How to make your 200m time faster
With the World Indoor Athletics Championships underway, I thought it would be good to look at some of the Men’s 200m outdoor times.
Have a look at the graph below that Paula Jardine has collated.
If you look at Carl Lewis, he appears to have a steady progression and consistent set of results. Michael Johnson has some very sharp peaks, indicating a rapid increase in performance in a short time.
