Race Segment Improvement Question

[100m001]

@T-Slow

Forgive me if I am stating the obvious, but if you are only accelerating out to 20m and holding that speed (especially if you are accelerating at 95% of your max) you shouldn’t be able to get too close to even 90% of your true max speed. I am thinking this workout is one of the CNS depth vs. breadth issues that Charlie talks about.

I do these as 4x4x50m with not much rest early in GPP and fatigue and my coach has always told me that this fatigue is a normal part of the early GPP workouts. We usually rest very little between reps, and a couple of minutes between sets early on. How long are you resting between sets?

I’m sure someone senior will weigh in with the solution.

Thanks. Yea, I just wanted to get an idea that I was doing this right.

As far as breaks, I take about 2 minutes between each rep and about 5-7 minutes between each set.
