Kung Fu Kenny- underrated

72 Upvotes

Bednarek has 3 silver global medals ( 2 Olympic. 1 world championship), and 2 diamond golds ( 2021, 2024). He’s one of the most consistent 200m runners in this generation.

He might never win gold on the global stage, but he should go down as an all-time great

200m, 400m, mile split timing app for coaches

Upvotes

Because I was unimpressed with the available options and wanted a good solution to help with our local xc and track teams, I've built a new iphone / ipad app called RunRaceTrace.

I still have to build out some race distances and make other refinements but right now you can test with the fake team roster I've built into the app or delete those and add your own athletes' names with many settings to customized distances (800m, 1500m, 1600m, etc) as well as lap length (indoor-200m, outdoor-400m, XC-mile).

I am looking for feedback since my background is more in Nordic skiing and I want to make sure this is useful and what features might be missing. I've not yet built instructional videos but if you click around and test things with the fake roster I think you'll get it. Testflight link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/fAcp7HXX

It is not yet available on the app store, just through TestFlight for app testers. Once available I am thinking that I would offer for a very small annual subscription but I am open to feedback on that as well.

Training Advice Looking for feedback from anyone who truly understands lactic training for 100m

3 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking a lot about how the lactic system actually plays a role in the 100m—not just the longer sprints.

Ended up writing this thing.

Should be right. But could be totally off—it’s never a good idea to blindly follow your own thoughts without a reality check.

That’s why I’m hoping to consult here with people who understand this better than me—to explain, perhaps correct me so I am not pointing athletes (including myself) in the wrong direction.

Here’s the link if you’re up for a read:
https://jdnathlete.wixsite.com/home/post/the-complete-guide-to-lactic-system-training-for-100m-sprinters

(yeah I still haven't bought a domain lol)

Just trying to make better stuff for sprinters in Slovakia, but can't do it alone. I thought I could, but I need an external dialogue as well. So, appreciate any thoughts you’ve got.

Just curious, had Jakob been in last night's GST 5k, do you think he could've closed with a sub-50 last lap?

18 Upvotes

I would say yes with his 1500m speed, though the race might not be nearly as slow it he's in it.

Weekly Discussion / Question / Tips post (also links to FAQs)

1 Upvotes

The following topics Cannot be made as their own posts, but are allowed topics in the Weekly Discussion thread:

  • Questions about what to do for training.
  • Questions about what event to do.
  • Questions about what you could do at another event or do in the future.
  • Questions about if you could make it in college track.
  • Asking if you're good for your age/grade.
  • Asking if you should do track. People are just going to say yes, anyways.
  • Food/Nutrition questions.
  • Injury related questions.
  • Questions about how to run a specific race.
  • Questions about what shoes/spikes to use
  • Form check videos

Within this Weekly thread, you can talk about anything track related. If you ask a basic training question, you'll most likely be met with the response of "Read the FAQ", so here is the link to the FAQ post: [FAQs](https://old.reddit.com/r/trackandfield/comments/mlv33q/faq_central_sprinting_faq_distance_faq_how_to/)

This switch is to make fit for everyone. You can talk about your own specific track related stuff in the Weekly thread, and more general Track & Field stuff goes in the rest of the subreddit.

Here in Eugene to watch my daughter and her teammates run on the iconic Hayward field. Just a hobby photographer, but spent the whole day shooting the races they were in, and love the way this one of her fellow Bruin turned out. They dominated the SMR in 4:06.

We know the prize breakdown, but does anybody know the rest of the cost structure?

Like how much the signage athletes get, how much the challengers get. I assume hotels and transportation are taken care of?

Steeplechase Question

2 Upvotes

Hi all, quick random question that I can’t find the answer to anywhere else. Where is the steeplechase pit on the track? And how does it look when not in use? I’m assuming they build it into the ground when the track is being installed. Does every track have one? Or do people have to get them installed in order to host steeplechase races? TIA for any info you can share! I don’t run track or anything, so if this kind of post isn’t allowed, I’ll take it down.

The distance to the finish line

3 Upvotes

I know nothing about track, but I keep getting videos about it on TikTok and now I’m wondering how all of the runners having the same finish line is fair. Some of them start further back than others but they still have to catch up and run further. How does this work?

Would any track & field coaches here want to help create a separate coaches sub-reddit? I don't really know how to do it but I feel like there are enough of us here that it would be a beneficial side conversation.
