In today’s mailbag I’m covering how to run the 200.
In my experience, if sprinters even have a race
plan (which they usually don’t) it isn’t one that
will lead to consistent personal bests.
Not only am I going to cover the two specific
race strategies I teach my athletes, but I’m also
going to show you one of my favorite ‘peaking’
workouts.
Click here for more information (plus weekly track
specific tips, articles and videos) about program
design for sprinters.
Here is the specific Main Competitive Phase workout
I will have my athletes perform. As the season goes
on, this workout will evolve based on the particular
needs of the individual athlete (workouts must
become individualized during Championship Season).
*All reps out of blocks, race pace
2-3 x 40m @ full recovery (3-4′)
2 x 85m @ full recovery (7-10′)
1-2 x 110 @ full recovery (10-12′)
1 x 120

A good question that’s been picking up steam lately
has been about which program is better, Complete
Speed Training or Complete Program Design for
Sprinters.
Today I’m clearing up any confusion you might
have and giving you the low down on both programs
so you know exactly which one best suits your
needs:
Show me how to teach skills and drills.
Show me how to create a program for sprinters.

While I try to address it on a regular basis, I
keep getting asked.
So in today’s mailbag I’m stepping out from behind
my desk to make sure you understand the #1 concept
to improving speed for athletes in *any* sport.
To your success,

P.S. Here are the specific results you can get
when you teach ’step over, drive down’ to your
athletes. Check out Lane 5:
