quiet fast little cowards ... all of you
My dad is 45 and last year he ran a 100m race with my and my friends and ran a high 12. (handtime). He's not much of a speedwork guy. Ran high 15's in high school for the 5k. Stopped running until he was 40 years old. Now runs low 17's.
Who still runs 100 yard races?
well for one thing we run the 100m nowadays. for another very few people actually know their 100 time, this involves properly warming up and getting someone to time you (they have to observe both the start and finish and give you a good starting signal) and risking injury. if you asked about 200 times in a workout it would probably be easier to get answers
I don't think you're typical. If you do speedwork every week all year round, you won't slow as much. Looks like you lost about 4 seconds in 15 years. From my low 50s to mid 60s, I only lost 2.6 seconds in my 200m time. I can't give you a 100m time, but ran 200m in 30.6 in my last week.
I do think that if you do marathon training, you will lose speed over the years in distances of 800m and shorter.
I made my all-time track debut last year aged 52 with no specific training.
100m - 15s (3 year goal @ 55 - sub 13)
400m - 68s (3 year goal @ 55 - sub 65)
I'm working with a coach. 100m will be hard to achieve, 400m should be easy.

pretty typical regression
I guess if you had no speed to begin with, you don't lose it as fast. I also have never done any real sprint training, but I do try one-off 100s and 200s as hard as I can a few times a year when warmed up.
Age 30 - 15.0 (just started running)
Age 40 - 14.6 (was also around when I was the fastest I'll ever be at distance)
Age 49 - 15.1
... also, my 200m time has remained almost constant at around 29 seconds, from age 30-49.
This is severe, accelerated speed loss. I wonder if lifestyle habits or other factors had anything to do with this.
Is 100 yard different than 100 yard dash? OP - please clarify!
