Good Times And Distances For 100m / 400m / Long Jump?
Question:I'm a male 14 year aged. Anyone know what I should be getting for the above events?
Answers:
Hiyah I'm also 14 and a sprinter. At our athletics club a lot our boys do one and the same events as you and get almost around 10 and 11 secs for 100m. I was on a website though beside times from u15s 100m and the average was something like 12.63. As for the 200m none of our boys do this event but if it helps next my pb is 26.6 and I've been rank first in teh lothian district for 200m and 300m dunno if that help though! On the long jump I would enunciate you should be getting around 4 or 5 meters. I hope this helps Natz x
I'd be impressed if you jump 100m in any amount of time.
Around 12sec contained by the 100m and 53/54sec in 400m would be roughly right. Not sure about long skip though sorry.
Ummm, let's see. For 100m, 10-14 seconds would be great! 400m, I've never in actuality tried, but I'm saying conceivably 53-57 seconds is just about right. (Keep in mind the word "about"). For long bounce, it depends which kind of long kick you're talking something like because there's standing long jump and running long kick. For standing long jump, you might know how to get 2-4m and running long hurdle, you might be able to receive 3-5m, and if you're really good at jump, then you might even grasp 6m! (But only if you're really right... I think).
=) Ok, well, at hand you go. Times and distances for 100m/400m/Long Jump.
for your age just about 13-14 seconds surrounded by the 100, 1:00-1:05 in the 400 and 14-16 foot in long spring
Twins has get it right.
Your 100m time, if you are very severely fast, should be right underneath 12 second. Anywhere from 12-13.5 would be decently swift (keep in mind the best giant schoolers in the nation run mid 10s, while the average varsity athlete probably runs 12 flat)
400m time: A standout time would be anywhere from 53-57 second. Anything under 60 is great for a 14 year older, and you shouldnt be too worried unless you run about 68 second. I cant help you on the long go underwater.
100m -- 10-13 sec.
400m -- 52-57 sec.
long jump. -- 4.58-5.48 (15-18 ft.)
Yes. You should know. It depends on what standard you are and solitary you know that. The times or distances can be anything you're capable of doing. Theres no specific times.
l'm 14 and l too run for 100m surrounded by 12sec./400m in 54sec..So you should be 10sec. for 100m & 53sec. for 400m ldk give or take a few the long jump
Measuring Running Distances?
Question:Hey, I am awful at estimating distances but would love a rough idea of how far I am running since I am trying to build up the distance. How reliable are stepometers for this? I know they are nowhere in close proximity good satisfactory for competitive runners but I don't need that plane of accuracy can't afford the GPS watches unless in that is something in between? Estimating my route from a map is really difficult since it is so complicated. Any philosophy? Sorry the question turned into a bit of a ramble :) Thanks.
Answers:
I run on roads so when I want to estimate distance I basically drive my car through the route and reset my distance meter. The stepometers are flawless if you set it up correctly.
hey, no prob. (i mean the lacking continuity part of it) powerfully, stepometers aren't that reliable cause they singular show you how many steps you clutch. like, you could clutch really big steps, and another person could whip really small steps, but you both could have run like peas in a pod distance. i don't really know anything in between the GPS watches and the stepometers. sorry...but you could try running on a treadmill or something of that sort which tell you how far you've ran. apposite luck!
A good path to determine the distance that you ran during a run is to first run to a stadium/track and run one mile at the pace that you usually run at. Time this mile and remember the time. When you jump for your runs make sure you time how long you run for. For example if it takes you 9:00 to run a mile during your "oral exam run", then you can assume that during a 45 minute run you run about 5 miles. This is the agency i calculate distance when I run...Its not 100% exact but it is completely close if you run a fairly flat course.
www.mapmyrun.com It's amazing. Check it out. It will also impart you your pace and such if you do it after your run. (I use it to plan out my runs). There are other sites out near like this one, too...but I cogitate they are all tremendously similar and I love this one. It's way fun.
If you hold an ipod nano, I have hear the nike+ is a pretty good system, and for one and only $30. If you don't have an ipod nano, those are expensive too, and it's going to closing up being simply as expensive as a GPS system (like the garmin forerunner 305...drooolll.). :)
For an approximate distance, you can use a pedometer. You can set it for a large stride since you're running, not walking. I get mine at Target for about 6 dollars. I drove my route after using the pedometer and it be pretty accurate.
You can get a pedometer for $1-$5. Measure your running stride (probably 2 -3 feet)...and multiply your steps by that stride length. in that are 5,280 feet contained by 1 mile. Another good course is to download Google Earth (free) and measure the distances right rotten the satellite image. See the intertwine below for more info on both of these & other methods. Best of luck!
I do not find pedometers accurate. there is a great running site call www.runthere.com. I use it regularly to map out runs before and after I hold run them
Is the mile distance, on the track, a piece of times gone by? Will Steve Scott forever hold the copy for sub-4s?
Answers:
The mile was the simply race diary distance retained when the IAAF decided that solitary meter records would be kept. So, yes the mile will verbs to be run, but I don't think anyone will run adequate lifetime races to break Scott's total.
Alan Webb might bring back after it. There are plenty of runners who will contend to crack Steve Scotts records. For example, Bernard Lagat, fastest 1500m runner within the world right now probably will be capable of do that.
Who, among fashionable marathoners, chronological & present, have the fastest leg turnover?
Question:My vote goes to Hiromi Taniguchi & Joan Samuelson
Answers:
Most limited marathoners in the world (both inside and outside of Kenya) enjoy a leg turnover (stride) rate of 180 strides per minute, regardless of the runner's physical build or size. Incredibly, this is true for runners of any distance. It has be postulated that human physiology dictates that the 180 stride rate is the most efficient within terms of heartiness expenditure when running.
So, having the fastest leg turnover rate does not put together a better runner. In fact, if it is too much faster than 180 strides per minute, it may gross them a poorer runner.
That said, I like to deliberate that either Paul Tergat or Paula Radcliffe have a natural stride rate of 180.1 strides per minute, 0.1 more than everyone else. :)
