Quik, your plan seems a lot like Clyde Hart. He talks about 200s progressing through the season from, say, 12@32, to 10@30 to 8@28, 7@27, etc. all the way down to 5@25, even 4@24 for his best runners. For his guys, it's always the number of reps plus 20 equals the target time. (Of course, all of his guys run under 21, so the target times have to be adjusted for who you're working with. Rest stays constant at 2 mins.
That is where I got the idea from and adapted it into my system. Hart places more focus on it though throughout the year. I however just got sick of doing a shitload of slow extensive tempo work and needed an alternative between my harder days which wouldn't burn me out and after experimenting with the 200's I found it fit well into my program allowed me to recover but at the same time improved my fitness more than classical extensive tempo.

hey quik do you think those 6×200 help with your short races 55-60m and lj or geared towards your 100-200?

I havent jumped this year because of knee problems last year and early this year. As far as the workouts helping my 60 I could only assume. I did pr 3x in the 60 this year so I dunno. It came late in the season when I started to drop volume. I will say my legs were 10x fresher than they have been in past years though when it came time to compete.

i spoken to some short sprinters who came from a tempo based program and they say that the tempo based workouts help them finish there races strong 55-400m and keep them race fresh all season but also take a certain body type and style to succeed during such workouts.
