Journey to sub-11 (So Far)

- Short video I made on imovie of a mediocre amateur sprinter trying his hardest to break the 11 second barrier.
Basically I re-entered the world of athletics in autumn of 2014 aged 22 after 4 years of binge drinking at university. I used summer 2015 to prepare myself for the winter so times were not that great. Winter occurred and luckily for me I picked up no injuries, zilch, nada it's been great. So..... I'm looking super forward to 2016. If I run a 11.2 I'll be happy but God believe if 10.99 happens I will be throwing the biggest fuck off party ever.
The tune is Brookfield - by Arkist & Komon, pleasee don't block the video!!
Update: Got injured 2 weeks after making this video :(
Ended up getting a job which took me abroad and could not train.
Despite this I was really happy with where I got too. I know physically if I was able to stay fit the 10.9 was definitely under threat. However with my new job I'll have to leave it at this!
Carl Rendora I feel awful. I hope you will be able to start sprinting again.
Carl Rendora How much were you making when you were a sprinter?

Was it a hamstring injury? Sorry to hear you got hurt.
Nope, twisted my ankle whilst playing soccer. Rookie error. The taking up of the job ended my chances. I'm back training again, but it's not realistic this season maybe next!
Your form is a thing of beauty to watch
You just got yourself a new sub bro. It's awesome to. Finally see stuff like this on here for the not so "elite" ppl. It's a grind. I respect you. Keep pushing
He stopped 2 weeks after the making of this video due to an injury and got a job which did not allow him to train
Love the video man, I'm trying something similar at 26 years old. Started at 13.68 hand timed in January, now at 12.40 FAT. Still have a body fat percentage of 25% as well so I still have 10kgs of fat to lose. Watched this video when I started focusing on sprinting in March and its been a big motivator for me. Thanks, and I hope life has treated you well since this video.
You're an inspiration! Im 17 years old and I run 11.5, like you, I'm hoping to break the sub 11 barrier by my senior year. Because of this video, I'm determined to work even harder during the summer and run at some summer meets in my area. God Bless You!
Nick Vasconcellos you go reach that goal I'm rooting for you ✊✊
Trysten Richey Thanks Bro✊🏾🤞🏾
@@nicholasvasconcellos6273 update me big bro, im 17 now.
Inspiring stuff! Being a mere 5'8 myself it truly gives motivation to see someone even shorter pursue their sprinting goals, even though nowadays the sport is dominated by taller guys! I'm pursuing the sub 11 mark aswell, only 4 tenths to go!
Samu Summanen at 5"8 you should be able to run extermly fast
Thats not quite how it works
Can you give me some tips on how to decrease my time , like what would a typical workout look for you?
Jaspal Singh you should be doing explosive workouts and really working your legs but also make sure you work upper body to even it out. To be the fastest you can be you wanna go for having the most strength at minimal weight
Trysten Richey by explosive workouts you mean like short distance sprints and stuff like that or?
At 5:29 you really appreciate the hard work and his dedication and commitment to training the fundamentals of sprinting. Great video! Also for those who do not know... Slow motion is to let us Sprint enthusiast to enjoy the poetry of sprinting.
3:54 i see that Asafa Powell foot drag out of the blocks!
Great video, very inspiring. I appreciate this kind of stuff bc I trained for the 1996 Olympics when I was 25 yo. I was in a very bad car accident in Dec of 1995 & blew my right knee out & hobbled my way to the finish line at 12 seconds flat in Jan of 1996 to a 10.99 in June 1996! But prior to my accident I ran a PR of 10.82 electric and 19.62 hand time. I'm going to run Master's this upcoming indoor season. I'll be turning 48 yo in Nov. So I'm excited about getting back into shape again. Thank you for the inspiring video.
That's unfortunate.
you have a very good form in the blocks!
I’m in the exact position as you bro! Ran 10.75 in school then took 4 years off so finish my degree and stated again (I’m 22 aswell) ,excited to see your journey bro!
I took about 8 years off, I just turned 23 now and started again, I used to run at 11.5 but now I suck I'm soo left behind, hopefully I could make improvements fast, what r ur records for 30/40 and 50m ? I used to run 30m at 4.01s now it's 5.2s :'(
@@yako668any updates?
