100 Meter Progression: Level 1 Completed.

Level 1 Completed.

In my blog post called This is what I figure I talked about some checkpoints I wanted to hit. One of which was to get right around 12 seconds for an all out 100 meters sprint.  Today I hit that checkpoint and next week I will be moving on to the 200 meters.  This is how my progression went.

Date            Time
6/9/11         14.01
6/16/11       13.62
6/23/11       13.51
6/30/11       13.03
7/7/11         12.23

Now, before you think I'm incredible or something I have to admit that I bent the rules a little, emphasis on the "bent" part, meaning I did not break them.  The time trials the 9th through the 30th I did the 100 m from a standing start, but this morning I thought, you know, if I had a running start I think I could hit my goal.  So that's how I did the 12.23 was with a running start.  I figure with the 200 m where after 100 m I keep running, meaning I don't have to stop and start again, that a running start for a 100 m time trial should be fine.  I feel good about it.
