Running Tips : How to Run the 100-Meter Dash

[ashraf0sammour]

the only person who got in 9.58 in Usain Bolt what he is talking about ? nobody made less than that yet

[ywohoo]

Breaking the 9 seconds mark... I dont know anyone like that

[06livefast]

@RandomStevie Not to burst your bubble on this one, but uh, there's actually ALOT more to it than you think.

[kakaleite7]

watch?v=wACr2klVuYo  hey wacth my video coordination testing

[DBZfreak723]

wher can you find how to train for a 75 yard dash sorry for spelling

[Justinniann]

no one can break 9 seconds yet baldy

[xXBMXSAINTXx]

@Justinniann ive seen it lots

[hhhkingofkings888]

@Justinniann he means 9.0-9.9 seconds

[yeayeawudeva01]

@Antweezy58 lol yeah i agree! a good start will help but its about getting up to top speed and passing people/staying ahead.

[joshlemay7]

@Antweezy58 i agree but usain bolt is insanely fast and faster than everyone. he can burn everyone but in most cases, a good start will help you out a lot.

[XULcerberusXES]

@joshlemay7 not chris johnson.

[rubensantana7]

You Talk To Much,

[tonitopr18]

i want training HARD trainig!!!

[Fwater2]

@Antweezy58 Last year twin runners that go to a rival High School nearly break 10 seconds in every race. That was their junior year too, let's see what they do this year. I really think that they will break 10 seconds.

[punynation]

how can they be experts? they cant even put a proper title

[mrstuffey]

12 years old running 12.56's

[TheHero986]

there is no technique in the 100.. eitha u got the speed or u dnt

[dantae910]

when i was in grade 5. For 100m dash, i got 11.5s.....:P

[TheRoadtoFailure]

I start slow but catch up halfway through.

[tgunter456]

At 16 I was running 11.5 - 11.4s...

[wbeBTNH]

@tgunter456 my friend who is 14 runs in 11.2

[Antweezy58]

@wbeBTNH is that hand time on a stop watch or fat timing? cuz the fastest 14 yr old in the country ran 11.21 this year....i doubt thats your friend

[coolsam5000]

@mmball8 well if their fast 100m 11 , 10

[physicalgrafiti12345]

@mmball8 the best sprinters at your that make it to state generally run from 10.8 to 11.3 however most people your age run 12.0 to 12.4, I myself a junior in high school and average about 12.3 however my time has been slowly decreasing as it will happen when you get older and develop more.

[aznbook2]

@physicalgrafiti12345 well that didnt happen for usain bolt

[physicalgrafiti12345]

@aznbook2 thats why i said MOST people, and Usain Bolt is pretty much the fastest recorded man in human history.

[plcollins1987]

the problem with this video is it doesn't tell how to run the 100 meter dash. plyometrics are great for training, but they won't address the running technique

[Kattie0321]

ok FibSaSk and xxXDaViDzOhOuNXxx you guys are full of it the world record is nin minutes something you are in low grades and it would be a maricle if it was true

[xxXDaViDzOhOuNXxx]

@Kattie0321 lol im not even joking lol i made the 100 m in 8.57 sec and to be honnest i felt like i could run even faster then that :P oh and lol i havent traned at all lol i never knew u even had to train for a such a sport i mean it is just running :P

[aznbook2]

@xxXDaViDzOhOuNXxx it probobly wasnt even a hundred meters

[FibSaSk]

me like 8.2 100m in 6th,...

[wb119]

@juancarlosbaronrojo who the fuck r u talking to

[garydean722]

[xxXDaViDzOhOuNXxx]

i made 8.57 for 100m and im in grade 9 xD

[Mankind5490]

@xxXDaViDzOhOuNXxx ya right the world record in 9.58 seconds by usain bolt

[pletta17]

@xxXDaViDzOhOuNXxx

ha ha ha. you're gay.

[sportsabddrums7]

[sportsabddrums7]

11.9 I'm in 7th grade

[wb119]

10.82- missed state qualifying by .2 sec

[Kris5445]

12.1 im in 7th

[kidcops97]

my best is 14 flat im in 7th grade and im the fastest

[wilsonho218]

i ran the 100 metre in 14.6 seconds in 5th grade

[COD6PWN]

dude thats slow

[LMJ2k9]

my fastest is 11.7 and a lot of your starting power is from upper body this guys retarded.

