Tough one for the sprint crew today:
200+200 @ 1s slower than PR 200m, 2min rest, finish on guts
15min rest
150+150 @ go for it, 2min rest, repeat
When your body fails you, find a way to hold your form. Once speed decays, form and guts is all you’ve got to stay competitive.

The athletes who show fatigue in erratic ways also tend to slow down the most.
Those who can hold form will sustain enough efficiency to prolong the rate of speed decay and start pulling away from their opponents who are “tying up”.
Highest avg speed wins the race. 🙂

If I remember right, you were notorious for maintaining immaculate form the last 100m of the quarter. Would you credit these types of workouts to that?
Also, what pace was that 600 in? Come through 400 4s slower than PR and finish? That workout sounds BRUTAL!

This would kill me on the track… but I’m going to try the time equivalents on my new echo bike this weekend

Hey, I'm a little fuzzy on the sprinter's jargon here
Can you explain "200+200 @ 1s" please? I'm assuming it's a 400m shuttle but uncertain
