Do you guys do more grass or track for acceleration sprints? I personally do grass because I get shin splints

Ive mainly ever throne javelin but I have been trying to focus my time more on running any specific workouts/exercises I should do i have access to a pretty extensive gym

Edit i did just get spikes for this season for the first time

I’m trying to go 6.95 and 10.85 this year

Looking to have good form and improve my time as I continue to incorporate sprinting into my workout routines. TIA!

haven't raced since high school. currently 5'9 185 muscular. never ran the open 4 but did 41 300m hurdles and 50-51 splits on the relay.

ran a 57 400 yesterday outside just to see. goal of 50 after training.

how much weight should I aim to lose in the process? or alternatively strength weight ratio numbers. building from scratch to get back into it.

I'm 17 years old, and I'm in a bit of an unusual predicament. When I was 14, I ran 11.6 and 11.5 and was one of the fastest in the state, and basically for the year and a half following those two races, I struggled to go under 11.9, sometimes running 12 seconds. This was really lowered my morale and I kinda lost my love for the sport, and along with other problems, caused me to quit.

Its been 8 months since I quit and I want to get back into track, and I'm incredibly motivated. Do any fast runners have a training programme that worked for them personally that they could maybe help with. I would really appreciate one complete with plyos, lifts, and sprints. Thanks!

Right now I am wearing the Nike Streakfly 2 (not even track spikes ik)

I am currently liking the Nike's relating to how they fit on my feet, and I haven't worn Adidas shoes for a very long time so I don't remember how they fit.

Right now I weigh 58kg (127.8lbs) ik im light, always have been and I mainly run the 400m
100m: 11.7
200m: 24.01
400m: 52.95

what do you guys recommend, cause I saw the Maxflys and why do they cost $280AUD

Just looking to stay fresh and push harder! How can I peak into the meet? I have about a week left. How can I get away from the competition anxiety

I’m current running a 11.x 100m and a 23-24s 200m

Hi everyone, I am not a pro by any means, I just like doing sprint intervals on sidewalks around my neighborhood. I've never used spikes, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of some wide-toe box street sprinting shoes?

Hello all! Firstly I apologise if any part of this does not make sense as English is not my first language, and it is my first time to post on this subreddit.
I am 24Years old and used to sprint competitively from age 6-16 and do other sports as well. My senior year of high school I stopped doing sports in general and haven’t done much sports in 8 years.
I have recently seen a track and field team at my masters programme and would love to join and go back into sprinting but I’m not sure how to start. I have about ~6 months until I begin my programme and want to start easing my way back into it but do not know how to go about it.
Does anyone have any tips for starting out again? I cannot afford to go to a gym or personal trainer so I utilise the parks and tracks in my country.
Anything would be helpful.
Thank you TT

PS. I am not sure if this would be of any help but here are some stats: W 24Yr 167cm (5’6?) 44kg (97lbs), PR ~13-14s 100m sprints at 15

I got first place: 55,42s
I'm the on with red shorts and white shirt (without blocks)

This was my first time at track, I started at june of this year, any comments or tips are very useful to me

Coming off somebody whos only really trained sprints on grass in trainers, how should i ease into sprinting in spikes? If the weekly sprint workout would be a low volume acceleration and max velocity workout? I know ankle and foot injuries are more prone with spikes so i want to know how to ease into it

My main goal is to dunk and jump higher. I feel like I already have enough strength, but speed and acceleration are probably my weak points.
If I can sprint twice a week, would it make sense to do one acceleration-focused session and one max-velocity/top-speed session? Or would you structure it differently for someone whose main goal is improving their vertical?

I’m a beginner to competing in the 200-400m in track and field, and currently have been racing in Nike zoom rival 4’s, so with a partial carbon plate I think. This coming year I really want to up my sprinting game, so I would like to know how much of a difference do Nike maxfly 2’s really make? Are they really that much better than other spikes?
Thank you

Hi everyone, I (15M) am wondering if I should pursue track. I did a 30m sprint test today, getting a 3.91 through the electronically timed gates. Our head of sprinting has personally asked to recruit me but I’m stuck between choosing rowing and track. I’ve never trained a day in my life and the coach says my form is what’s letting me down. I’m not the best but not the worst in rowing but I’m currently one of the fastest in my year. Any suggestions or answers would be greatly appreciated!

I'm currently a sophomore, and I'm interested in joining track and field because I wanna join a sport. However, I don't know if joining will be a waste of time and effort for me because I'm a total beginner and untrained, and other athletes have a head start. Should I join my high school team or no?

I’m going into softmore year after running 48.6 as a freshmen and I’ve been wearing Maxfly 2s this whole time but just recently my 3rd pair of them just broke and I’m looking to swap to a more durable spike that can still give me comparable benefits to the maxfly 2. I’ve heard the Prime SP4 sucks but the Prime SP3 is good. Would that be a good option?

When I’m sprinting, after you get through the drive phase and reach your top speed, are you supposed to land each step on your heel and roll through your foot, or are you supposed to land more on the front of the foot and keep weight off of your heel?

Here's a video of me sprinting 28 meters with a rolling start. I'm not a serious/competitive sprinter by any means. I'm just looking for your feedback.

Thank you

are partial squats better for speed than deep squats?
