Answer 1

Your running JO's! Where? I ran them too. Is it prelims, finals, regional finals? What division are you? ON a track do a mile warm up. Two laps going one way, two laps going the other way. Do ten 100's up the staight part of the track. While doing these, your first steps should be a jog, then gradually build up till the end. Now comes your actuall work-out. Start out with a 400, then a 200, then a 100. That's one set of a ladder. Do  then do one or two more of those.  Don't do more than three sets of the 400, 200, 100 though. Oh, and stretch really well after your mile warm up and after your mile cool down. And I just want to warn you. It's really intimidating out there. You think your the greatest, butit really slaps you in the face, and lowers you ego. Just remember to stay confident and despite the outcome of your race, stay strong. These are the best runners in your area, and they don't mess around. Anyway, I hope you get a good lane, and I wish you the best of luck! Have fun too! Buy a shirt! k bye!

Answer 2

if you can go to a Track Run like 10 200's Not to Fast but  not As fast as ur 0riginal times... also run sum 400's to get ur stamina up!

run sum 300's jog the first 100 a good pase not real slow  ...then sprint the last 200

practice ur Start's

Answer 3

it depends on how far away the JO are because you should build a little cardio base(yes, even for a sprinter) and a couple months before you should start doing repeats,(running the 200,100, or another distance over and over at about 80%to 100%) ladders(start with a 100 than a 200 and work your way up to an 800 and than go back down and repeat if necessary), and speed play( sprinting for about a min or two  and than jogging for a bit)

these workouts should get you in shape

just keep in mind that for sprinters the key is to train the at lactic threshold or close to max heart rate so that the body becomes used to dealing with the body moving at high speeds which will help you sustain full speed longer.