Inspiring stuff! Great to see hard work, consistency and discipline mold a "mediocre amateur" into a real sprinter. Makes me want to do something like this to record my progress, hoping to break 12 seconds this season, 11 in the next. Best of luck to you
Me too this year tho😭
For a beginner how long does it take to reach 11 seconds?
U need good genetics
@@TheCommercialBreakk no
@@Ncraft2 depends on where you at. I needed only needed some months starting from 12 seconds
You need good genetics and like 3 years
work with like atleast 2-3 parachutes for crazy ass top speed i run a 11.1
i am 68 years old i do freestyle wrestling around the world and recently started hill sprints and level sprints
Amazing
I wish I could train seriously like you, but my shin splints got me screwed up
vvdof toororic man i know the feeling to
i feel ya! training on grass helps a lot, its because the track is so hard it inflames your ligaments after a while
Sagittarius excuses, excuses.
Really hope its sarcasm. Shin splints are a b!tch. Ive tried running through them for months, but it just keeps getting worse.
ChalkLitIScream Na man, I was just fucking around. Ik what that is
My sister lives near this track. So is the Toby Carvery which is the reason why I gave up sprinting.
Yo man, you broken it yet or what lol? Im doing the same thing, Ran 11.1, 100m hand timed Senior year high school and 22.1 200m hand timed, but fighting hammy injuries over different sports through uni lol - I'm outta uni now so just trying to get back into it. Awesome to see someone else was/is at the same point haha tryna break 11s! If u haven't good luck, if u have congrats ✌
me watching this as a 14yr old with 10.8 is actually fun since i get to watch someone progress and do as good as me
Last year at 15 I ran 11.08, this year I hope to run 10.89 or better! Let's go!
You were definitely quick for your height sorry to see no professional career in sports but for a lot of us great athletes it’s not in the cards :/ have to have the right connections and or right exposure to make it to pro level college is about as far as people are able to go without the right people seeing you play
Come back! I’m going for a sub 12 this season!(although I’ve been training with weights so I might already be at 11...however I wanted to know some workout that you did to better your time ?? Amazing vid btw!)
This is inspiring. I'm also trying to get sub 11. I'm currently a junior in high school and I justed started winter track a couple weeks ago but last year my pr for the 100 was 11.63 FAT. I've learned so much about sprinting since then.and have been training for a while so i feel like i can definitely reach my goal. when i self time i run in the 10's but i know it's not accurate. i had a friend time me at practice like last week. i clocked myself in at 10.32 then i let him time me right after and got he got me at 10.91. i just can't wait to run a real 100 already. I'm a great starter too the 55 / 60 are great for me. at tryouts i ran 6.44 hand time for the 55.
btw I'm 5'5. 5'6 on a good day lol
Lewi Astro no, you're fake asf
Mike Smith or are you just jealous?
Yeah he is fake for sure.
Nah he sounds fake as hell.
Irogami Lewis how did you get so fast what did you learn
I'm trying out this year for 9 th grade track and I run 100m in 11.39
Ready4Life stop lying you'd literally be a sprinting prodigy
@@trysten6277 we've got Freshman who run 11.4s and 5s over here in Illinois🤷🏾♂️7th graders run that at state meets.
My PB is 11.40 secs,,, i am 5.7 ,,18yo ,,,,,should i join Regular Coaching?
Im 250 pounds and my PB is a 13.01 u you think i could run a 11 if i was 50 pounds lighter?
yes
I have some info. 10lb kills the 40 yd by .1 and the 100m by .1-.2. If you keep most of your power and drop the fat you'll be alot quicker.
Good show. I would love to race you. A really strong take off, but slowed down midway and at the end. So work on those two points and you might get even faster. You've got good twitch.
Hey man nice video. Do you take any supplements, caffeine or vitamin pills before 100m race?
Either A: Carl has long strides for his height ,or B: his legs move really fast.
Its both
your start is beautiful
That old dude at the beginning got wheels tho
Started track in the 8th grade, i always thought i was slow. For the 100m i clocked in at 12.6 which isnt that fast but then i trained over the summer and got 11.8 so yeh
only 7000 people out of 70 Million, (Stats from Schools/athletics clubs brought by Essop Merrick) in the whole of the UK can run 13 seconds or faster! So what is not fast about 12.6?
