Well how fit are you? I think Charlie sums it up best “why fight for tenths at the start when you can gain seconds through general conditioning” Im starting to realize with my kids that its more about fitness than it is about spectacular programs on paper…

Special Endurance has to be built up. Dont show up at the track and start running your 200m close to your race times out of the blue!!!you need a base general fitness before you start doing this stuff.

There’s a difference between general fitness and Special Endurance. i’d keep the SE at 150 and down to around age 16, but you can get in plenty of general fitness through tempo, med ball work etc
