I have run consistent sub-40 second 300m, and my 55m FAT is a 7.12. Just wondering.

Hello,

I am a current high school junior, and am looking for a reasonably cheap college where i can study mechanical engineering. I would also like to run track (division 2/3). I have been looking at schools like Worcester Polytechnical Institute, Rensselaer, which are much too expensive, and the Catholic University of America.

GPA:3.45

SAT CR:670

SAT M:670

SAT Wr:660

PSAT:203

I have a lot of extracurriculars, am a math tutor and do community service.

I have a track meet tomorrow and will be running 300m and 4x400. I did a hard workout Monday and my legs were very sore today while running. I was considering taking an ice bath. Has anyone done this, and do you think it will help?

My current line up:

QB: Eli Manning

RB: Marshawn Lynch

RB: Roy Helu

Flex:Shonn Greene

WR: Larry Fitzgerald

WR: Steve Johnson

TE: Jimmy Graham

D: 49ers

K: Gostkowski

BENCH

Adrian Peterson

Antonio Gates

Jets D

James Jones

Laurent Robinson

Willis McGahee

Nate Washington

Should I put in AP? I feel like I should, but don't know who to take out. They are all projected to do well, and Peterson is only at 85%, according to espn. Any help is appreciated.

So on tuesday I pulled/strained my hamstring. I took a day off from running (im a sprinter) and then worked my way back into running. I have a meet on monday, so i have been stretching and icing my hamstrings a lot. This morning, i found that the uninjured hamstring was really swollen/big, right above my knee. Could this be from stretching/icing my hamstring too much? I have no pain, and the other injured leg is not swollen like this.

My current line up:

QB: Eli Manning

RB: Marshawn Lynch

RB: Willis McGahee

Flex:Shonn Greene

WR: Larry Fitzgerald

WR: Steve Johnson

TE: Jimmy Graham

D: 49ers

K: Gostkowski

BENCH

Adrian Peterson

Antonio Gates

Jets D

James Jones

Laurent Robinson

Roy Helu

Nate Washington

I was thinking of replacing McGahee for Roy Helu, because McGahee is listed as questionable. Any suggestions?

Winter track is starting at the end of November, and I need to get back into shape. I had a stress fracture in my spine, and was unable to train for a few months. I feel as if I am still pretty fast, but I dont feel I am on the same level i used to be. I run the 55m dash and I used to be quite good, and I do not want to lose my varsity spot. I have been looking around and have heard a lot about olympic lifts. I was wondering A) what exactly those are and a good schedule for doing them, and B) should i lift throughout the season, or would it hurt my times?

So next year I am going to be a Junior. My freshman year, for track, i ran the 100 meters in 13.5 seconds on average. Somehow, i managed to get it down to an 11.5 this year, but this still isnt enough for states :'(. From running, i got a stress fracture in my spine and am out of sports until about august. At this time, I am hoping to start training for sprinting, but i am completely clueless! I weigh about 135 lbs, 5'9.

Does anyone have any workouts that combine weight training and running excersizes to get this time down?

Also, 2 minor questions

1:what do you think about creatine/whey protein

2: My brace for my spine is like a corset, and i am beginning to breathe through my chest opposed to my stomach, would this affect my running if it stays like this?

In the black/gum.

Im a sophomore, and it is my first year running indoor track. In the 55, i ran a 7.2 with the lazer timer. What can i do to improve my time? I assume that you need to lift weights, but I really have no clue what i am doing.

for track, i run the 300 and 55, and some tracks do not allow spikes to be used, and the shoes i have now for sprints have a plate that makes them slippery on the floor. Should i try cross country flats?

I am 15, five feet and 8 inches tall. Not that weird. but i only weigh about 118 pounds. Im dont have any eating disorders, quite the opposite. I eat every 30 minutes. I am athletic, i am involved in many sports, but am i unhealthy?

Im a sophmore in highschool, and i run track in the winter and spring. I do the triple and high jump events, and i want to get better at jumping. I am about 5,8 or so and can just barely touch the rim on a basketball hoop. I have looked at strength shoes, jumpsoles, and the vertical jump bible and i am unsure of which to buy. I am leaning more towards the jumpsoles, but I am unsure of whether or not it will actually help.
