I was wondering what are the main differences between training in the uk and training in america?

i know a few athletes who are thinking of going to america for training and athletes who have gone that are doing considerably better!

There is no ‘American’ or ‘UK’ system of sprint training per se. Different coaches use very different programmes in both countries. Training and competition conditions are substantially better in the USA, however, especially in the sounthern states. That’s why a lot of British sprinters run good times there during training camps early in the season and then have great difficulties trying to match or improve on these times in the UK.
