          So we got the best track team in our province in Canada and were invited last year to Arcadia invitational. Tons of great sprinters/hurdlers and etc. from our school over time, here are some example workouts after long warm ups:

          6x60m -full speed, turn around and go back (one by one, about 2-3 mins rest)

          random number of starts from blocks

          6x200m (70% speed) – 2x150m (70% speed) – 4x100m – full speed (all walk back recovery)

          2x6x60m – near or at full speed, same recovery as above + 8x200m -tempo (5-6 mins rest between sets)

          2x6x60m with 10m jogging start – same recovery as above

          2x3x150m – full speed – walk back recovery / full recovery between sets

          Thoughts? lol

          You will blow up and those full speed won’t be anything but some kind of torture at ever decreasing speeds towards the finish line.

          2x6x60 full speed >> is this split runs / speed end?

          2x3x150m – full speed – walk back recovery / full recovery between sets

          That’s not humanly possible. You can’t perform multple reps of full intensity with walkback recovery.

          Why not try some f.e. for absolute speed development 4×60 full intensity full recovery, or 4 x sprint-float-sprint, or flying 10s / 20s. For speed endurance 2×130 at full speed with full recovery, for longer sprinters they can do something like 2×250.

          The 8x200m “tempo”, at what pace is it run? You shouldn’t mix extensive tempo (arround 32s) with speed endurance (2x6x60) or speed (4×60) on the same session.

          Those are school workouts.
          Personal workouts are like 5x FEF, 4x75m, 6x60m, 3x30m+3x60m, 2x60m 2x150m, 1x80m 1x100m 1x120m, 1x150m and so on with variations.

          “6x200m (70% speed) – 2x150m (70% speed) – 4x100m – full speed (all walk back recovery)”

          Lower the volume and increase the speed id say.

          The school always has top sprinters, my take is guys coming in naturally fast and building some fitness levels and basically being beginners, by learning some technique and running fast here and there, get faster. However when it comes down to yearly improvements… thats where it would fall off.

          The energy relation with Workouts is simply classified with the orientation of steps and coordination…
          If desirable work are not done than it will be completed by any one…
