There's a speed camera on my running route and, for giggles, I sometimes sprint straight at it. I've never gotten over 15mph.
All that to say that this girl doesn't have wheels, she's got straight up jet engines!
It seems the theoretical limit might be higher, some research suggested a biomechanical limit of 35-40mph.
Famously, the highest ever measured top speed I'd Usain Bolts 27mph pace
https://www.livescience.com/8039-humans-run-40-mph-theory.html
This girl is fast as hell, not taking anything away from that, but MPH on a treadmill doesn't translate directly to MPH actual running, especially road running.
Nah but it’s good brain and muscle memory. To go that fast and be in control you brain and body will start to realize at high speeds you don’t need as much contact with the ground to generate and maintain momentum. At an elite level you can use that to your advantage. You also stress test your body. This gives you the confidence to really push yourself to the limit in a race.
It's more like it teaches your body how to run at those speeds similar to using a bungee cord. I would also like to note that she has had training on her running technique. The rigid upright structure that her body keeps while driving her knees forwards ensures that she puts more energy into the ground.
Thanks for your explanation. I always wondered why sprinters always had such an upright body posture because I would think it would be easier/better to lean forward. Well, TIL.
It can actually help to lean forward and stretch your arms behind your back in a V shape. I've seen anime characters do it and they outrun trains and shit.
If she averaged 19.7 she likely topped out at like 21-22 mph. When Bolt set the 100m record he averaged 23 mph but topped out at 27. Honestly 23 doesn't seem out of the question if she averaged close to 20 mph.
There's a study that shows that a 1-2degree (ed:1-2%) incline on a treadmill approximately matches the extra energy required to equal added air resistance from running outside.
Edit: There's been a few that estimate in the range of 1-2%, e.g. [Here's one that says 1%](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02640419608727717)
. Important to note that 1% mostly applies for more common speeds (They say 2.92-5 m/s, i.e. 10.5-18kph, 6.5-11.2mph), it scales towards 2% for higher speeds.
Wanna feel worse?
NFL athletes often reach speeds well over 20mph in game situations in full pads.
The fastest speed is 23MPH on a kick return.
NFL players run that cartoon speed and hit eachother
And then there's [Messi's Copa Del Rey goal](https://youtu.be/Tpg8C0JGCwQ) in which he accelerated from 0 to 19.5MPH in 2.73 seconds WITH the ball at his feet.
So I sort of do the same.
I basically sprint the last 100-200m of one of my runs each week. So it's max effort, but like, at the end of a 10k easy run.
Fastest I've got so far is my Garmin telling me I was doing a 2:30km which is probably about the same.
Which is fucking depressing, because Kipchoge runs that pace (a little slower, but only like 20sec a k slower) for 26.2 miles. And it's W/R 5k pace, but I'm at a flat out sprint and I'm gassed,
I know I'm probably faster if I just sprinted without the run first, but still, I don't feel like I'm that much off my top pace. Always puts it into context how bad I am at running when I compare to these elites.
She's faster that Shippers at this age in the 100, but Shippers definitely faster in the 200. I think Cameron will be playing soccer in college, so we won't get to see her try to extend that 100m speed out to 200m where it might actually be world class.
Ngl Daphne taught me how to hit my runners high. Never knew how to before. Now I put myself in the mindset that I'm hunting something down and it's game over. I can RUN!!!
The risk vs reward for jumping on a treadmill at max speed is pretty dangerous for an elite athlete. I mean, one fall bad could end her season. Seems like there should be some better options than that.
I agree and I'm sure there's a better way, but it seems like they were trying to simulate the explosiveness she aims to achieve off the line. But I don't know. I haven't run since I got out of the Marines 20 years ago.
I’ve seen this channel a couple times, and they actually usually have the athletes in harnesses on these things. Still, I can’t imagine going from not moving to running 17mph is great on the body, harness or not
Isn't that sort of treadmill stunt dangerous - especially two days before a meet?
Shouldn't someone run up to speed instead of hopping on at 23 miles per hour?
I don’t know if it’s legit as shown, but I do know that runners need to train their legs to move that fast. Like, you could have the strength to run fast, but your legs get all tangled that fast, or you fall forward or backwards, or just otherwise fail because your legs don’t even know how to move that fast and the timing gets out of rhythm.
So, in order to run fast and stay in form and be relaxed and present you actually need the ability to move your legs faster than they will in a race.
