Most sprints are under 8 seconds as in trying to build my peak power up again. 10 years ago I was hitting 2kw but after 9 yrs of no real explosive training I fell back to 1200. I'm clawing my way back but everyone says it's because I'm older and I don't want to accept that.

Btw, I think I remember your name from fixedgearfever?
