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.

I did sprinting once(I'm a distance runner) and got like 14.xx on 100:fp

Haha. I'm probably around 11.5-12, but I really want to get into all types of distances. I love long distance.

Last year I had sprinters spikes for 3000, shin splints after the first 3 laps, worst run in my life!

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.

Don't worry about the 4, nobody can sprint a 400. I do:
100m 11.9-12.2
200m 24.5-25
400m 55-56
long ~19'
triple ~39' (school record wewt)
As you can see my 200 is almost exactly double my 100 but my 400 is double my 200 plus five seconds.

11.71 is a pretty quick 100 if you're around 12.5 right now but you should be able to get the 200 record reeled in with some training. Something I do a lot in track that i think helps is 150m sprints - I shoot for a time of 19.xx, you should be able to do that too.

Sprint distance != sprint the whole thing. Find me someone whose 400 time is within a second of double their 200 time. You simply can't. The world record 400m is 43.18 and the guy who ran that also ran a sub20 200.

Karate. =D

Me too, competed in the uni champs... what style?

I cube (still slow though)...and I also race motorcycles semi professionally. The two have quite a bit in common in terms of the mental approach. However, mistakes during a race tend to hurt a little more!

I'm big green with envy ...though I do ride a lot on the open road and have similar experiences of scraping pegs, and sometimes tires too ... definitely agree with the stuff about mental reactions though. You need to think fast for biking ... same with speedsolving ... guess its the same with sport karate too!

Sprinting != moving the at a constant speed.

As far as I'm concerned, if you consciously run any one part of the race slower than any other part then you are not sprinting the whole thing. The 100 and 200 thus are all out sprints while the 400 is considered a sprint distance because the majority of the race is a sprint - but not the whole thing.

I'm doing a dek hockey league this summer and I'm going to try to learn to ice skate. I know I'm too old to be good at ice hockey but it'd still be fun to play.

Karate (kumite; I don't do kata in competitions). I started for the national team last weekend at the EGKF European Goju-Ryu Championship.

I normally do Shotokan style, though, and WKF style for competitions.

Plus, I used to play table tennis in a club and I like basketball and streetball.

 

[Tyrannous]

I was a long distance runner back in my high school days, aint tried that in a few years though lol, would probably collapse just trying to sprint 50m
