still maintain around the same speed.

[ChloeAlexandra]

9.8 when I was actually training in track and before I picked up smoking I refused to find out what my score would be now

[karen_1346]

4 minutes, in elementary school we had to do it, and then 500, than 1000 , but we first started with the 50 yard dash

[StilleWillem]

100 meters in 4 minutes? 🤔

[Moezan]

On average, i'm around 11s, but i have gotten in the 10s a few times during school. It usually depends on my energy during the day and whether my start technique was efficient

[Someguynamedbob]

Never good at sprinting but I can do a marathon no problem, more of a longevity runner

[yeeeeeeeet]

10.98 is my official pr but I think I can get into the -.70s if I start training again

[emmily2396]

No idea. I remember running 50 m in 9 seconds when i was in school
