60m-100m Training workouts

Expert Discussion Advanced Sprint Training
1

Hey guys. I have these workouts that I have contemplated doing for sometime now. I have been doing different workouts that I have had people tell me for my PB’s and times I have run this season that the workouts are not fast enough. I have been a sprinter that would build speed by building strength. I was hoping you guys could take a look at these workouts, let me know what kind of changes can and should be made. Each cycle lasts 4 weeks and the paces are at the very bottom for each cycle. If there isn’t a pace set, it’s just tempo work. Do not pay any attention to the words tape drills. Diagonals is just run from one corner of the field and shag across the endzone and repeat.

Thanks in adance guys. I hope to get some wonderful feedback to help guide me towards my decision of what workout to do. Thanks…

The actual workout does’nt look bad but I’m just wondering about getting some base work in like 10-20 min runs or 1-2 miles like every other day or every 3rd day. I am interested to hear from others…

“BASEWORK” for sprinters is sprinting.
No need to develope an aerobic base for sprinters. Do a search on tempo training and you will learn about the aerobic benefits as well as other benfits of it.

Why are a lot of coaches thinking that way. Until today!!! Sadly it doesn’t work no more. At least for the majority. I see it everyday. People who think that way always seem to stay where they are. OR sometimes pop, but for a very small time and then. its all over

Thanks guys. Do you have any suggestions for things that i could do as alternatives. I have done a lot of the same workouts for year and I want to try something different to see if it works and to see if it can be another alternative. Basically I need to get some guts to try something different. I don’t think I have much to lose and I really want to see if training faster will help me compete faster. Any suggestions would be great. As crazy as it sounds, this is less base training than I have done in the past and I’m honestly looking forward to 200m hills. I think…

The topic says “60m-100m Training workouts”, but this looks like a program for a 400-800m runner…
