As a practitioner in team sports, converting athletics world records into average m/s really puts the speeds into perspective:

400 m 9.3 m/s for 43 secs 😮
800 m 7.9 m/s for 100 secs 😮
1500 m 7.3 m/s for 206 secs 😮
10000 m 6.4 m/s for 26 mins!
Marathon 5.8 m/s for 2 hours!!

Worth resharing this at this time of year.

[Fran Silver @MrFranSilver]

A ‘useful’ guide for linear running distances (from 5 m to 125 m give or take 1-2 m) on a standard (105 x 68 m) football pitch. Or just keep it simple and use a trundle-wheel 😐

[Fran Silver @MrFranSilver]

@DHMov @balsalobrephd Out of interest, what were the impulses for each of these actions?

[Fran Silver @MrFranSilver]

@McInnesWatson @SportsmithHQ This is a fantastic listen. You’ve superbly elucidated the benefits of ‘deep tier’ work, which is something I struggled to simplify. Stiff v yielding landing (I was calling them folding) is a great variable to understand and use.

[Fran Silver @MrFranSilver]

Does anyone have any good recommendations for sport science mentors and/or BASES supervisors?

[Fran Silver @MrFranSilver]

@Hewett1Tim Annoying that the original paper, your letter to the editor and their response are all behind a paywall. It must be interesting discourse.

[Fran Silver @MrFranSilver]

@AndrewGambrill I have the original on my phone

[Fran Silver @MrFranSilver]

The growth in women’s football is amazing. When I started I never would’ve thought I’d witness such a scene. Kudos to the players, supporters and staff who’ve made it all possible.

@Hewett1Tim Thanks for sharing - it’s a very interesting paper. What are you experiences with using FV sprint profiles during rehab?

[Fran Silver @MrFranSilver]

@ContextIsKing9 I look forward to what’s coming in Feb. Football Decoded has given me some fascinating insight.

[Fran Silver @MrFranSilver]

I was a right smartarse at school and regularly questioned the maths teacher as to when I’d ever use trigonometry in adult life. Well, it’s happened! I’m sorry Mr Baxter, you were right.

(Turns out it was a complete waste of time, but still!)
