Fluctuations in times for young sprinters.

omg 12 seconds? thats horrible for a senior record… maybe it was 11.0 not 12.0

12.0 is like running a 5.2-3 40 yard (i think) man our school record is 10.9 and that not that good even.

Thanks a lot for the reply Dcw. Assuming that the timing is accurate (and I’m pretty sure that it is, one of the main reason’s being that I’m always within a tenth of a second of PB on the fastest one unless the weather is really awful) would just getting more experience be the best way to deal with this instead of looking for a quick fix?

The fact that you can get that close to your PB every workout means that its more likely technique related. As your rhythm and race model develops the fluctuations are going to be more likely worout to workout and will be from freshness/fatigue/stiffness etc.

My bad guys, the 12.01 time was incorrect. The website had the time wrong, and I looked at the board at school today and the 100 record is 11.01 for guys. The same guy has the 200m record at 22.7…I’m gonna try to break one of those before i graduate

That sounds better. That is right inline with my old high school records (11.0 for 100 meter) but the 200 was very fast 21.95 and a hi 47 I think for the 400m)
