I have a race this weekend and I’m eleven, I’ve been watching videos all over YouTube and this is the best and most reliable channel ever. I started off this season with a time of 14.20 for 100 and in just 2 weeks of intense training and drills I brought my time down to 12.70

Coach can you mention speed and endurance track workouts for 100/200m sprinters. Offseason tracks and in season (60 days away from competing) track work for speed and speed endurance.And the intensity per week.Thankyou :)

Wish I got into fitness and track before I graduated high school😔. Now there just past regrets of wishing I could’ve been in some type of team and took it serious.

My recent coach told me to keep my arms at 90 when sprinting which went completely against my old coaches who said no such thing

Coach, I have trained track professionally for 2 years before lockdown. I am 15 years old right now and I started working out and got some muscles too. Now, I wanna go pro in track but due to some reasons I can't train with a coach. So, I decided to self-train for it. Can you please tell me what all can I do for self-training?

The top top speed is by far the most important topic and top speed is were the bigger difference is..Just ask bolt 😆 He sucks on 30m acceleration vs other competion but man he showed the world how important top speed is.. So plz do more or someone guide me to the right place.
