@UW Students, of course the graphic sucks.. I pride myself of being the Craigslist of Track and Field… I don’t even have a logo! No frills, it’s CONTENT that matters! (and what the stopwatch says, of course)

no asafa powell is not fast run like usain bolt becoz
usain is get full extention & when he start 100 meter &
also he is don’t focused on other compititors……….

& he is very very great man…..

Do you have the 10m splits for Michael Johnson and Usain Bolt over 200m? I always thought that Michael ran mid-race splits faster than anyone over any distance. It just seemed that he held his top speed over a longer period than anyone.

[...] mph over 50 meters or so, but that would be about it. Bolt, on the other hand, attained a pace of .82 seconds per 10 meters during his world-record sprint: 27.3 miles per hour, or nearly twice as fast as I can [...]

[...] 200m = 100m time x 2 (+/- 0.2) [...]

#Amr.
mate you have misinterpreted the entire article.
It has never been said that speed endurance wins the race. it is a no brainer that the equation is speed + speed endurance. it is possible for an athlete to win a 100m with a far slower top speed than another, but greater speed endurance, and vice versa.
consider a race where an athlete loses an average of 0.03s per 10m segment from 30-60m but gains an average 0.03s from 60 to 100m, given that they have the same start. The first athlete never goes any faster than, say, 0.90s per 10m whereas the second goes at least as fast as 0.87s per 10m. as the athletes decelerate towards the end of the race, it appears as if the athlete with the slower top speed is speeding up, when in reality he’s just not decelerating as much as the others. Carl Lewis is a classic example of this. at the end of races he was actually slowing down- like the rest, the difference was that he slowed less than the others.
the opposite is also true, if you hit tops speed earlier than the others, or your top speed is greater than the others, then you can still win even with the worst speed endurance. But the key is a mix of speed and good speed endurance. No one ever has been able to run 100m without slowing down, and until then, the race will always have a speed endurance component. Whether it negates an athlete’s acceleration or top speed is the question.

i can run 100m in 12.02s. i timed my self for 30m and i found that i i could run it in 3.91s, is that possible or have i timed it wrong
