Hi Im in 7th grade (12) and just started running track. Today I ran the 100 meters for the second time, and got timed. I clocked in at 13.7 seconds. Is that a good time? When I finished I wasn't short of breath at all and I felt like I could've gone faster but I was so far ahead of the other runners that I guess I didn't have a lot of motivation. I really want to get good and get a faster time. ~What are some things I can practice to improve?~ (ex:drills, exercises...etc)

  1. that is a really good time actually!! :) that's as fast as the record @my school 4 the girls!! just keep practicing and find something that will help motivate you!!


  2. I have friends that cannot run a 13.7 and they are freshman (males).  I think you are doing pretty good, but concentrate on front squats and leg buildling exercises.

  3. The best way to get better at running is to practice, practice, practice, but sometimes that isn't as easy as it sounds. The biggest part of improving your running is motivating yourself to get out there, as well has having the proper schedule and routine by knowing when to rest.

  4. man im a 8th grader n i could run the 100 in 12 flat!!! last year i won the national ny state champion i cmae in 1st place

  5. yes that is a very good time but i would beat you by miles in my prime

    what you should do is run on a treadmill and train your feet and legs

  6. Wow you definitely are fast! That is actually a super good time.

    Well your motivation should be that you are doing well and want to do better!

    Just keep on running and practicing. Eat right and excersise.

    Hope this helps!
