Anybody here ever actually run the 40?

This on both accounts.

I did speed training @ Maryville the summer before my senior year. I ran a low 4.6 before we trained, but never got my "after" 40 times because I went on vacation to fish in MN. I am sure I got faster in straight line speed, but the biggest difference was made in agility.

If any of you have kids in sports and have the opportunity and ability to send them to one of these programs you should do it. They last 3 months through the summer typically -- I think 2 or 3 times a week, I don't remember anymore. Not real fun while you are running on the giant treadmill going 15 mph at 15 degree inclines for several minutes at a time (my friend reminded me of this via text). There are some more interesting plyo stuff or rubber bands. The 4 square was kind of fun, especially on one foot.

For me to "graduate" I had to run 20 mph, 0 degree incline, for 6 seconds.

I was 6'2" and roughly 180lbs then (ten pounds lighter now).

Nope. Good try.