[ruedrued]

i do 100m in 5 secs :)

[nepovjerenje]

fail fastest man is 9:76

[Aggie4Life685]

usain bolt rain 9:58

[KevYuuuu]

actualy its like 9.59 usain bolt?

[yagonunez]

im 13 and i run a 10.4 and all there is to is it is your lower body strength

[bugzbunnys]

@yagonunez do you actuall run a 10.4

[yagonunez]

yea i do my time came in as an unofficial 10.3 but then came in as 10.4 official

[PhilipChoyKam]

You can represent your national team actually

[nepovjerenje]

FAIL LIAR kid it takes a very good healthy chest body to get at 10:00

[cod4door]

@yagonunez ya join the omlypics kid theres some people in the olympics who run a 10.5. its weird cuz i dont believe u

[yagonunez]

@cod4door no cause at the olypmictrials its the top two or three times that qualify and they are usaully 9.7 9.8 9.9 if i went right now i wouldnt make it cause a slow time there is like 10.2

[tigerdasavage]

one problem, the video says how to "run the 100" not train for it

[Martinchvr]

@tigerdasavage thats what the title says dumbass

[tigerdasavage]

@Martinchvr but the video doesnt tell you how to run the 100 fucktard. it tells you how to train for it.

[biebergeneration16]

@tigerdasavage egg-zackley how is a domb box going 2 help us who owns that type of equipmen i am not trying 2 be mean but help us not ignore us

[jisinstube]

@tigerdasavage well first you move up your right leg and touch the ground fast and strong and then the other leg until you finish LOL

[straightrides]

Is upper 12s good for a 13 year old? because that is my times. i dont no if it is good though.

[armwood2010]

im 18 and im a first year track and field runner/ pole vaulter and my 100 m is around 12 secs. so yea id say your pretty quick man.

[ke5eaj]

im 15 and run a 12.89, so yeah, you are a beast for a 12 year old.

[rgejsv]

i kno some1 frm last yr in r school who ran the 100m in 12.9 and he was jogging the last 30m and hes only 13

[bearedman8]

By the last 30 meters momentum pretty much carries you no matter what effort is put into it by then. As for his time, that' not bad, as he gets older he should be able to save a good amount of time off.

[ElliotHeath100]

@flexyfork honestly i dont mean to bring race into this but is the guy white or black. how do you run like that :)

[flexyfork]

@ElliotHeath100 hahah he is black, and race does tend to be a factor. Dude the sprints are all about the fast twitch muscle fibers and black athletes tend to have more..... i'm not trying to offend anyone lol

[ElliotHeath100]

@flexyfork haha i thought so but blacks do have a bigger achilles bone than white guys nd women and that tends to give them the edge. how fast do u run in the 100m .

[flexyfork]

@ElliotHeath100 my time is no good, its 11.22ish but my event is the decathlon. In high school i only did the pole vault so this is like my second real year of running..... ask me what my time is in year or so haha

[ElliotHeath100]

what my coach said to me is if im going to keep showing off near the end of the race im not going to get faster. that was 4 months ago and i ran 11.2 absolute fastest possible with no slowing down. now i do a hard workout and ran 10.99

[sagrocket]

ur a freak

[ElliotHeath100]

and by the sound of your name you are a fat bastard who sits in the house all day eating Quavers

[sagrocket]

or maybe..i can run normal and im not a dropout and a failure like u..get a REAL job MOTHERFUCKER

[ElliotHeath100]

lol ur funny

[sarrafeiro]

Go to the gym, squat, bench press, clean, abs, then go to the track do 6x60m at 100& full and some pylometrics and stretch on the end. You will see progress!

[d1ggums]

bench press has nothing to do with running...

[sarrafeiro]

60% of your starting power ( first 20m) comes from upper body strenght.

[crusher1427]

Upper body strength plays a role in stabilizing your core which is vital for balance while running, running is a body motion that involves almost every major muscle in the body, pectorals are no less important.

[jav929]

we gotta a bamf over here

[usalavy19]

i went to provincails and the guy that one got 10.8 i think, he was insane!

[erolimes]

I run 11.1 at 14 iHAND TIME

[AtomicTom2758]

bs... that is state qualifying in high school. seek mental help

[erolimes]

no dummy thats district qualifying.. i didnt make it to districts because i ran it in a FAT meet.. it was 11.37 FAT but 11.1 hand time.. but they could only enter FAT timing.. yur so stupid i hate hater like yu yall jus keep fueling me to work harder till i come out on top!!

[Spocksbrother]

Im on the track team and people say an amazing 60m for my age. People who compete in my heat for the 60m most of the time beat me in the hundred. How can get better in the 100?

