When is the last time you ran flat out?

[Herr Kutz]

So many people claim they run, but that’s fake news. They’re only jogging (wth happened to that word?). Myself, it’s probably been 2 years when I last visited the track and ran as fast as I possibly could. I really need to get into it again.

The navy.
Last leg of the PRT. I was behind on time by 10 seconds or so.

Not in over 45 years. No reason to do something silly like that.

Probably college. These days I do Distributed Computing, so I have my computer run flat out instead.

 

[Zanovar]

About 2 weeks ago,im slipping.

^^^This. If I'm running, there's probably wolves or something behind me. There's never been a time in my life I've enjoyed running.

And I've run out of bullets and people to shoot for said wolves to eat. My 3rd knee surgery was over 33 years ago so...I carry lots of bullets.

3 and a half years. As soon as my son was born I could no longer play on my rec league football team. I've ran on a treadmill a bit at like 7-8mph since then but it's not the same as going all out on a football field. I haven't ran on a track since I was doing HIIT like 4-5 years ago.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

I don't do jogging - I honestly find it annoying and stupid - so I only ever do small sprints similar to HIIT.

Probably spikeball last Saturday, but that's a really short distance so possibly soccer last Thursday.

Do suicides count? Did those last week.
Otherwise I run regularly.

Long time ago. Blew out my knees in HS track and x-country

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

The last time flat got uppity.

 

[brainhulk]

I started doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu again 6 months ago. We did flat out sprints across the mat yesterday. It feels good the 1st 2 times across, by the 5th i am tired.

 

[snoopy7548]

Probably five months ago. I used to go for occasional runs on the weekends but I feel like working out during the week is enough.

About five years ago. I gave myself a head start of about 200 yards and then sprinted. I wanted to see how fast my pit bull could catch up to me. Took her at full speed less than 10 seconds. A humbling experience, knowing that I will never outrun a coyote, mountain lion, or bear. Not that I ever thought I could outrun them. It just puts things into perspective....seconds.

You just have to be faster than the slowest guy.

When my 5 year old son run into traffic.

Your dog could run >55MPH? The math on ~270ish yards(since you then sprinted) and 10 seconds is 57mph I think. Your dog might actually be a cheetah, might want to check at the vet.

A few weeks ago, so not long ago.

Google says greyhounds max out at 45.
Great danes hit 40.