Jelena Jenson really!?!?!?! I just turned 16 and My best run is 12.36 do you think I can get sub 12 or even in the mid 11 second range? I'm 5foot 8 and 64kg and I train a lot and work on my fast twitch muscles to get faster and more powerful also I'm 13% bodyfat will lowering my bodyfat get me faster?
yea im 13 and got a 12:38 then started getting some training and 2 weeks into the training i ran a 12:06. THe training is already helping
This is the internet, add 2-3 sec to the time everyone claims they run. I spoke to my co-worker, a P.E teacher from an elementary school and track coach for the best elementary and middle school track athletes in the city. He explained that the VAST majority of 7th to 8th grade boys (not in the track team) run 100m in 15sec. A 12yr old kid running 11 or 12 seconds would be considered a sprinting prodigy.
KX5Kat Haha I geuss I’m a sprinting prodigy then because yesterday I ran a 11:83 I’m 13. Except the kids at nationals at my age are a lot better for example the national winner this year in my age group ran an 11:30
One tip I can tell you is dont try to force yourself to have a good technique. Its obvious that you are doing so in all clips. Run with your natural running style the natural feel and slowly get to a better technique. I made the same mistake when I first started and after I stopped forcing myself into a good technique my times dropped dramatically.
prondox but it's good to have a good running technique if u don't have one(a lot of ppl don't so they run the way they want to) which is not good as in you won't get any better and u won't improve to your maximum potential
Besides the sled. Did you do anything else, like in the weight room? I'm trying to get sub 11 too.
How are you doing now bro?
great work..what was the slowest time you ever had before?
Good luck bro', I'm trying too
What did you start running at? Like what was your time before training.
How tall are you ?
I think the fastest freshman was 12.04 last year at our school. Fastest kid was 11.04
beautiful form!
At the start his hand wasnt hitting hard back enough to give him the elastic push but at the end it improved and can you run sub 11 now
Lol I am about to be 30 and never ran track in my life... I want to get at least sub 12. I might join the track and field for old people.
Justin Gatlin is 35, yet he is still doing sub 10's. 😉
JAW 39 bm Justin Gatlin is an Olympic athlete though
Hey quick question what was your diet like and what did you stay away from
Did you get under 11s??
He got injured 2 weeks after the vid. He stopped sprinting and got a job
@@alphonsokoukou1596 Damn...thanks for the response. I didn't see the comment
I'm trying to become a sprinter again too. Right now my 100 only 15 seconds😭😭
Gabriel Valdes-Ramos that is really good tho...
Update now?
40 yd dash ??
I get out the blocks before all my other competitors my problem is not knowing when to get out my drive phase , I’m 16 5’9 and I ran a 12.1 yesterday at my track meet, tips?
I have this same problem. I guess it goes away with experience but idk, still have the problem :/
The Interesting Informer I ran a 11.8 yesterday at my meet and I noticed that instead of forcing my head upwards I just tried to slowly come up naturally and did way better
@@sterlingstcyr6672 nice. Thx 4 tip!
What training did u do u should make a vid
Looks slow, but it's actually fast.
An Old Flame wym it looks slow?? It don’t in my eyes
An Old Flame it’s ur opinion anyway so whatever
@@JordanMcC it looks slow in my eyes because I run for a living, plus the background :D
But I know he is fast, just said it looks slow. Like how an ant looks like it moves slowly, if it's in a big room. The background makes him look slow.
Now imagine that ant in a small room. Makes the ant look much faster.
anyone got tips on how I can drop my 100m time? i'm 16 years old, 5'6. 145, and a sophomore in HS. the season starts in a month. my PR as a freshman was 11.32, but im trying to drop that a decent amount. i lift but not too consistently, and I know that my start is definitely a weak point in my race. any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you
You should try to do pylometric exercises and power training to build speed. By your junior year you should be fast bro🙏🏽
I have ran track for 2 years. Never trained. 16 years old 5’8 120 lb. I run an 11.5 for 100m and I was wondering what my next steps should be and how far I could get better.
melo07 just said you have ran track for 2 years but have never trained😂 bit ironic
Eat some food, for starters.
could you post a video on your current 100m time
I run a 10.8 and in highschool any tips to go d1 im(15) black 6'0 and 164
Hey, I just got an 11.3 and my aim is 10.8 what are your training methods
single leg squats now I run 10.52
@@parisbanks9609 bruh how u doing now 3 years later?
skt1 fenix the legend kid lowest I got was 10.45🤷🏽♂️
paris banks with weights or body weight? And any other exercise that worked for you?
