Sprinting Routine

I don’t know if this belongs here but I figured strength athletes are more likely to do sprints than say a bodybuilder.

I just started today and did something like:

100 meters x 2
90 meters x 5

For those of you who perform sprints, what does your routine look like?

i’ll just say one thing, how did you come up with the amount of sprints you would do? did you just pick numbers randomly? or what you thought is good?

check out some of the inno-sport material on dropoffs (inno sport basics by kelly baggett)… you should be keeping track of your times during the session, and managing fatigue properly… i mean, if your work capacity is insane, and you want to get everything out of the session, you shouldn’t just pick an arbitrary number… in the same respect, if your work capacity sucks, and one 100 kills you, and you just run another + 5 90’s, then you’re digging a huge hole.

figure out your dropoffs in-session as a way to autoregulate your training… works damn good for sprinting… you dont always need to go to a major dropoff either, it’s just good to have parameters and get the most out of your training when you need too.

Yes. I just went to the track and started sprinting. Thanks for the info.
