November 19, 200916 yr I'm a track athlete and I'm interested in what's your favorite event. (To watch and to perform in) Perform: 1. 400m: My best race. My PB is 52.88 seconds at age 15.2. 4x100m: Simply the best feeling ever. The whole school is cheering for you, and everyone's in euphoria when we take gold. PB: 46.91 seconds.3. Long Jump: Just fly :)... for 5.60 meters.4. 200m: Usually last individual race of the competition, so no other event is going on. Everyone's watching... :) PB: 24.52 seconds.5. Shot Put: Simply funny to see the look on people's faces when I throw farther than them (I look really skinny. BMI of 20.5) PB: 11.21 meters (5kg) 13.96 meters (4kg) Watch: 1. 100m: Two words: USAIN BOLT!2. 110m hurdles: The only event China wins :) (Chinese pride!)3. High Jump: Just wow.4. 200m: BOLT BOLT BOLT!5. Long Jump: Usain Bolt will be competing in the long jump soon :) Can't wait. 9 meter (...or 10 meter?) barrier going down.
November 24, 200916 yr I like the 100, 200, and 400m races the best, they are so short, but you feel so good after you win. Click here to become a Fan of an awesome Facebook page! Tell all your friends :D
December 2, 200916 yr noooo way jose. my thread has been around for almost 10 full months and has over 21 pages of posts. there is no reason that all running talk should be split across multiple threads. I'm very supportive of fellow athletes however i believe that we should revolve around a common thread.. i could see if mine was unactive but its getting posted on almost dailey. i'm sure you overlooked it.may i kindly direct you here- http://forum.tip.it/topic/230433-the-running-thread/ [size="5"][font="Georgia"][b]Staking:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#FFFF00"][/color][color="#00FF00"] 4+ mil[/color][/font] [font="Georgia"][b]Current Status:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#0000FF"] Training defense [/color][/font][/size]

I mean, who am i to say that new running threads can't be created? its just common sense that theres only a need for one thread. also, i just realized i may have come off as a bit too harsh in my post. i'll edit that.

December 4, 200916 yr Track and field is what I've been doing for last 11 years. I've specialized at high jumping in a last few years.My PB so far is 2.12m (6'11,5")http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epawF3agM3gMy goal atm is 2,18m which should get me to the U23 European Champs. Other events are quite crappy tho. 100m ~12slong jump 5,85m (haven't done this for quite a few years already, I should jump like 6,70m by now)pole vault 3,70m

December 7, 200916 yr Nice :) any tips on how to improve my high jump technique?Some of the things you can control by yourself to some extent are:Run speed: steady and relaxed in the beginning and aggressive and accelerating in the last 4 steps.Your body angle should be as much away from the bar as possible in the apex.The take-off direction should be towards the end of the bar not directly at it. This will keep you flying up for a longer time. And ofcourse practice practice practice.