-Vll- both a lot of explosive workouts such as box jumps,single leg squats, weight vest jog for Vo2 max improvement
Subscribed to follow your journey
You should make a new video since the season is over, what was your progress?
How old is this Guy???
Im 5’6 but i need tips to get faster any exercises or workouts to help with speed
Work on your abs if you don´t. Good route is to stay very active in the off season as I did with wrestling.
I did not run track. I was asked by my PE teacher to run the 100 m without a stretch, warm-up or anything physical
since wrestling season (4 mos.) Clocked a 10.985 on grass and broke a school record. I was a 17 yr. old junior, 132 lbs.
5´-10¨.
exsgt007 hand time?
he did it in like 12.58 seconds
That's pretty cute
I can run a sub-6!
That really sucks how tall were u bc im 5ft5 and i was running those same times 11.6 and 11.8 my freshman year of highschool
First year in track (7th grade) and I run a 12.67. Any suggestions on how to get into the 11s?
Keep aging and keep your form right and you'll get there
Nice
Ok currently a 7th grader and my PR is a 11.4
Good job
I wish I could run as fast as you but I can only reach 15.8 seconds :(
How old are you
this guy is seriously fast he looks 5ft 5" or shorter make him the hight of bolt and he would set a world record
Height has no effect on speed.
yes it does
well said, height only really matters when you reach the world stage
My pb was 13.01 i weighted 240pounds tho i wonder if i could get my time to the 11s if i dropped weight
I'm at 11.8 right now trying to get in the 10s
that starting is so good that it is gay
loll
I’m 5’8 and run the 100 and 200 but man I wish I was taller so I can run the longer distances too
The taller you are the worse you are at long distances... your height is what most 1500m runners are at
You are really fast according to your height
hey man can u watch my channel update video it’s a clip of me running i was wondering as a 5’3 short sprinter too i’m really explosive and strong i was wondering if you have any tips being a shorter sprinter also btw i saw this video two years ago and you inspired me since i saw you were really short and i was also the shortest sprinter in every race.
Is the end of the 100 just how long you can hold top speed
Dodger 123 the whole race is pretty much who can get to the top speed the fastest and who can hold it the longest
Respect
Your starts make my mouth water
tyrion?
This shit go hard!
i just start run for fun, my times slow af, 13 something and im 26, i will update on january 2020 my time :)
13 seconds here atm haha no technique, raw first try
That’s really good bro 💪🏾I was around the same on my first race 13.5 but two weeks later I dropped it to 12 just learning more technique you will be running 11s spon
Soon*
Bro is 3 feet 😂
What’s ur height
Whats your height?
I want to go Sub 10 on 100m
Im in 7yh and i ran 100 meters in 11.48 is it good?
I'm in year 3 and I run 9 seconds. Is that good?
Jake Unknown I'm a clump of cells yet to be born and I run the 100 in 8.6 seconds is that good?
nice!
keep it up man keep pushing lm aiming for sub 11 too
Dang dude i am only in 7th and i got a time of 12.58
Damn I like empty oval
Im 5’8 my PB is 11.4 but recently ive been running 12.1s which is pretty close but i want to get under 11.4 now and I can’t even get under a 12 any advice or workouts ? My stride is decent but could be better any adivce and tips on stride are needed as well.
Idk how to help you on that one my man. 12.1 and 11.4 is a pretty big difference. Could be a bad start, but with a drop that big you might be getting lazy with your form. Make sure the arms are swinging well, cheek to cheek. Drive off the front foot and pull the back one through with explosiveness. Knee up toe up, and keep your body relaxed.
If you’re still training did you make it to sub 11?
He got injured 2 weeks after the vid. He stopped sprinting and got a job
Wish the camera would stop slowing down, it is annoying.
The camera edits are awesome. It's called slow motion btw.
Anyone got tips for running a 10.99 or below 100m?
Depends on what you currently run and your level of experience
Woodford😝
2:55 white kid has the worst start ever
guyzz i am too slow i hav 12.08 ..can i make atleast a 11.8s please.
12.08 isn't slow at all, it's just not fast! If you already have 12.08 just keep training until you break 12 seconds.
Lmao i cant evem tell if its good
