Sprint Training Phases

Can some of you help me? I am a 100m sprinter with a pr of 10.30. I’m 5’3", 162lbs. I would like to set up some workouts for myself to run from March 15 - July 9.

I’m not sure how to set up the phases, what the phases mean, and how long they should ideally last. Can you also give me a couple of examples of workouts in each of the phases?

Thanks guys!

yeah id like to know also

DP what are you doing at the moment training wise.5’3 with a 10.30pr is that FAT?

i have posted the UH/SMTC training programme which shows how to periodise your programme,different than the CF approach but will set a sample.also consider buying the CFTS(charlie francis training system)

I have competed at the US Outdoor Championships in 2002 and was .01 out of qualifying for 2003. My top three 100 times are 10.30, 10.33, and 10.34 all FAT.

The reason I am asking for March is because I am going to Lake Placid, NY for a Skeleton and Bobsled camp for one week then followed by domestic training and competing.

Here is what I have been doing. Let me know what you think of it and what could be missing.
