where am I ?

If you look at the World record progression100 metres for men it seems that statistically there is still room for a progress but not much more My guess it will balance around 9.5.

you can reach a number (if you use a logistic equation (an equation which is very useful for modelling processes that reach a limit) in this calculation the limit will be : 9.48 seconds. for more info visit this great site which specializes on this subject : http://condellpark.com/kd/sprintlogistic.htm

I'd say look at Michael Johnson who holds the 200m world record with a time of 19.32 seconds.  If we take his splits per 100m evenly (since I don't know the real 100m splits) we have him running 9.66 sec for the 100m.  Theoretically we could say a human could go that low since it has happened before, but of course with a running start.  I don't think we'll see someone go that low for another 20 years at least if it even happens.

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injuryRotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip  My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

Thanks for all the fish!

After watching Usain Bolt in the Olympics, I think 9.50 is possible.  It was amazing ... he's run only a few 100 meter races in his career ... he didn't get a perfect start .. his left shoe came untied ... and he slowed down in the last 20 metres ... but he still ran 9.69!  A commentator said that, by slowing down, he threw away a 9.59.

I've seen other races by Bolt where he tried harder than this.  When everything goes right, Bolt is going to change everything.
