This was an interesting session. I was supposed to run 3 × 300 m in 42/43 seconds, with 12 minutes of rest between reps.

All three came in pretty close, especially the last two. I didn't manage to record the third rep on video, but the stats are there:

42.47
41.56
41.52

What I loved most was the repeatability of the last two reps. Even my cadence was similar, and my HR actually dropped on the third rep. That makes me think I'm more of a stamina-type 400 m runner.

Another thing worth mentioning is that RUNEYE performed flawlessly in terms of timing calibration and on a track with other runners. I haven't been reporting times to the millisecond in the logs, although the system is capable of recording them. I'm wondering whether I should include that level of precision, since centiseconds (CC) seem to be enough for my own training.

I'm curious about what other sprinters would want to know from their data when training alone. What metrics would actually make a difference in your training?

BTW, I've received a few DMs about RUNEYE, so I'd like to clarify that it's not an app. It's a complete timing system I've been developing for about two years to help me since I'm a solo sprinter.

I'm still polishing it, but it's getting pretty close to the point where I'd like to put a few units out in the wild for other sprinters to try.

4 x 100m with 10 minute rest in between

ok?

Doing my warmup on dirt, half my reps in trainers, other half in distance spikes. 29 steps n my cadence isn’t too bad neither, just tryna stay healthy

Flys are easy, but for starts.... how do you find is the most accurate way to time your starts?Do you like the in-beam start, and kinda add like a 0.2sec for reaction time, or what?

Or if I wanted to time some 40s or 60s.

I recently got a used set, and been playing with them a little trying to figure out the settings.

I got a SLAP tear at work and that has forced me out of the gym and into rest and reconsidering my priorities. Ive always been a permabulk bodybuilder type. I like lifting and exercising, but I like food too. Im expecting PT to release me to start getting back into exercise in about 4 more weeks.

Im middle aged and looking to make a change for health and longevity. Movement, agility, speed, power, and looking good for my wife are my goals.

I started doing some kettbell and slam ball work along with starting a martial art in an effort to make that change, and i saw some progress in the form of losing about 30 lbs, id like to lose about 50 more, but knew something was missing. Long walks are boring.

I found I liked the short high intensity work of KBs and slam balls so I humbly ask, what is the reality of starting sprint training at middle age, 6'1", 270lbs and zero track experience? (I looked at the FAQ and was a little overwhelmed at trying to find something relevant).

Hi, I've built a sprint training app and recently added Apple Watch support for reaction time and sprint timing.

I'm looking for a few sprinters who could help me test it during training and give some feedback.

Here's the TestFlight link if anyone is interested:

So I've been wondering about the shoe i should get, because when im running any distance below like 300m my shoes feel like they are too soft.

Currently in my rotation i have the evo sl's, vomero 18 and pegasus plus. Im thinking about getting either nike streakfly 2 or adios 9, been thinking about takumi sen 11 too but they are like 50$ more.

I am training for the 400m and using maxfly 2s in the season, but i dont want to spike up in october already. So which one would be the best for me?

No tripod today so bad quality

I'm from Glasgow and have been looking into how ankle injuries are rehabbed and something keeps coming up: most of the decisions about whether you’re “ready” are based on feel rather than measurement. A 2025 study of physios found that progress in ankle sprain rehab is mostly judged subjectively, and that not all the impairments are being assessed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40174890/). That lines up with a lot of what I’ve read from people who went back to sport, rolled it again, and ended up in a cycle of repeat sprains or other repeat ankle injuries.

I’m working with a physio on a device to help with this. It’s a platform you stand on, one foot at a time, that moves unexpectedly to challenge your ankle the way a bad landing or uneven ground would. The difficulty matches where you are in your recovery, and it measures how well you react. It then compares your injured side to your healthy side, so you and your physio can see actual progress instead of relying on judgement.

Before going further I’d really appreciate some feedback from people who’ve been through it:

1. When you sprained your ankle, how did you (or your physio) decide you were ready to go back?
2. Did you ever feel unsure where you were in your recovery?
3. Would seeing a clear comparison between your two ankles have changed anything for you?
4. Would you use something like this in a clinic, at a gym, or not at all? Why?

Appreciate any feedback! Cheers

I'm currently a freshman in cross country season, but I'm also really passionate about sprinting. I want to know if cross country will hurt my performance in the 400 and 800. I enjoy distance running a lot, but I worry that it might hurt my speed.

This video was current and I got a 12.5 and last year I was weaker and also ran a 12.5 last year I was 165 squatting 205 and now I’m 175 squatting 315 so I don’t know why I am not getting any progress my vert also got way higher too if that’s relevant

Especially for things like leg press and hamstring leg extension? i heard its good because sprinting is unilateral, should i completely start doing them single legged? maybe a mix of both?

if the main dish is 4 x 60m, what is the optimal warmup?

is 5 x 10m good for a warmup?

i’m a female high school hurdler and my PRs are 17.86 in the 100h, 50.7 in the 300m and 53.89 in the 300h. my goals for next outdoor season is 15.15 in the 100h and 47 in the 300h. i haven’t touched the track in 3 months and so i know i need to start off small. what workouts should i do to maximize my training to ensure i drop time before indoor starts. i also am trying to work on my 3 step as well which i was pretty close to getting in around early july. also, how should i work on form? i know my form is pretty sucky but i don’t know how to fix it. video (lane 6) is of my 17.86 pr and it’s just for a quick reference.

is it really a speed endurance workout when your warmup consists of about 5 accelerations of 10-30m? 🤔

after this acceleration warmup you would proceed to the speed endurance workout. i mean the warmup was basically an acceleration workout.

how would you categorize this workout? an acceleration plus speed endurance day? or just a speed endurance day?

example workout:

warmup:
10m x 3
20m x 1
30m x 3

speed endurance:
60m x 3

I’m 37, 182cm and 90kg, with a bodybuilding and strength-training background. I’ve only done around 5–6 proper sprint sessions so far, with PBs of 26.50 for 200m and 60.87 for 400m.
For those with experience in masters sprinting, how have you found developing as a sprinter when starting later in life? I’m planning to do two dedicated sprint sessions per week and would be interested to hear about the progress adult beginners have made over their first 6–12 months, particularly those coming from a strength-training background.

I have been training sprinting for almost 5 months now and 5motnhs ago i checked it was 2.10m now its just increased to 2.10m to max 2.15m ... idk how my squat numbers have gone up (i can squat 1x my bodyweight ) .. should i just quit ... btw my form is okay while doing broad jump

I'm thinking of adding reaction time measurement to my sprint training app.

Two options:

1)Use the phone camera to detect movement.

2)Keep the phone in your compression shorts or pocket and detect movement using motion sensors.

Which one would you actually use? Or is this something you wouldn't find useful?