[BreuckelensFinest]

Do 8x200m with 2 min rest on Monday's at 75-80%, 6x300m with 4 min rest on Tuesday's at 70-75%, 10x150m with a walk back Wednesday's at 80-85%, Thursday Jog 3-5 miles Easy, 30x50m Friday's at 70-90% break up into Three 10 rep sprints. This will make your "Top End Speed" ridiculous. Rest on the weekends and sprint as relaxed as possible with relaxed/powerful arm action. Your legs follow your arm swing! Keep me posted on your progress.

[Spocksbrother]

well actually i have improved since i posted my other comment :P i went from a 13.5 to a 12.8 :D this workout does sound very intense though, and also how many weeks should i do it for; two, four, six? also would this improve my acceleration and explosiveness? i will definitely keep posted, especially since im trying to beat my middle school record. ill be training hard for the upcoming eighth grade school year.

[BreuckelensFinest]

Everything is hard until it becomes easy young grasshopper. LOL. But for real it will get easier. You have to believe in what you're doing in your training or it isn't going to work ultimately. The workout I gave you is a combination of Michael Johnson's, a lot of my friends that are ex world class sprinters and my friend Gerald Tinker (1972 4x100 Gold medalist) If you want that "Top End" speed then you have to put in those 200-300's. My friend learned this from John Smith (Mo Greene's coach).

[menacidaldagurath]

yo ima track vet and the way to train for any sprint.... run ur distance all out in practice! seriously, 100% sprints are unparalleled because ur activating most of the fast twitch muscle fiber involved in the racing. go to a track and sprint. a lot. peace

[rayisleet]

10.4 here.

[LHD4life]

i run 11 but i wunna improve can any one give me sum useful info?

[AtomicTom2758]

im no expert. but i used to only get like 11. 90, but i started doing air alert (look it up) which is a verticle jump program. but it builds explosiveness in your legs like crazy. in 3 weeks i went from 11.90 to 11.19... hopefully ill place at state next year

[Spocksbrother]

three weeks? very impressive...but isnt it like a 15 week program? LOL how much do you think i could take off my time in a month with air alert (i do a 12.7-13.00)

[AtomicTom2758]

depends how old you are, maybe a second and a half

[Spocksbrother]

im turned 13 two days ago :p

[AtomicTom2758]

then you are way good. last year i started at 12.90 and im going to be 18 soon

[TNARulezv2]

dude i run a fuckin 13 and im in 7th grade and i need to lower tht

[AtomicTom2758]

dude thats fine. here was my progression this season

13.15, 12.90, 12.56, 11.90, then after hard training with air alert II i got 11.19

[CCHS6Ballin]

i run 11. low..i need a 10 lol

[123xcoolx321]

impressive... mine is 17 seconds...I'm such a slowpoke

[volcomsher]

he 100% correct because im not that fast but i always get the best starts and still end up in top positions

[WH1T3P0W3RFTW]

i just keep my head down when i start i usually get first

[PieRules246]

i dont mean to be a bad comment poster but you didn't really tell how to run a 100 meter dash.

[SuperbFilms]

I think he means that you need to use your explosive skills to make you accelerate to get a good time.

[thupretty]

nice tips but i always have troble when the gun shots i was get startled but i always get first

[ddaavvee23]

its not called box u idiot..its blocks..dats how i kno u slow..u dnt even kno wat its called..yes dude under my comment is a idiot

[legok1d]

thanks for the tips on training, i am pretty fast but i have trouble exploding from the box do you have any more recommendations that will build the same muscles for exploding out of the box?

[SpeedTFM]

I ran a 10.9 earlier this year without cleats or a block and I just turned 17. Im a junior

[DelaneyGurl]

good vid but wouldnt reccomend for young runners

[JamaicanBalla23]

why

[GoingsGone]

yeah cause people break 9 seconds right...

[DelaneyGurl]

your an idiot people break 9 secs all the time

[GoingsGone]

yeah thats why world record is 9.69 right.

this guy is an idiot and so are you.

[JamaicanBalla23]

when he says "break 9 seconds" he doesnt mean 9 flat

[jtindahouse89]

I run track, It's break 10 seconds...

[JohnDesmoulins]

He probably means "break wind every 9 seconds"...

[fiestyhamster]

should you refrain from using your arms in order to maxamize the force on your legs?

[amazingsinger101]

Uhhh the faster you move your arms the faster your legs move o-o
