Sprint Workout?

Weathers getting better…still cold in high 30s-low 40s.

but i have a question…how much is my weight affecting me.
Last spring, I was @ 175 with 12-15% BF running well…11.2 and 23.8 hand timed for the sprints but i wasnt doing much lower body lifting

i went into winter(indoor) @ 190 around same BF level with stronger legs by a good amount but…my performance seemed to drop. @ first…it was my start but i worked on it and fixed it up a little with better reaction but then it seemed like my flying speed wasnt as good because kids were getting me at the end of the 55m. Last spring I was most dominant with flying speed because I was the 1 catching up to people.

My indoor 55 times were 7.09ish FAT, 6.8 hand timed so I was disappointed

Im currently losing weight while trying to maintain strength. Am i heading the right way?

You might ask Dallas Robinson what he thought his chances were once he gained back–after he got injured, etc.–the weight he lost to sprint last year.

I went from about 215 to 195 at 6’4" over about 2 years after I decided that I wanted to weigh what Asafa weighs. There’s no doubt in my mind that losing the weight made me faster, but it is very difficult for anyone to separate weight loss performance effects from training performance effects.

The key, I think, is to make a longer-term commitment to doing it slowly. If you keep the weight loss to not more than about 1 pound per week, you can do so without losing strength and without missing nutrients like protein that you need for recovery from the track.
