Ya, but my question is, whether it’s yards or meters, how do you go about measuring it out so you can run it?

I just used a tape measure and chalk to measure 40 yards. Next time I will go to a high school football field and track to try it

Awesome Aloha! 
 

Just to be able to do it is pretty darn impressive. 
 

I’m always amazed at people who are fast at distances, 596’s sub 20 minute 5k are crazy fast to me (MtlJeff, I’m sure did it as well). My short little sprinter legs just didn’t work well for distance. We used to run quite a few of them, I think I was around 24 once or twice. 
Just about 40 years ago I was a 10.5 100m guy and around 4.5 in the forty (we didn’t run it often for time). Now…..I think I’d probably get about three steps before  a hamstring would go!  Again, color me impressed Aloha. 

Thanks for your nice comments and 596 and MtlJeff were very fast and it seems like you were really fast in your younger days as well.

No not back in the day when we were on the field that was all lined out 🤣

 

We used to run back and forth across the field countless times in every possible increment and combination of yardage. 
 

Im talkin bout like now! If you wanted to time yourself in a 40, barring going to some football field, how would you go about measuring out 40 yards?

 

Ahh, here’s something…

 

 

Why bother with that when any hardcore golfer owns a rangefinder? 😛

At age 77, I still work out daily and find that sprinting is still very natural for me. I've been a long time jogger and still feel the same as when in my thirties. God has blessed me physically.

I can walk 40 yards in 7 minutes, maybe even 6. Let's race!

I have a 67 year old client, that runs a 5.16. He hasn’t had much formal training until I started working with and he’s been doing well.
