Speed endurance the key to *all* 11/12second sprinters?

[Track007]

@Charlie_Francis

Yes, that would be one example but not necessarily for Ben as he usually didn’t go farther than 150 in SE. I would usually keep Mons for work out to 80m, with Wed 150s, and Fri out to 120 if the sessions was sub max on Wed but perhaps only one sub max 120 on Fri after starts if the 150s were Max (ie 80, 100, 120 ,150 max with total recovery).

Thanks Charlie,

But what you seem to be indicating here is that Ben’s capacity to tolerate high intensity work is incredible. Based on your response he could be doing:

M- Max effort sprints up to 80
T- Tempo
W- Max effort runs 80, 100, 120, 150
T- Tempo
F- Starts, 1X120@ Sub Max Effort
S- Tempo
S- Rest

and this would be even more intense in the phase before, I assume looking something like:

M- Max effort sprints up to 60
T- Tempo
W- Max effort runs 2x3x80 or 80, 100, 120
T- Tempo
F- Starts, 2x4x60@ Sub Max Effort
S- Tempo
S- Rest

AND all with weights, plyos and medball work (and some accelerations where not mentioned).

In previous posts and material I have got off the store you seem to indicate that some separation is needed between such high intensity elements and this is why you would place SE type work (such as 2x200 or 2x250) on a Wednesday between shorter more CNS intense workouts on a Monday and Friday. What you seem to be indicating with regards to Ben is his capacity to back-up two very high CNS intense workouts within 48hours!
