Hi all
I'm looking for tips and tricks as well as training tips. I'm looking to run the 40 yard in 6 seconds I had a couple of tries today 7.40, 7.14 and 6.5
Any pointers ?

    It can be done. I'm 58 and can run the 40 in 5.3 seconds still.

    Do intervals when you run. I'll walk to warm up, then sprint hard for 20 seconds, then walk again till I catch my breath enough, then sprint again. I do 8 cycles of this twice a week. Not only great for my cardio, but it's something that's bearable to if I have to run.
