Elitetrack: Sport Training & Conditioning

lol, i feel like my warmup is short 30-45min..

holy cow, my warmup is 800m jog, and A's, B's, and some accels to 20-35m then some skips arm rotation here and there, all within 12 mins or less. Maybe i should do those long warmups see what it does, i do live in BC canada one of them cold lands.

If it's cold, you would generally want a longer warm-up. How warm are you after that?

The warmup I give my sprinters before a competition takes about one hour to complete.

hey mike what do u perfer ur sprinters to do 400 or 800m mobility run before meets? i am planning on making changes this week bc i dont feel loose until finals..

The warmup I posted above is actually Coach Shaver's warmup. My athletes do a 1200m warmup (none of which is jogging) on meet days and on training days do one of 2 different 1200m 'short' warmups or a 2000m 'long' warmup.

its just soo weird that i cant get my body warmup on meet days for prelims i try and do build after build but i cant get no turnover nor speed when doing them its like i have one gear and cant go faster, but after i race im fine.. this week i am thinking about intro some overspeed starts to force me to run faster then follow that up with a flying 10 or 20..

Sounds like competition/performance anxiety.

i dont think so i even feel like this during practice i just cant get going until that first blk start or sprint its hard to get going during builds—its weird..

is this too much:

400 skip jog
quick static strecth
sprint drills 1x25m
highknees
a skips
backward skip
butt kick
crossovers
b skip
fast leg butt kicks
fast leg cycles
fast leg knee lift
str bound
carioka
dym flex 10 drills 1x5
3 builds
3x3 dou leg hops
3 starts

hey mike 2 questions why 1200m? do u mind sharing your meet warmup format with me plz?

we have a diff warmup for everyday
one thing is the same tho each day
we do 800m around the track where we do diff dynamic stuff (like side jumping jacks, arm circles, lunges, backwards running etc and we jog in btw)
we do static stretches light
dynamic stretching and movements
hurdle drills
a b c drills
accelerations

I don't think it's too much. My guys do considerably more than that. We also do an AM shakeout.

The only real reason we do 1200m is because it works in the context of how I set up my warmups. It might be too much or too little for others but it works great in the context of my total warmup / workout scheme.

I also had great success with an "AM shakeout"  before our first meet.  Both of my triple jumpers PR'ed at our first meet and I believe a lot had to do with me dragging them out to the track at the crack of dawn.

why u think that? i know that it can help distance runners but sprinters?
