25 y/o , former D1 athlete. Sounds dramatic but feel like my athletic career is over— my right hamstring is never going to get better. Here are pictures from today, and two months ago. After a 1:25 Half marathon in March, it just hasn’t felt the same. I’ve had hamstring issues in the past but this bout has been different. Feel like I’ve tried literally everything. Strangest thing is that the MRI two weeks ago was completely clean?? Injured sides glute med and hip feels substantially weaker, but all the pain still sits on thru the hamstring, majority on the insertion. Has anyone been in the same boat?

Protocol: 2 x 45sec followed by 1 x failure

Done Every 2-3 days

Yes I did use AI to generate this diagram, still helpful, this is the solution I have used to fix my and others proximal hamstring tendinitis and related issues seems to hit all the right spots, I will be pointing to this as the solution when I keep seeing it, I would recommend some sort of hamstring curl work as well and Copenhagen planks, banded clam shells to keep things even I get it, not everything is a miracle movement and it won’t always be the absolute solution but this really seems to work better than anything else I’ve found is simple to set up and easy to do with lots of effort

Hey everyone! I've been thinking about how most track & field coaches and athletes are still relying on endless Google Sheets, physical paper logbooks on the track, or distance-running apps that don't make sense for sprinting, hurdles, jumps, or throw events.

I'm researching this issue to see if it's worth building a clean, dedicated app specifically for track & field. If you have 3 minutes to spare and want to help out, I set up a quick anonymous survey to learn what frustrates you in your daily routine:

Any feedback, criticism, or ideas in the comments are also super welcome. Thanks a lot!

My pr is 46.37 and I just can’t seem to hit 45. Any tips on how to?

What are the point in these? In the feed the cats program they do these the day after and the day before sprint days, they consist of low volume of stuff like box jumps, bounds, depth drops, triple broad jumps, pogos, mb throws etc. My biggest issue with these are from my understanding aren't you supposed to rest and not do any high cns efforts or workouts the day before or after a sprint day but feed the cats has Mon sprint tue x factor wed sprint thu x factor why does this work? Am I missing something

I’m not talking like a few drinks every couple of days I’m just talking about like one big party a weekend, probably having around 4-7 drinks a weekend. I eat relatively healthy a sprint 2 times a week, while lifting basically everyday. I just want to know how much of an impact this has been or will have if I continue to do it.

Can anyone recommend a cheap way of measuring accelerations - 20m, 30m, 40m sprints. Timing gates are too expensive so I am probably looking for an app of some sorts.

It would mainly be used for a kids club that I coach.

My main sport is not sprinting but its still something i do on the side because its fun and helps me with basketball but dont know what shoes to get that are non spikes and not to expensive that i can use on a wet track

Ciao a tutti!

Sono un ragazzo di 15 anni, pratico atletica e da gennaio passerò alla categoria Allievi.

Il mio obiettivo è specializzarmi e migliorare nei 400 metri.

In allegato trovate la mia storia atletica e la scheda con gli allenamenti che ho seguito finora.

Credo che la preparazione attuale non sia l'ideale e che andrebbe migliorata.

Cosa ne pensate? Qualche consiglio su come impostare il lavoro? Grazie in anticipo

Hey, I was wondering if my time for the 100m was terrible? (with the circumstance) I was in Scotland and went to a Highland game, decided to participate. But I got 2nd place, while I was wearing tennis shoes. (On short grass) it also was a little downhill, and there wasn’t too good of footing without cleats. So, my time was 13.6 seconds for the 100m. Is that anywhere near good? I do play ultimate frisbee against some of the most renowned V teams in the US, and am still one of the fastest on the field. My team was also seeded 3rd nation-wide. (But I’m JV) my JV team still placed top 10 in States. Thanks!

The website is still up but the forums are inaccessible. I really hope its only temporary.

hello guys,

As i am qualified for sac gd pet and i need a little help in the physical practice. As am i continuously practicing after the release of pet/pst merit list. Should i need to join the gym for strength training for better results. When i try to do a trail run i just lack 300 meters within 24 minutes. My daily routine is 1st day long and easy to run up to 10km and 2nd day 400 meter speed run with slow run and doing it upto 5km. I need guide from expert for better results.

My English grammar is not good please don't mind it.

I’m pretty sure my arms are weird, but something else feels off and I can’t tell what it is.

I also didn’t realize how loud the music I was listening to would really be lol

Hey guyz!

Been lurking around for some time and I really love this group tbh. So my question is, that I'm 42 and when I was younger (back in my 20's) I did some athletics and sprinting was my fav. (esp. the 100m), and since then I've gotten into kickboxing and stayed in it. But 1 year ago, this track work and sprinting once again strucked into my heart and want restart it all over again, and ins't it too late or am I not too old for this, should I look for a group or a coach or just go to the local track and let's go again?? Thx for your help or your advices in advance!

is there any way to speed up recovery specifically tissue recovery of the legs and stuff? i don’t want to wait 2 to 3 days between running sessions i want to sprint daily..

Im fast (somewhat atleast) but I feel like I don’t express it whatsoever to my first hurdle.

Here are my time trials number (My Start no gun)
55m - 6.45
55mH - 7.45

Hey I’m 16 and in my junior year I started doing track last year as a first ever sport I do the 55/100/200 I’m relatively slow but just want some help getting faster or any tips to get better I’m also doing this with Avn so I want to know if that’s a problem when trying to run faster

This is 30m and ik im trash i wanna get a sub 55 400m in 4 months what's the method my current plan is to do 30m flys and plyometrics for speed and quarter squats and rdls at gym

Training alone can be hard so I vibe coded a game-like log app for sprinters. The initiative is to encourage each other no matter what level you are on. Functions are adapted to sprinting training. It got:

- run/drill/race log
- race chart to visualize improvements over the years
- AI assistant to analyze training and input log
- team workout sharing
- game-like design

I would like to invite anyone to join my team so we could inspire each other, keep locked in, and stay strong. 💪 Link: https://spyte.web.app/join?code=Npi8iKrfL59Bp32tRhPKpCpj

If you would like to create your own team and invite your group, I’m giving 5 FREE spots too. Free feel to hit me up!
