Periodizazion sprint

Expert Discussion Planning and Periodization
1

Dear frieds,

I have some questions regarding periodization set up for short sprints:

a) In first block , is good use fartlek runs and easy acceleration runs over 100m, at 3/4 speed; what are the parameters you’d use for fartlek?

b)How many days a week should be minimum for mid level sprinters?

c) In first block is better to have weights on different days, or to combine with running?Do I understand correctly that in B you may want to use weights before short speed?

Thanks for your time.

Hello Davids,

Please could you be more specific, because it all depend on who are the athletes you are dealing with : age and training age. Answers won’t be the same for kids and adults with same level of performance.