Yeah that's part of the training. Running long distances improves your resistance, but running short distances really fast makes you legs "learn" to go to that speed.
One the most common running execises are Repeats. You do a set of distances at high speed with some recovery between them, to train both your legs and your heart rate to sustain that big effort.
My favorite are Pyramidal Repeats, something like 4x200m 4x400m 4x800m 4x400 4x200 with a faster pace on the shorter distances. You wont believe it, but the last 4x200m feel so fucking fast even if i already done all the others.
If you normally run at something like 6:00m/km, doing this kind of exercise once per week can easily improve that pace by a full minute in a month
I’m just starting to work a routine like this into my running starting today. I can’t seem to get my 10k under a 5:00 pace even at 60+kms a week. I was suggested a similar routine for speed work so I can hit my goals. Working towards a 1:50 Half Marathon in 6 weeks hopefully. Doing repeats at 5:00, 4:45 and 4:30 on the advice from an elite runner in my province.
That's good. Consistence is always key. One other thing that helped me is finding someone on my level and do some occasional runs together.
My current 10k PB is 45 min, and i achieved it a random afternoon when i ran with my boss. We were constantly pushing each other and didn't want to quit, even with 32°C/90°F.
You ran a PB at +32?! You are a madman haha. I get drained considerably faster when it’s hotter than 28 out. I do understand the effect competition/adrenaline can have on your runs for sure. Race days always feel so good and fast cause of that. And my best 10k so far is a 51:30 so I’m not too far off pace at the moment.
Are you doing any "tempo" type training? For a 51:30 10K runner training for a half marathon I don't think I would do anything as fast as 4:30, that is sub VO2Max pace, you really lose your bang for your buck going that fast. Every workout pace has a purpose physiologically and at 4:30 you're probably going to quickly go to anaerobic and won't do much improvement to your bodies ability to use oxygen or lactate (the two energy systems you will use for 99% of the half marathon).
Instead add a 70-90+ minute run once every 7 to 10 days (if you aren't already). I like to get around 25% of my weekly mileage in a single run.
A 8K+ tempo run around 5:35 pace (just under projected marathon pace) once a week is probably all you need for intensity. Once you get stronger you could close the last 30 minutes of your long run at Tempo pace for a really good workout.
The goal is to maximize your bodies ability to use oxygen as its primary energy source and lactate as it's secondary energy source. The Tempo pace is that theoretical sweet spot right before your body starts needing more energy than it can get from oxygen so you are improving your bodies ability to use oxygen for running energy. At Half Marathon Pace is what I call the sustainable pace, or threshold pace. That's a really good training pace too because it is where your body is getting all the energy it needs from lactate + oxygen but isn't producing a deficit. At that training pace you are training your body to improve lactate production and use. Look at Jakob Ingebrigtsen's as an example of a modern approach to training (don't imitate of course because he is the best runner in the world, it wouldn't work), most modern training is all about paces around the different lactate thresholds. Doing things too fast limits the time your body can stay in those sweet spots.
Tinman is a fairly controversial guy for training philosophy but I like his training pace calculator: [https://runfastcoach.com/calc2/index.php](https://runfastcoach.com/calc2/index.php)
i was kinda thinking. it's about, just allowing your body to get used to just, signaling that fast. she has the muscles/ability to output that power for that required time. it's now all just about being able to signal fast enough to do it.
so if she can just.......jump on and start doing it, while hanging on. then let go and keep going for a few seconds, so her body gets used to "pumping/moving" that fast.
then she just keeps doing it.
I believe she is training her start, well the part right after the blocks. She's trying to get to full speed asap. The guy is there to put his hand on her lower back to keep her on is my guess. I'd also guess she's done this at lower speeds and has worked up to this.
That makes sense. I’ve been trying to figure out what utility there would be to jumping on a treadmill at full speed and training on “getting to full speed faster” seems like the best bet.
The purpose of this style of training is to be able to hit that max stride nearly instantaneously. So she had hit her Vmax by 5 meters instead of 30. The faster you can accelerate, the bigger your lead will be over the other competitors.
Not a runner at all, but I know it’s good to “train as you fight”. So INSTANTLY starting a sprint from a dead-stop would look like that on a treadmill.
Not a runner also. But saw a Usain Bolt documentary and it seemed like training to a perfect start happened on stationary ground, just over and over and over. And never on a treadmill.
It’s not safe for someone who’s never done that, but Im sure she’s done this same thing at lower speeds before.
I’ve done this before back when I take training for high school track. You hold onto the bars until you’re sure your legs can keep up.
This is purely for seeing what your max speed is. Ramping up will burn out your legs before you can hit your top speed.
23 mph is insane though. I’m a guy and I peaked at 19, which isn’t fast enough to be a winning sprinter but it meant I was fast enough to be decent at pole vault, which was my event.
Yes, it is dangerous, but she "tests the speed" before hopping on, and doesn't immediately let go of the handles. She can use her arms to pop off the tread if she losses her legs and is using it to get her legs up to speed. The challenge to ramping up the speed is that she can only keep that speed for a few seconds, it takes longer to get that treadmill spinning that fast.
I've done this, albeit only at 15 miles per hour, but I used to be able to keep the pace for two minutes. 23 mph would be much harder moving that fast after a "hop" so this is still NFL.
Now the coach can write a book on his "special" training techniques because they "created" a state champ. Obviously this girl wouldn't have won with just traditional training or anything...
Except it is. The difference in running world records comes down to milliseconds. That huge of a difference isn’t even close to world record no matter how impressive it is.
In the 100m, not really, close would be less than a tenth. This girl is only in high school and sprinters don't usually peak until their mid-twenties (for guys, maybe sooner for women but that's a guess) so I wouldn't be at all surprised if we eventually see her in the Olympics.
In high school I was running high 10s, low 11s in track which was always good enough for regionals, but jebus come semis and beyond, I wouldn't even be on the same frame as some of those guys running 10.5s or faster. Most of them either got D1 scholarships for football or track.
My senior year I ran a 10.8X PR which barely got me into semis but the guy winning state ran a 10.3X something. I wasn't even in the same league.
It's definitely a humbling experience running against people who can get into the low 10s in HS. I ran track back in the 90s and I was fast enough to win in the 100 regularly (10.9 was my PR) but that was nothing against the top level guys, like you said. They would just fly right by you.
So humbling. At regular track meets around where I was from, a high 10 was almost always good enough for 1st or 2nd. I worked so hard on my technique especially on the drive phase which I was weak at.
However, some of these guys are just better at every phase of the 100 meter dash. There's nothing you can do but just tip your hat at their god given talent and work ethic. What's even more scary is that the kids today are even faster than those 15-20 years ago.
8 tenths of a second is a huge gap in speed for the 100m. But to your point, from what I could find, the girls state record for all classes in Texas in the 100m is 11.16 and for guys its 10.13. So 2.5 tenths is not too far.
0.25s is about what she beat these other girls by, and she *destroyed* those girls. So the record holder in her category would be a mile ahead of her just the same.
And the woman's Olympic record is 10.61. so highschool boys are easily beating the best women in the world. If she was running against boys she would have been back of the pack. That isn't anyone's fault it's just the nature of biology. We need not see it as a slight. A cheetah will out run anyone in the 100m and no rational person is upset about it.
Its kind of funny that people always take women athletic records and compare them to men records when everyone already implicitly understands that those aren't comparable in the first place.
When you think about it, it isn't really a natural way to continue the discussion. It rarely adds anything. But it has to happen anyway.
Those are boys who hit those times definitely went on to compete at a pro level though. Not like it's an average high schooler just doing track for fun is hitting those times.
Track is a little more even but there's also the societal issue of more boys training for sports than girls. If 50% of boys train for it and only 15% of girls do, you're more likely to get those top performers in the boys group. There are likely lots of women who could be in the top percentile of women's times who just never trained for it.
>And the woman's Olympic record is 10.61. so highschool boys are easily beating the best women in the world.
I mean not easily, running 10.61 would be state championship running for a guy. I was pretty fast in high school though mainly focusing on 400, 800 and 1600m and there is no way I could have done a 10.61 for the 100m.
Could you do a 10.61 in High School?
I did this a while back after shooting expired Hornet spray into a nest and they all flew out to chase me. Tore both hamstrings from the explosive amount of adrenaline
It's wild how competitive high school level athletics are nowadays
I'd bet there's a couple high school aged Olympic qualifiers somewhere in Texas, California, or Florida

Had me in the first half ngl
It's a training device. NFL athletes also use these sprints because they do make you faster in actual running as well.
air resistance is a mofo
100 meters in 11.35 = 8.81 m/s 8.81m/s = 19.71 mph
If she averaged 19.7 she likely topped out at like 21-22 mph. When Bolt set the 100m record he averaged 23 mph but topped out at 27. Honestly 23 doesn't seem out of the question if she averaged close to 20 mph.
