With training, do you feel you could run a 4.8 40?

[Enfuego]

Or is 5.0 more realistic?

In High School a ran a 5.0 & 4.9
I was Wayyyyyy Younger and more fit.

Today .. even with Training .. Don't think I could break a 5.6 or 5.7

 

[festeringZit]

Short answer: nope

 

[CHOPTALK]

I bet you could run close to a 4.8 fz

I'm getting old... I strained my hamstring 2 weeks ago during a sprint playing ultimate frisbee :-(

Hey just wanted to remind you about the WSOP
new Orleans in may
.

[Seymour]

a few years ago I went to the track to run some sprints - after 3 100's I had pulled both hamstrings - with training I think I could run a 4.9 - as a kid that's what I could run - maybe I'm kidding my old ass

To be honest i don't think training has much to do with it.

You're either born with speed (and athletic ability) or you're not...

 

[cgarn]

In my prime absolutely.

 

[SmallDaddy]

If you couldnt run a 4.8 in high school or maybe in college, you wont be able to do it now. ( and you can train as long as you want)

People dont seem to realize how fast 5.0 is.

 

[HacheMan]

Darrell Green still ran a 4.4 at 40 years old.

If you have some speed to begin with, whatever it may be, taking care of yourself means you COULD maintain it even with age...

 

[rickardodry]

None of u fuckers ar running a 4.8

move on

True but 40 times are "kinda" about speed. We all hear of the companies that can shave half a sec (or more) off your time with proper technique and starting tips. Then there are all the reports of a kid having a great 40 time but his games speed sucks.

Right it's like punching power or dunking a basketball

With a lot of training you can minimally improve it but 90% of it is God given

 

[slapshot]

if training is what it took everyone could do it

Can a regular posting rx board member break 4.8 40?

yes- +10000
no- -9000

 

[Hamilbet]

A little reminder...
And I would bet he is in 10 times better shape than most people on here.
