When was the last time you sprinted?

Blaendulais

At 52...everyday. Usually an hours cardio every day.  Feel really fit and never seem to pick up coughs and colds.  However its taken 5 years of not smoking at all and not drinking at all - you may not think its worth it.  I certainly dont.

I also don't seem to get sick very often.
Ithink I had a cold about 3 or 4 years ago. Also non smoker/non drinker

I am not 100% sure but I reckon it was on the sixth ball of an over.

To retain strike or avoid?

I make a regular attempt to out sprint my dog home from the top of the street and in 12 years of trying I have yet to beat him.
I used to run the 100m & 200m for school and I don't think when you get past 30 those fast twitch fibres do the business any more.

Scarlett the bulldog used to be super fast when she was a puppy- there was no way I could outrun her.
She is old and slow now.

Parent's race at my daughters' school sports day in June.  Didn't disgrace myself.  They do it as a relay though so you aren't quite as exposed.

My wife keeps telling me I look stupid warming up for it, but I'd rather look stupid than have a muscle explode.

I know how she feels : >

Mine is a 12 year old Labrador Retriever, named Jet and he is still living up to that name.

Monday - 5-a-side football. Short sprints as fast as possible.

Today is stair run day, so in the middle of a run in the local woods I'll be doing 10 x stair sprints, which entails running up and down a load of muddy steps.

edit: I'm 39, so not exactly old age

I get out of breath just watching other people run!

Last night as part of the warm ups for judo.

Still not fit enough as I was getting out of breath really quickly.

TheBlueWolf

I have two speeds.

Really slow and fuck you.

Easy, June 1979 - impossible since then.

The last time I Sprinted! that would have been the mid 60's in a pre metric 100 yards race.
I prefer swimming for my exercise, less wear & tear on the old joints etc.

I've started running with a few friends at the track by your house on a weds night if you are interested. @menamestom ;

Might be Matt, depending on what time you go?

Yesterday , uphill with 2 kettle bells. Kinda like a farmer walk but sprint.

1986. I was 14.
I ran the 100m in 10.9 seconds which at the time was very close to Olympic times.
I was very good at it and could do it again and again but could never get below 10.9.

Then life happened and i never did it again.

Growing up in Liverpool, you learn to run fast

Running is ungentlemanly.
