    I’m a little confused…are you currently only training twice a week? Some thoughts….

    1.) That’s a lot of sprint drills. I really don’t think you’d need even half of the total volume of drills you have right now. I’d say that you should try to do about two reps of each of the drills your doing right now and you should try to have some sort of variety in what your doing.

    2.) What are you doing for weight room and plyos? How confident do you feel about your technique?

    3.) I would keep sprinting, weights, and plyos all on the same day. As a general rule of thumb, keep high CNS activities on one day and give yourself at least 48 hours before another one. Do that 3x a week and do tempo or GS on days in between.

    4.) The volume seems a little bit high on the speed work. I’d try to keep the volume for speed work in the range of 180-300m. If you want to do timed 100’s, keep that to its own day and do fly 30’s on another.

    5.) For the fly 30’s, what is the run in distance? I’d say you need more than 3 minutes rest between reps(At least 1 minute for every 10 meters run, including run in). Since your less experienced, I think you would benefit more from something like 5x50m all out because you would be able to get reps on acceleration and maxV at the same time.
