if they are only 10,000 or 11,000 each, i think i can get them up for a while, though only one at a time. ill look into a few methods of doing this, then ill pm you with the details.
or actually, i just read the thread again… if aln could post the video it would be appreciated. ive never seen the edmonton race and i want to.

Oh dude, thanks so much. I’ve been looking for that for a long time. What a race, huh? He was flying from 50-70…Too bad about the injury though.

Charlie_Francis:
The benefits of a harder track are not so simple. While it is clear that more of the energy put into the track can be returned, which should help everywhere, there is another consideration (which we’ve touched on before on other threads). On footstrike ahead of the center of gravity in the full upright position, there are greater resistive forces to be tolerated, reducing some of the benefit that accrues after. This is not the case in the pure acceleration phase where the foot lands behind the CG. this is why the benefit is so clear in the first 30m and less clear later.
The hardness of the track is designated by number and the lower the harder. The IAAF originally specified that tracks were to be a compromise running from the hardest of 28 to the softest of 80- favourable for distance runners)
All the people you listed did improve from Tokyo on, as I pointed out. Rome was harder than Seoul (28 vs 32), but nowhere near as hard as Tokyo (13) and Atlanta (11)!
I have a meeting coming, next 3rd september,
100 and 200 on the same day. The track is the hardest i´ve ever seen. A friend of mine who competed there before, got a ham injurie at first heat. So, would be helpfull if i run once a week this last 2 weeks before the meet ?

If you mean once a week on the harder track before the meet, it’s probably a good idea.
