This race is the ultimate test of sprinters. If you go too fast, you could burn out, or if you go too slow, you won't be able to make up enough ground. This is where 100-meter runners face off with 400-meter runners.

How to lower the 40 yard dash times?
Asked by Wiki User
Running a fast 40 yard dash doesn't happen by accident. It's a coordinated process that involves strength, flexibility and practice. In this article we're going to cover three basic exercises that will help lower your 40 yard dash time. Before you attempt any of these drills make sure you are warm and have stretched accordingly. None of these exercises should be done more than twice a week.
Stairs
Probably the best exercise for improving overall speed, starting power and stride length is stair running. Don't confuse this with stair marathon sessions. Take your time and rest in between sets (at least 1 minute). This is not a cardiovascular exercise - this is a speed exercise.
The key is quick burst, lasting no more than 8 seconds. The stairs or incline should be between 20-35 degrees. Focus on staying on the balls of your feet and driving your knees high, toward the sky. Also, keep your head looking forward, not down. The lighter you are on your feet the more you will engage your fast twitch fibers.
Bounding
Though a bit tricky, bounding is a fun way to improve overall leg power and enhance stride length. This plyometric drill requires that you run at a moderate pace, but drive the front knee upward so that the thigh reaches a parallel position with the ground. Each step, concentrate on exploding, or jumping out and up. Proper bounding should look like a bouncy run with longer than normal strides. It's good to have a coach or friends watch your form if you haven't bounded before.
Jumping Rope
Believe it or not, jumping rope is a very popular exercise among many professional athletes. Former stars like Barry Sanders and Hershel Walker swear by the benefits accrued from jumping rope. This is a rapid fire exercise. To improve your 40 yard dash through jump rope each repetition should be no longer than 30 seconds. You want to stay on your toes at all times. Your heel should never, ever, touch the ground. Make sure that your knees have a slight bend, but not too much. You want your calves to burn!

Can you race in track shoes without the spikes?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes you can run in track shoes without the spikes but, I think that you should have spikes at the bottom of your track shoes because if you have the spikes then you can run faster than you would without them.
Track and Field athletes that run during the indoor season run with studs, also known as blanks, in their shoes so as to not ruin the shoe or the track. They still choose to wear their spike shoes do to the lightweight nature of the shoe and the fact that they are accustomed to running in them. However, it is not recommended to wear stud/blanks on outdoor tracks.
