Anybody here ever actually run the 40?
Curious to see if we have any other athletes out here.
I don't have a stopwatch. Maybe I should see if one of my friends does and get some jackass to time me. What's your 40 time? |

This on both accounts.
I did speed training @ Maryville the summer before my senior year. I ran a low 4.6 before we trained, but never got my "after" 40 times because I went on vacation to fish in MN. I am sure I got faster in straight line speed, but the biggest difference was made in agility. If any of you have kids in sports and have the opportunity and ability to send them to one of these programs you should do it. They last 3 months through the summer typically -- I think 2 or 3 times a week, I don't remember anymore. Not real fun while you are running on the giant treadmill going 15 mph at 15 degree inclines for several minutes at a time (my friend reminded me of this via text). There are some more interesting plyo stuff or rubber bands. The 4 square was kind of fun, especially on one foot. For me to "graduate" I had to run 20 mph, 0 degree incline, for 6 seconds. I was 6'2" and roughly 180lbs then (ten pounds lighter now).

We ran 40's to practice for 60's (indoor track), it was good training for getting out of the blocks quick. I have no clue what my times were, that was 35 years ago. I remember the short guys always did the best.

I did once but it was on asphalt and I was in basketball shoes. I don't remember what it was. Terrible.

I typically ran 4.9-5.1 if that makes you feel any better. And it was only once. I never touched 4.7 again. Hell, never got a 4.8
I had probably taken a huge dump just before the run... thats good for like 15 pounds right there. |
