Okay, so I am training for the 100m, and I have never had a set routine for sprinting, but I have been set up with one in the past couple weeks. What I started doing was:
sprints/ weights
tempo
tempo/weights
tempo
sprints/ weights
tempo
That’s what the first two weeks look like, and I am on week 2. Now I think I have been running with improper form or something, because my left shin is starting to get aggitated. I know I run funny because that is what I have been told, but I am not exactly sure what is considered “good” form. Anyone wanna help me?
I thought this was the beginner sprint forum. It says, “new to training”. I am pretty new to the site, perhaps you could hold my hand and show me the way? LOL sorry guys, I will delete my post if need be.
I’ll get my running training in a word document just because it changes lol.
I am 5’8 185ish, I ran a 4.9 hand timed 40yd dash, My maxes on the big 3 are as follows:
Bench: 185
Squats: 250 (ATG)
Deadlifts: 300x2
I just started trying to get faster, and I wanna run the 100m. I lift 3 times a week, and to be basic, it goes like this:
Day 1: Bench/ Squat
Day 2: Deadlift
Day 3: Bench/ Squat
I am considering changing that up a little in terms of when I do what and at what frequency, etc. but that’s it basically. I train like a powerlifter more than anything else, and as such I do do speed work and a little bit of plyos sometimes. If you need any more info to help me out, I will gladly give it.
That is one of the best threads to ever appear on this site-IMHO.
TheOne did a great job of compiling many of CF’s technical points into one thread-there is an added post towards the end of the thread as well. Of course, CF himself made the points worthy of compiling in the first place.
That thread(along with Pete’s classics or similar name) should be “required reading” for all visiting this site with an interest in speed development/technique.
DB Hammer training Principles discussion (Haven’t really got round to reading this yet However, many of the best posters contributed to this thread so well worth a look, if you know anything about DB Hammer’s methods)
:rolleyes:
I blame the following threads for this:
