Is this a good time...200meter???

Question

I'm a 13 year old girl (14 in july) and I run the 200 meter race on my middle school track team. My best score so far has been 29.94. I have had no earlier training AT ALL and this is done without spikes, but with plain running shoes. Is this a good time? And are there any techniques I could work on? Tips would help! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Answer 1

well thats preety good since youve just started. All you need is to get stronger and work on your technique, I suggest that you do alot of speed work

Answer 2

well if you just started its okay....

but if you really want to be better.. you have to work out each day... no matter in what mood you are.. how bad teh weather is...or something else.. give always 110 % and never quit.. and I think you can be around 25 sec. soon.... good luck...

ps. my time for 200m is around 20-22 secs.

Answer 3

Considering you have not done much previous running, that is a great time. I am a distance runner, so that sounds especially good to me, i can only run it in about 40 secs

Answer 4

That's a real good time, considering that the top time in our league this year was a 25.2. You should definitely make the investment into some spikes - make sure you get sprint spikes, as there are different kinds. Good for you, and keep working at it!

Answer 5

that's a good time

make sure ur form is good

like keep ur elbow's at a 90-degree angle

and for the start

take quick steps during the acceleration

btw- spikes and blocks (for starting) improve ur time by like a second

Answer 6

That is a really good time! Just keep at it and you could try to strengthen your legs a bit which will make you run even faster.

Good luck!!
