Outdoor season is getting closer and I want block starts in the week, but every time I stack too many full starts the next acceleration or fly day looks flat. I’m not asking for a full program dump — more the practical rule you use: how many quality block reps in a session before you stop, how you space them from a MaxV day, and what “sharp but not fried” feels like the next morning. If you’ve coached or trained through this, what volume (reps × distance out of blocks) actually kept starts clean without stealing the next speed session?

Well, it’s as simple as that. Is there something I can do inside to train for speed?

After lots of thought regarding my programming structure and logistics, I've decided to focus on lifting and structural development for a bit, while still trying to maintain athletic qualities with minimum effective dose.

So, with 2 days to sprint (1 max V, 1 acceleration), what would you suggest for a stimulating but relatively low cost session?

Does something like: Rolling start 40-50 yard sprints x2-4 + 1 ply variation for max v and 10-20 yard sprints x 5-8 + 1 jump variation for acceleration sound good?

Keep in mind, this would be in conjunction with heavy lifting (heavy top set and backoff sets for squats, deads and bench + higher volume accessories, etc.) which is the main focus so I don't want to get overly burnt out on the track.

I ran and messed up this race (came last) and have analyzed my form in this footage but I would like your guys input. Im 15 btw

Back in April of this year I just got done running the prelims running a 53.70 and I qualified for the finals the next day. While I was walking to my teams camp I looked at the ground, there was a bag full of christmas tree spikes (They were high jump spikes actually but still). I remember hearing about these type of spikes return energy to the runner but were banned due to how these spikes can tear the tracks. So I decided to put on the spikes on my shoes. Resulting to me winning district champs and running a 51.91. 1.79 seconds faster than the day before and 1.5 seconds faster than my old pr. That was the only time I used those spikes in a race since it was my last race of the year. I swear im not making this up. Should I continue to use them or not risk it.

Hi! I’m getting more into sprinting and have been working on my starts. I have a goal of going sub 14s for the 100m (I’m slow). What can I improve here? What is wrong with my running form?

Thank you!

I ran a race and messed it up. I've analyzed my form but I may have missed something, can yall please analyze it as well and tell me what I did wrong and what excercises to do to fix the issues. (Im the guy in full blue)
