Yeah, haha that makes sense. I mean I wasn’t really focusing on doing that much competition this season anyway and was using it more as a base to train my body which is years behind my peers at the moment in terms of technique and power, but should I shift my training at this point of the season to more tempo work and longer sprints, as opposed to the short stuff that my coach is giving us at the moment ? (the longest sprint we’ve had so far has been 120m which I doubt will have enough carryover to the 200m).
Anyhow I’ll search up the threads more, and have a real hard read but thanks anyway, just one small question though; would it be reasonable to say I can progress, given the right circumstances and training etc, to low 10’s if I can run high 10’s at the moment, bearing in mind I didn’t do any sports up until last year which I was occasionally training at a track? I mean, obviously power is needed as well as technique which my coach is working on correcting, but my main strength at the moment is my turnover and the fact I have longer legs than most people at 6"1. Do you think with adequate power increase (2.5x BW+), sound technique and correct preparation (core, speed endurance) that is possible in say 3 or 4 years time to get my times in the low 10’s?
The only safe statements to make are:
