          I'm primarily a 100m runner, currently in my off-season. Doing lots of 120m and 150m, which i know primarily trains the speed endurance. My first meet starts in 2 to 3 months time and i'm having 300m runs included in my programme as part of my over-run programs? My question is, is the extra 200m a bit too much? I imagined a 100m runner doing 200m for over-run workouts.

          Any advice/opinion would be much appreciated, Thanks

          Depends on what relays you might be doing.

          nah, the 300s will be fine for you.  if nothin else, they'll help you out lasting through rounds and relays.  plus you'll do some 200s as well during your season, which the 300s will be nice for.

          If you are strictly a 100m guy (and don't run on the 4×4 say) I think there are better options than running 300s. Personally, I'd prefer to keep the rep distances lower than 250m.
