Why Running a Sub 10 Second 100m is Still Mind-Blowing

[@crismaracana2824]

What makes Hines' Night of Speed 9.9 HT,10.03 FAT (+0.8 m/s wind) most remarkable is that it was done at sea level on a chewed up cinder/dirt surface @ Hughes Stadium to beat Bob Hayes' then world record of 10.0 HT, 10.06 FAT (+1.1 m/s wind) on cinders. It was the first time anyone had run a LEGAL OFFICIAL sub 10 clocking under ANY official timing conditions on a natural non-synthetic surface. 4 heats were run prior to Hines setting the mark. It was in the first heat that Hines ironically recorded the first 9.8 HT clocking in track history. The time was disallowed, however, b/c of an illegal tailwind of +2.8 m/s (6.26 mph). That's only +0.8 m/s over the allowable wind speed of +2.0 m/s (4.47 or 4.5 mph). Many sprinters aren't running 10.03 FAT even on these new artificial track surfaces. Hines' 10.03 was the sea level WR until James Sanford broke it almost 12 yrs later clocking 10.02 secs on a SYNTHETIC track @ UCLA's Drake Stadium in May of 1980. It is STILL to this day the fastest that anyone has run 100 meters on a NATURAL NON-SYNTHETIC SURFACE.

[@OutperformOfficial]

Fantastic breakdown of Jim Hines' remarkable accomplishment - really appreciate your insight! It's heartening to see recognition of Hines' extraordinary talent. Initially, our plan for this video included only a brief mention of him. However, the more we delved into his story, the more we realized his exceptional legacy. He is, without a doubt, one of the most underrated sprinters of all time, if not the most. At one point, our focus almost shifted to creating a full Jim Hines documentary (which is still a tempting idea). Thanks for expanding on the depth and impact of his achievements, loved reading that!

Usain bolt time is still faster

[@crismaracana2824]

You're right Bolt's time is faster ON A SYNTHETIC SURFACE but he has never officially raced on a natural non-synthetic surface (dirt/cinders). The point being is that Hines set the bench mark from which all great sprinters aspire to perform at and that is to run sub-10 seconds for 100 meters. He is also the only sprinter in track history who has recorded sub-10 seconds under ANY official timing conditions on a natural non-synthetic surface. Bolt has not. Now there is no doubt in my mind that Bolt would would run sub 10 on cinders or dirt if he were to compete again but unless he comes out of retirement Hines is still officially the fastest sprinter @ 100 meters on a natural non-synthetic surface.@@demingjiang9493

kinda surprised by the lack of mention of doping scandals. it isn't a huge factor, but leaving it out is an intentional choice I feel.

[@OutperformOfficial]

Your point hits close to home. We are deeply passionate about sprinting, and it's true-the shadow of doping casts a long, sometimes heartbreaking shadow over the sport. Mainstream documentaries on track (i.e. 30 for 30 on Ben Johnson, Marion Jones etc.) seem to always be about doping. We wanted to make a video that shows there is more to the sport. And to honor the achievements of Jim Hines, Kim Collins, Asafa Powell etc and present the data officially recognized by World Athletics. Gatlin had violations, we just didn't want to go down that rabbit hole. Doping is an issue. How much of it is going on at the NCAA and Pro level now? Impossible to say (except for those that test positive). Is it more now than say 10 or 20 years ago? Again, very difficult to determine under the assumption that most don't get caught. As much as I hate that side of the sport perhaps it's worth doing a separate deep dive on it in another video. I'm not sure how much that helps a sport that is slowly dying but maybe it would. My knowledge of PEDs and the latest testing methods is limited so I don't want to speculate until we've done the research. Thank you for watching, and for engaging

At one time we thought the sub 10 equilent for swimming was sub 50 for 100m Freestyle. Now its sub 48 even with a roll back in suit rules in 2010. Coaching, video analysis / analytical technology are driving times forward at a crazy rate. Water is approx 800X more dense than air so technique matters a lot.

[@OutperformOfficial]

You've made impressive progress despite challenging circumstances and self-coaching isn't easy. Your improvements reflect your dedication and consistency. To tackle your current challenges and optimize your performance, start by addressing injury management. With muscle tightness and strain, prioritize warm-up and cool-down routines that include mobility exercises, stretching, and massage to ease tight muscles and prevent further injuries. Check out this article we posted on 3 step warmup routine outperformsports.com/track-and-field-warm-up/ If you've hit a plateau, vary your routine to target different muscle groups, incorporating plyometrics, intervals, and resistance training to provide new stimuli. Also build in rest and active recovery days into your training plan. Sometimes taking a week or more off can help. Mental preparation is also crucial; overthinking can hurt performance. We just posted an article on mental practice that I think will really help you outperformsports.com/tips-to-prepare-for-a-track-meet/ (we're also going to post a video with a guided visualization session soon that should help). Lastly, without a coach or psychologist, self-education becomes vital. You're on a solid path, so keep pushing forward while remaining adaptable and consistent!

[@fpupesh]

the biggest leap to achieve this uplift in the results is not training or tech. it's done in a lab. how many of these names you mentioned were done for peds? gatlin's 18 year longevity had a 8 year doping ban in it, powell twice, gay twice, johnson, lewis... list goes on

the first 4 men to break 10 did so at high altitude. Carl Lewis' 9.97 in 1983 should have been the world record. Bob Hayes at 21 in the 1964 Olympics on a cinder track ran 10.06 which possibly çould have been a sub 10 even with 1968 equipment and conditions.

