You ran like an experienced runner. Congratulations!

[@shovelhead56]

What a KICK!!!

[@phillylifer]

That is coming

[@finncorboy19]

Pushups on the starting line kinda goofy

[@nelz2012]

It’s actually pretty smart. It activates the upper body muscles to be more responsive. This all helps to propel the body forward during the race, increasing running economy.

@@nelz2012 not really the guy almost got last. 😂let’s be real. Nobody really knows what’s best for each person.

[@pr1dee]

he’s running at arcadia and ur not 🤷

[@sup8872]

@@pr1dee I ran there when I was in high school with a much faster time, so be more mindful before you reply so ignorantly. Also, I ran D1 college Pac-12 so show a little respect. I uphold my previous statement based on experience. Experience is key.

[@nelz2012]

@ that would be excessive and counterproductive. The key is to do just the bare minimum to activate the muscle fibers but not burn excessive calories.

The guy that was in first got last Whitch sucks

Meanwhile, for perspective, I just watched a high school boy in a Kenya, Africa track meet run 3:32 for the 1,500, which equates to 3:48 for the mile. The winner of this race would have been literally half a lap behind when the winner there crossed the line. And three months ago an Australian high school sophomore ran a 3:55 mile. US boys, let’s go.

You can celebrate accomplishment without going out of your way to bring others down, you know.

[@GammaFZ]

bro that kenyan kid is gonna start declining. If you’re at 1500m olympic finalist standard at that age, you’re not going anywhere better lol.

[@georgenowak8854]

@@GammaFZ no reason to hate on the guy

[@XxTR1D]

Is the Kenyan actually a high schoolers age?

[@georgenowak8854]