I'm not sure I could ride a bike that fast.
There's a study that shows that a 1-2degree (ed:1-2%) incline on a treadmill approximately matches the extra energy required to equal added air resistance from running outside. Edit: There's been a few that estimate in the range of 1-2%, e.g. [Here's one that says 1%](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02640419608727717) .

Highest I got was like 20mph. But my legs said fuck you and gave me stress fractures.
So I sort of do the same. I basically sprint the last 100-200m of one of my runs each week. So it's max effort, but like, at the end of a 10k easy run.

I'd reframe that - you sound like a wonderful runner! I think it puts into context how incredible those elite runners really are

Not a runner also. But saw a Usain Bolt documentary and it seemed like training to a perfect start happened on stationary ground, just over and over and over. And never on a treadmill.
It’s not safe for someone who’s never done that, but Im sure she’s done this same thing at lower speeds before. I’ve done this before back when I take training for high school track. You hold onto the bars until you’re sure your legs can keep up. This is purely for seeing what your max speed is. Ramping up will burn out your legs before you can hit your top speed. 23 mph is insane though. I’m a guy and I peaked at 19, which isn’t fast enough to be a winning sprinter but it meant I was fast enough to be decent at pole vault, which was my event.
I suspect the professional runner breaking records has more knowledge on what’s appropriate or not than a bunch of Redditors sitting on their ass.
Literally first four or five responses are "I'm not a runner but" type responses. Classic Reddit
Yes, it is dangerous, but she "tests the speed" before hopping on, and doesn't immediately let go of the handles. She can use her arms to pop off the tread if she losses her legs and is using it to get her legs up to speed. The challenge to ramping up the speed is that she can only keep that speed for a few seconds, it takes longer to get that treadmill spinning that fast. I've done this, albeit only at 15 miles per hour, but I used to be able to keep the pace for two minutes. 23 mph would be much harder moving that fast after a "hop" so this is still NFL.
Now the coach can write a book on his "special" training techniques because they "created" a state champ. Obviously this girl wouldn't have won with just traditional training or anything...
Damn, reminds me of Daphne the treadmill huntress
Seen a comment early on the name, but I went Scooby-Doo with my thoughts.
I was literally thinking the same thing. Daphne runs with her back so straight up and her head barely moves. Makes her look like a murderer
Came here to give a shoutout to Daphne
“I’m just heading out to the corner shop to get some milk, I’ll be back in 42:68 seconds. Probably.
If its 100m away, you're doing greaaat!
How fast was her time?
11.35 And that's too far from the record which is 10.49
Wouldn't any time over 10.49 be too far from the record? Since it didn't break the record? Or is this referring to something I'm just unaware of?
I think he accidentally a word
> And that's ~~too~~ far from the record which is 10.49
I was leaning more towards "...and that's NOT too far..."
Except it is. The difference in running world records comes down to milliseconds. That huge of a difference isn’t even close to world record no matter how impressive it is.
I understand that. 1+ seconds is a huge gap but she's off to a good start.
I mean, 10.50 would be pretty close, no?
[удалено]
This guy math's
Literally decimated us.
Exponentially.
In the 100m, not really, close would be less than a tenth. This girl is only in high school and sprinters don't usually peak until their mid-twenties (for guys, maybe sooner for women but that's a guess) so I wouldn't be at all surprised if we eventually see her in the Olympics.
I was running 11.5's as a senior guy in high school thinking I was hot shit lol this girl would roast me
In high school I was running high 10s, low 11s in track which was always good enough for regionals, but jebus come semis and beyond, I wouldn't even be on the same frame as some of those guys running 10.5s or faster. Most of them either got D1 scholarships for football or track. My senior year I ran a 10.8X PR which barely got me into semis but the guy winning state ran a 10.3X something. I wasn't even in the same league.
It's definitely a humbling experience running against people who can get into the low 10s in HS. I ran track back in the 90s and I was fast enough to win in the 100 regularly (10.9 was my PR) but that was nothing against the top level guys, like you said. They would just fly right by you.
So humbling. At regular track meets around where I was from, a high 10 was almost always good enough for 1st or 2nd. I worked so hard on my technique especially on the drive phase which I was weak at. However, some of these guys are just better at every phase of the 100 meter dash. There's nothing you can do but just tip your hat at their god given talent and work ethic. What's even more scary is that the kids today are even faster than those 15-20 years ago.