[@OutperformOfficial]

Interesting, I saw an interview with Jim Hines and he was adamant that if anything the altitude hindered his performance. Definitely agree, Bob Hayes' 10.06 at the 64 olympics was remarkable and hands down would have been sub-10 on a composite track. Anyone who has ran on a cinder track knows what a massive advantage modern tracks are, especially considering the length of spikes required on cinder. Also Bob Hayes is the only athlete to win a gold medal and a super bowl ring, amazing athlete.

What is the role of performance enhancing chemicals in all this rise in sub 10sec runners?

[@OutperformOfficial]

While it's undeniable that PEDs have been used in track and field, doping controls and new technology to curb their use is getting better all the time (i.e. biological passports, the use of AI to detect anomalies etc.) I haven't seen any evidence that their use has increased over the past 5-10 years. Especially at the college level. However it's impossible to know exactly how many athletes are using them unless they get caught. I think that the other factors mentioned in the video play a much larger role. Advances in sports science and more sophisticated training (athletes today have access to better coaching, nutrition, recovery protocols, and biomechanical analysis than ever before). The development of better track surfaces, footwear technology, and starting blocks. Also the globalization of sprinting has expanded the talent pool. We haven't really done a deep dive in to the modern era of doping, but its a good idea for a future video (even though I hate that side of the sport).

[@LAJAP]

@@OutperformOfficial You make a great point, many things have been advancing human performance and, no doubt, and it will be a great video. You sound like you'll approach the issue head on. Someone else will do, if you don't. In respect of AI, my only note is that AI is but a rebranding of what we've always had, or, if you want, the evolution of programming. My point being that if they haven't found anomalies yet, AI will not change this. My suspicion is that what is being undermined is the test development for those new drugs, particularly because they act at genetic level. Keep doing a great job.

Thank you for your comment. It's true that doping has been a significant issue in track and field, casting shadows over remarkable achievements, including the 100m. However, it's also important to recognize the rigorous anti-doping measures and advancements in sports science that support athletes in reaching these milestones cleanly. Skepticism is understandable. Although it's impossible to definitely prove one way or the other, I think many athletes today achieve sub-10-second times through dedication, advanced training, and a strict adherence to anti-doping regulations.

The throws and middle distance events have shown themselves to benefit more from doping (look at the women’s records, as women benefit from doping more than men). What you’ll notice is that certain events on the women’s side aren’t anywhere close to what they were 30+ years ago, which indicates that anti doping measures have been effective in reducing their use to a significant degree. Even equating Johnson’s doping to Gatlin and Powell is really intellectually dishonest, as he doped systematically and egregiously for years, while the other two tested positive for less amounts of less potent drugs, outside of competition. In all likelihood their doping probably had a very small or negligible benefit to their race, unlike Johnson most certainly had an unfair advantage.

9.8 is the gold standard

[@OutperformOfficial]

It does seem like 9.8 is the new sub-10 now.

[@JimmyKim-fb1ji]

@@OutperformOfficialno bro only 180 people broke sub 10 in history

[@phoenixsasha2727]

This whole long video and still didn't answer the question as to why...

[@OutperformOfficial]

Towards the end it does go into the reason why (democratization of training and information). However it's a fair point as that is not the primary focus of the video. Title changed.

[@emmanuelmbu3301]

Nahhh it’s not genetic, everyone can become fast just as long as you have the right training nutrition and dedication for many years

[@OutperformOfficial]

Absolutely, everyone can dramatically improve their speed if they put in the work.

[@Arrica101]

You still need the genetics of those fast twitch fibers in your muscles. Saying it's not genetic is just silly. Some people are more disposed to being weightlifters due to body composition, some basketball because of height. Genetics plays a huge roll

[@JimmyKim-fb1ji]

@@OutperformOfficialthat is false not everyone can run sub 10 only 180 people broke it

[@2011hwalker]

hahahaha completely false, about 0.0001% of the population have the genetics to run sub 10 seconds.

[@narnianninja4964]

​@@JimmyKim-fb1jiThey didn't say anyone can run sub 10, just that anyone can improve their speed more than what it is already

[@hames100]

What a crock. Of all sports, track takes the least amount of training. There’s hardly any skill about it, technology and availability explain this phenomenon period.

[@Arrica101]

Talk about a bad take

[@OutperformOfficial]

Track and field, particularly sprinting events like the sub-10-second 100m dash, requires an immense amount of specialized training, skill, and discipline. The simplicity observed from the outside belies the complex blend of biomechanics, nutrition, psychology, and sheer effort required to compete at this level. Anyone who runs a sub-10 has dedicated their life to sprinting.

To the video maker, you have a Ton of errors in the 5 minute mark of the video.. you said Jim's 995 stood for 10 years after being set in 86, then u said in 88 Carl broke it, then u said Jim's 995 stood for 20 years. Even tho u had just said Carl and another guy had broken 995 with a 993.. check your story here and edit the video to make sense.

[@OutperformOfficial]

Video maker here. I think you need to watch that part again 🙂 Jim set the WR/OR in 68 not 86. The WR held until 83 and the OR held until 88. So the math is 68-83 =~15 years for the WR and 68-88 = 20 years for the OR. Hopefully that helps!

[@djevans614]

@OutperformOfficial all good, wasn't tryn to be rude to ya, just wanted to help, as it confused me. But the clarification is good. 86 and 68 is an easy mix up and a big difference.

[@OutperformOfficial]

Sall good!@@djevans614

And HTH does he not give mention to Letsile Tebogo whos steadily proving to be a force to reckon with! Bumboclottt!!! The man is competing 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m!!!
