Hey man im 16 and i run the 100 and my start is great but when i come out of my drive phase and stand up, i dont go any faster and 50m into the race ppl start leaving me...Any suggestions, tips, comments??

@miniwade8cwm Work on top end speed (short runs with maximum recovery) and speed endurance work (keeping the distance less than 150m) and that should help.

@roxtar55 I don't think Tellez has his guys do 1 mile runs. I'm pretty familiar with his training methods but I hadn't heard that. The endurance gained from running a 1 mile run has very little carry over to sprinting. The physiology is completely different.

can anyone please help me on sprinting? im having a selection for athletics by this month end :(

@roxtar55

you don't know what you're saying. you can never isolate certain fiber types. your nervous systems recruits more and more muscles fibers (slow to fast twitch) depending on the work intensity. For instance, for a 100m sprint all fibers are recruited, meaning all slow and fast twitch fibers are being used.

@HPCsport I mean it sort of looks like usian bolts running form. his hands come up to his mouth, and his other hand is near the hips while harms are bended.

@HPCsport Really? That's not what Tom Tellez says. He's old school, but he definitely knows what he is talking about.

[HPCsport]

@roxtar55 That's a VERY old school training theory that holds no weight in science and research on muscle physiology and performance. Running mileage is definitely not an important part of a sprinters training.

[roxtar55]

@HPCsport Yes. Sprinting and plyometrics train fast twitch muscles. Depending on the type of weight training, it can be working either fast twitch or slow twitch muscles. Endurance runs that work the slow twitch muscles, like the mile, are also essential for a sprinter as well.
