Answer 1

Answer 2

well the world record is 9.72 usain blot

wheni was year 7 i was a bout 13- 12 seconds

keep working out or fo to you local club

Answer 3

Well...  the world record is sub-10.00.

I'm not sure about amateur racing, as the world record was obviously set by Olympic-caliber athletes.  As far as drills go, the two main things I'd work on improving on would be the push-off and your stride.  If you can get off the block quickly, you'll get to top speed much faster...  and if you can improve your technique and your stride, you should shave off quite a bit of time.

Answer 4

Thats great well done! I would aim for 13 seconds next time. You would improve by runing on your toes and bring your knees up. Also, make sure that your arms are not crossing your body because that's just wasted motion. and also, keep your chin up.

Answer 5

I think that's a pretty reasonable time for a 7 year old or are you in year 7 at school ?, the fastest i ever did was 11.2 when i was around 18, i think the record was 10. something at the time so i was well pleased but sadly it was something i never really got into, it was always football back in the 70's, hence to say i ended up with dodgy legs and ankles, can't even run for a bus anymore (lol)

Keep going and set yourself targets, your sure to improve with age and you never know one day you could be representing GB at the Olympics.

Answer 6

to the 1st person, no 7 year old can run an 11.6, and tha is decent, i wod mainly say get ur abs stronger( situps)

Answer 7

thats pretty lousy to be fair, when i was in year 7 the fastest a kid could do it was 11.6. Now 4 seconds is a h**l of a long time... aim for atleast 13 secs!
