can i run a 4.4 in one year

[Blackhitmen]

i run a 4.7 4.69 now so can i run a 4.4 at the end of the year of 2008?

[kevn594]

if you do everything right and probably still no.

alot of it has to do with genetics. its like asking "can i weigh 300lbs of all muscle in a year?"
even if you workout for 10 years, it still might be genetically impossible for you

[CLiTMASTA]

no, maybe 3-4 years if you have beast genetics

[rush33]

I won't say that it is impossible, I will say that it is improbable. If you are willing to dedicate 4-5 days to it per week by getting stronger and doing a lot of speed work, it is definately possible.

[Blackhitmen]

i dropped my time from 5.1s and on in like 3 weeks
but they say when you get to 4.6
its harder to get it down
is that true?

it gets progressivly harder as the number gets smaller no matter who you are

depends bro... how strong are you? howm uch do you weight?

If ur squating lets say only 1.5 x ur bodyweight then i dont see why not...

If ur squating 2 times your bodyweight and ur already quick then u should be faster

[exacto]

still good, i run a 5.2 and i need to improve still...

better than a lot of people in this world, so just be happy.

Once you hit that 4.7 level, its a bitch to get under. I've been in the low 4.7's for awhile now, and im barely creeping along to get under a 4.7.

[farzamk]

Fullback, more speed work + losing some fat will help.

As well as the stretching I told you.

Now as for this, no you wont. Honest answer, to get there you require genetics + flawless training.

[Ben76]

Since you've already gotten your big speed gains its pretty much impossible unless you are completely untrained pretty much and have world class genetics.

[farzamk]

Yes to get under a certain point, its genetics mostly and for many I have seen, some small weaknesses which will give you a few hundreths.

[roid_monkey]

no

if your running a 4.69 with no prior training than yes it is possible if you are doing the right things 5-6 times a week, but if you have already been working out, i dont see it improving that dramatically

[mjoffball]

I ran a 4.66 when I was a beginner in lifting and around a year later with proper training I was down to a 4.4-4.45, so it is possible depending on your situation. I ran a 4.66 with maybe a little more then a month of training so when I went to the 4.4 area it was because I didn't have much lifting experience and wasn't reall running at all before and I got a lot of beginner gains.

[Blackhitmen]

hahahaha i feel so blessed we upper clas humans kick ass
were the next generation suckers!!! lol

he's probably a troll.

4.7 at 17 is not that impressive, especially considering teens rarely run a legit time. Usually a jacked up handheld.

4.4, U IN NFL?

[Blackhitmen]

your not very smart read what we were talking about

[endorphinjunkie]

what the hell. how are all of you running 4.6s and 4.7s. My best time was a little less than 5.0 [i.e 4.95, 4.96, etc]

You are also only 15.

[xcmikeyd08]

leg weights.

its almost like a cheat. If you can put strap on weights on your arms and legs do 95% full sprint for the 40 then get a solid 2 minute rest with the weights on. Right before you start before your real one take all the weights off. I dropped mine from a platued [meaning i couldnt get quicker] 4.8 to a 4.72. A little trick my coach taught me actually.

Its the same mentality cross country runners have before races. They do 150 meter sprints about 5 times just minutes before their big race, so when it comes race time, the pace of the race seems a lot easier than if you were to just go out and with no sprints. No guarentee but worth a shot. good luck. And no that will not drop you to a 4.4, but could drop you a .1 if your realll lucky and your time keeper has a quick hand. Also consider track spikes because they are sick light. good luck bro and start training.

4.4, U IN NFL?

No, I am only 18(almost 19) I don't think 4.4 is very good considering my size.

You must not run a 4.4 then or you don't know what speed is....

[Beastinthemakin]

actually it depends. From personal and social experience, the rule is that most people speed threshold at about 4.4, unless they are naturally born with speed. and in theory a person can take .2 seconds off their time eveyr 2 months of prper training.However, there is proven evidence that with out maintence of strength and and proper training that this boost of speed is temporary as like vertical jump.

and as for fast, most people consider anyone 18 or under and runs less then 4.5 is elite to most scouts.

dude i think under 4.5 for anyone is damn good lol

[dochall22]

it's possible, do the right stuff and you'll do it, i always heard straight leg dead lift helps out with running!

[Randeep.Singh]

what distance are you guys talking of here?
