30 m times

I saw splits from asafa’s 100m somewhere on this forum. It said he ran 30m in about 3.85. Man, come on, it can’t be correct? Isn’t world class sprinters way faster? I run 3.88 in the 30m and I’m not especially fast. What do you guys run?

Welcome to the world of FAT.

You ran 3.88FAT and with reaction time?

was yours 3.88 on the fly? But yes even if your 30m segment is that fast, how long can you keep it up?

ooh, I didn’t about that, smart :rolleyes: …my 3.88 was standing, but with sensors. Well how fast are world class sprinterns at 30m, if they run with sensors?

So what does “with sensors” mean?

Sensors are used to measure his ‘flying’ 30m time…

3.85 seconds from the start and with reaction time. Fly 30m for those guys? Around 2.55 seconds.

Do you have a sensor at the start that triggers the timer and a sensor at the end that stops the timer?

Or is the timer started by a touch pad near your hand?

Or is the timer started by a clapper with a switch?

LOL…This dude already has negative post marks!? come on guys…cut him some slack!! LOL!!! I wouldn’t get too caught up in 30m times…they’re good indicators of accel I suppose but I don’t know any 30m Olympic or World medalists…do you? :smiley:

2.5 for for 30 meters. Yah. Ok.

.85+.85+.85=?

Well me neither. Why I’m asking is because here in sweden, we test our 30m times(I’m playing handball). So I just wanted to know how fast you can run it. Sensors at the start and end, strats when you cross them, Not flying

If the timing doesn’t include reaction time at the start then sprinters can run ~3.67 at best.

Unless it is the way they do it in bobsled and crap like that where they give you a “1m fly” but do not call it that (I remember when CT posted a bunch of elite bobsled times and got called out on it because they ran 6.7-6.8 60m but ran faster than 6.3 60m to 30m).

He said flying start, for example look at Carl Lewis’, Greene’s and Powell’s fastest 10m split of 0.83 and add a couple 0.85 to it, what do you get?

If you mean from the start, then yes 3.67 without reaction time.
