My quest for 6.7

The 30m time I ran (3.65) at the tryouts put me in their World cup Elite standard range which is the highest level. Losing weight would definitely help me run faster times in the 60m (especially my top speed). I’ve been trying to lose a few pounds lately. My competition weight will probably be around 195. I’m a big guy in general so thats as low as I can go.

The way the 30m is timed is a little deceiving. The 1m fly zone makes a difference when compared to a touch pad type of start. I know that someone that ran 3.52s (the record for bobsled) for the 30m has run a 6.6 in the 60m and 10.3 in the 100m officially.

If I were to go full out for bobsled there is a couple things I would change in my training. Sled sprinting would be a larger part of the training and Max V would be secondary. Weight lifting would also take a larger part of the training and I would probably gain more weight (220lbs). Because with bobsled, the sled must equal a certain weight, so its better to have a bunch of big guys pushing a light sled then light guys pushing a heavy sled, regardless of how powerful they may be, its tough to push it.