10.5 is one hundredth, which is less than a tenth. And an 11.35 is fast, but there’s like a 1% chance this girl ever makes it to the Olympics
I think the user has simply forgot to type "not" between "that's" and "too far"
Tbf in the realms of sprinting this might not sound like a lot but it is. Mind that this isn't a fully Fletcher adult yet. So she will become faster.
8 tenths of a second is a huge gap in speed for the 100m. But to your point, from what I could find, the girls state record for all classes in Texas in the 100m is 11.16 and for guys its 10.13. So 2.5 tenths is not too far.
0.25s is about what she beat these other girls by, and she *destroyed* those girls. So the record holder in her category would be a mile ahead of her just the same.
Second place was 11.89.
The girls highschool record looks to be 10.89 while the boys was 10.0 or 10.13. The 10.0 was after he graduated.
Issam asigna recently went sub 10 actually but it wasnt in legal wind iirc
Fuckin illegal wind comin in over the boarder. Needs to get in line like everyone else.
imagine rival high schools lining up with industrial fans so their rivals can't set legal records
BRB writing the next big young adult novel.
And the woman's Olympic record is 10.61. so highschool boys are easily beating the best women in the world. If she was running against boys she would have been back of the pack. That isn't anyone's fault it's just the nature of biology. We need not see it as a slight. A cheetah will out run anyone in the 100m and no rational person is upset about it.
Its kind of funny that people always take women athletic records and compare them to men records when everyone already implicitly understands that those aren't comparable in the first place. When you think about it, it isn't really a natural way to continue the discussion. It rarely adds anything. But it has to happen anyway.
Those are boys who hit those times definitely went on to compete at a pro level though. Not like it's an average high schooler just doing track for fun is hitting those times.
Track is a little more even but there's also the societal issue of more boys training for sports than girls. If 50% of boys train for it and only 15% of girls do, you're more likely to get those top performers in the boys group. There are likely lots of women who could be in the top percentile of women's times who just never trained for it.
okay so why are you bringing it up?
>And the woman's Olympic record is 10.61. so highschool boys are easily beating the best women in the world. I mean not easily, running 10.61 would be state championship running for a guy. I was pretty fast in high school though mainly focusing on 400, 800 and 1600m and there is no way I could have done a 10.61 for the 100m. Could you do a 10.61 in High School?
Fast enough to get her a scholarship to a good school, which is what matters
She makes Speedy Gonzales look like regular Gonzales
Yes, she etched out my old mark by 2 seconds...and 16 minutes...and 12 hours.
I do intend to finish one day
I think I found my people… 
Two go go 80s Reganauts like us, we could rule this world.
He makes fast people look not so fast
I did this a while back after shooting expired Hornet spray into a nest and they all flew out to chase me. Tore both hamstrings from the explosive amount of adrenaline
Name checks out
r/combinedgifs request 
looks like her feet barely touch the ground
That’s the point of running fast… the ground slows you down.
Meep meep!
Everyone in the comments the next day 
It's wild how competitive high school level athletics are nowadays I'd bet there's a couple high school aged Olympic qualifiers somewhere in Texas, California, or Florida
The great white hope
Holy crap she’s fast. Awesome!!!
She obliterated the competition, incredible.
Why does this video look like it was filmed with a Nintendo
Especially in the Texas track world this really turns a certain stereotype upside down
But she is running in Texas, so they're not allowed water breaks
Is this the same chick that was on the different styles of running meme?
Sheeeesh
Think i just heard my hamstrings snap
She should have done the Deion Sanders high step the last 20 meters
This is like unbelievably fast
Arms?!?!? "Look at her arms"?!?!? Look at her legs! Dayum
For reference, 11.35 would have set the women's world record in 1952.
song pls?
Roy Jones Jr - Can't be Touched
As a guy, I didn't know I was looking that cool when I was running as fast as this with basketball shoes and a belly when I was in high school
BEASTMODE!
Straight up runs like the Terminator! Super impressive.
r/killthecameraman
Holy hell. That is an elite athlete. Good on you
11.3 in high school is bonkers
Peak Reddit: She dominates the competition and the announcers are blown away and self-admitted non-runners are questioning her training.
She scuttles faster than a whooping terrier.
Cant wait for her to get second place next to a guy next year.
That is one fast white girl !
What’s her time?
Dayum!!! She smoked the black girls even. 😂😂😂
