100 Meter Dash

Work on block-work, and lift weights. Sprinting is all about form, and your muscles need to be primed to hold that form. However, even the best athlete will not be a good sprinter if his block-work sucks. It doesn't matter how fast you can run if you get out a full second after everyone else.

9.58 seconds
Think it was around the 9.62sec mark

between 5:30- 6:10 is a good time. Bernard Lagat is 38 and can run sub 4 minutes he is also a Kenyan born American and a multiple time world champion

The average time depends on the height, physical ability and weight of a person. I would say the average time would be around 6 to 7 min, more or less.

the fastest 100m dash was set by usian bolt with 9.69 seconds and for many olympic athletes their time averages around 10-11 seconds

Carl Lewis broke the world record in the 100 meter dash twice and tied it twice. On August 30, 1987 at a meet in Rome, Italy, he tied Calvin Smith's world record of 9.93 seconds. He ran another 9.93, tying the record again, at a meet in Zurich, Switzerland on August 17, 1988. He broke the world record with a 9.92 at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. He held the record for about three years until Leroy Burrell ran a 9.90 on June 14, 1991. That record lasted about 10 weeks until Lewis ran a 9.86 at a meet in Tokyo on August 25, 1991, reclaiming the world record. That record lasted for almost three years until Burrell ran a 9.85 in Switzerland on July 6, 1994.

If you walked at 5 km/hr (about 3 mi/hr), then you could walk 1 km in 12 minutes, and thus 200 meters (1/5th km) in 2 minutes and 24 seconds.

well iv been running track for a long time and the fastest sophomore that i have seen run the 400 meter dash is in 49.3 and my personal best a sophomore was a 52.6. Out of all of the people i have seen run it is either from 48.3 to 56.8 in a track meet.So if you run anywhere between the two you should be fine.

A fast time is probably 16 or 17 seconds!:)

The fastest person to run is Usain Bolt with 9.72 secs in100 meters.

At the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, Usain Bolt set the world record in the 100 meter dash, running the distance in 9.69 seconds.

A woman cannot run very fast. Most women will attempt to run but at the most they may be only able to achieve a slow jog. One may know that a woman is attempting to run if she is moving with an elongated stride, arms swing wildly as well as hands unclasped that are never raised above the waist.

Yes, assuming it was timed by qualified officials or by fully automatic timing.

like 7flat or 6.50. so if you run a 5.90 your fast, you run a 6.50 your slightly fast, 7.20 or 7flat that's average. 8 you need improvments

i think that 7 is slow for a freshman im an incoming freshman 6 2 about 200 and run a 5.3

He was the fastest runner in the world but then he was doping because he didn't beleive in himself and thought if he wasn't the best no one would like him. He also got a world record for sprinting.

Most experts believe that Bob was never officially timed. There was no need to. He was the world's fastest human by far and that included the NFL. Estimates range from him running a 4.2 to sub 4.2

The fastest in my school division is 2:48 min. HAHA i only got 4:21 but yeahh 2:48 is super fast he sprinted the whole thing :S

In 2007, Veronica Campbell-Brown from Kingston, Jamaica ran the 100 meter in 10.89. She is tied with Evelyn Ashford as the eighth fastest woman in the world for running the 100 meter in 10.76 May 31, 2011.

The fastest man in the 100m sprint is Jamaica's Usain Bolt, with a 9.58s finish at Berlin, Germany, August 16, 2009.

I do not know exactly for boys, but I am a 7th grade girl and it takes me 15-16 seconds.

Im a 7th grader and I ran mine in 13.4 my friend ran his in 12.8.

I am now an 8th grader who runs 12 seconds flat, but in 7th grade I could beat most of the eighth graders with 12.5.

because he absolutely loves

running and he turned down

scholarships to many collages

to stay home and train

An average time for the 400m in the Olympics is under 45 seconds.

/\/\

that guy is wrong since the 400 metres current olympic world record is 45.28 how can the average be under 45 seconds IDIOTS on this site astound me!

13-18 seconds

I'm a 13 year old boy and I run 100m in 11.69. But I've raced some kids at my track meets who are a lot faster than that. They probably run like a 10.8! I've seen the times too really fast. So I'd say a good time is around 10-12

Usain eats about 5,000 before his race for breakfast for energy, consisting of bananas, cakes and of corse his chicken nuggets if needs be.
