athletes?

[michaellahti]

I run XC and Track and Swim. I do endurance.

 

[Carrot]

Well... I guess it's called Track and Field?

100m: around 12 seconds
200m: my PB is 25 seconds x'D
60m: that's sub8 seconds haha xD

Long Jump: 5.56m (bahh...)
High Jump: 1.61m (that PB is old)
Triple Jump: 12.49m at competition... but I have done 13+ many times at training :rolleyes:

Well... anyone who has tried a cooper test? (running for 12 minutes ) I got 3175m which I guess isn't that bad hehe

Odder,
How do you jump so far and high? Our running speed is about the same, but I can't long or high jump at all. I looked at a few videos, but still don't see how it's possible.
My vertical and standing broad jumps are decent, but I don't know the techniques for long and high jumps.

I don't jump that high I'm mainly training for triple jump as it's the physical hardest of the jumping diciplines

Try do some jump training? O___o Frog jumps, jump over hurdles, 5-jump (or even 10-jump)... but I don't know... that's just what I'm doing

cubing isn't an active sport. if it is, chess is. you don't train in cubing, you just cube and get better. there are no cubing drills. you don't run, work out, or jump to help with cubing faster. sport does have a stupid definition: Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. if cubing's a sport, anything's physical. so in my terms, and many other athletes, cubing isn't a sport.

Correction - running, jumping, working out or anything else active takes about 5 second of my average (less in the summer). I have rubbish circulation as it
a) Warms my hands up so i get faster turning
b) Increases adrenaline so you get better recognition

What else is needed in cubing?

Chris! Those were horrible press ups! I see many people doing press ups like that. Your elbows should not be down to the side, they should be going out at a 90 degree angle if you want to work your chest properly.

He is not trying to train his chest... those press ups are meant to train the arms :fp

Dene,
Sarcasm? Elbows flared out is not good for your elbow and shoulder joints. I actually do them with elbows tucked in.
Look at 1:10 of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJMzxAl-ViQ
My only complaints for Chris are that he needs to go deeper and that his body should be kept straight.

I run about 12 for 100m and 23-24 for 200m, my long jump is 4.90m I think.

And yea, those were horrible push-ups.

Not sure if this counts as a sport but ...

In a nutshell, I was on my high school's fitness team (last year). This program has been going on since around 1960. We compete in sit ups, push ups, standing long jump, pull ups, and a 300yd shuttle run (some meets had 9 turns, some had 5 turns on the run). There are 5 meets during the year. The fifth one is the national championship, which is held in San Diego, California. Our team came in 1st and I was the #3 individual in the country. I would have been #1 if they didn't include the standing long jump, because I'm not too good at that event. However, I got the best run time ever. Nobody in the past 50 years has beaten my time. Each event has strict rules and limits for you to stop at to get the full 100 points. The five events total add up to a maximum possible score of 500 points. The top 5 people from each high school team, have their scores added up. However, this year I just finished my freshman year of college and the current team actually just left for California yesterday to compete for the 2010 championship.

5'9" 157lbs
I can:
do 40 dead hang pull ups
~15 muscle ups (on a pull up bar)
bench 250lbs
deadlift ~340lbs
run really friggin fast, but have never been timed for the 100m or 40yd dash

My friends call me "Saber tooth abs" and "Leonidas' Grandson"

Besides that stuff, I played baseball, basketball, and soccer as a kid.

 

[Andreaillest]

I wanted to get inti a sport in HS, but I couldn't find a sport where I would be remotely good at. That and I was just really lazy to get up off my butt. I was/am? good at basketball, but being really short was very much of a hinderance.

Now a days, I just play sports for fun with my cousins and friends. I like to jet ski, but that only comes around in the summer and I workout to lose weight. Which is actually fun for me. I feel good after a great workout.

 

[Samania]

I used to be a wicked amazing swimmer. Now i sit inside cubing all day and playing DDR.

 

[nlCuber22]

I'm running XC in the Fall and I ran Track this Spring, and it just so happens we just finished up our season.

100m: ~12.50
200m: ~26.50
400m: ~58.00

Those are the only events I competed in by myself, but I also ran the 4x400 meter relay and the 4x800 meter relay. I'm not very good at field events, and longer events just aren't my thing. I probably run a 5:30 mile which pretty much sucks imo.

 

[miniGOINGS]

100m: ~12.50
200m: ~26.50

What's up with your 200? You should be able to sprint the whole 200, if not the 400.

 

[TheMachanga]

baseball.

 

[ianini]

I like jumping over wooden poles.

 

[nlCuber22]

100m: ~12.50
200m: ~26.50

Noooooooo, I can't sprint a 400. I can sprint a 200 but I tend to burn out on the last 25m or so.
My endurance sucks, I have to work on it.
Our school records are only 11.71 for the 100 and 25.15 for the 200 so I think I'll be beating those this year, and it's 55.xx for the 400 so if I work really hard I think I can beat it.

What do you run on these events?

Cool!

I used to only run 100 and 200 (I used to burn out on the last 25m of the 200 too). Now I'm running a lot more. Just on Friday I ran for 14 minutes and then sprinted 1 (no break). I'm probably going to go into track next year, and I'll let you know what my times are.
