How do i get faster at sprints?

Question

I am a good 2k and more runner but when it comes to 100 etc im not good at it.

not many long distance runners are.

has anyone got any tips on how to improve my sprinting speed.???

thanks

Answer 1

intervals may help...run normal pace then sprint to a specific location like a tree or stop sign...hill repeats also may improve your speed b/c they build muscle in your legs increasing your speed on any other runs.

Answer 2

im a good sprinter and sometimes how i drop my time is i give me a deadline i say ok in the 100 i give me a 11.0 limit if i dont hit that time or below then i keep on doing it until i do.....but if you are just staring sprinting start off with like 11.5 to 13 seconds
