Patrick was telling me how he feels he needs to be doing more speed work to improve both his 100m and 200m times.
He was saying how you can run tempo/longer distance sprints until you drop, but if you’re not sharp enough, then you won’t run fast times. This is fair enough.
It makes sense, however I can’t help but agree with what you’re saying, Sharmer, and that the 400m strength he would gain would help him remain smooth for that last 50-60m of the 200m.
Personally, I think he should can his 100m goals totally, since as an older man now (he’s 35 this year I think), he’d probably fair better over the 200m.
When was the last time he ran a 100m in less than 10.2x?
