I want to take 3 seconds off my 100m time?

Question

I just finished my recovery from a stress fracture, i kept myself in shape by doing cycling every week. I want to take a minimum of two seconds off my 100 time. I have about 5 months to do so before pre season track begins.

Any advice on what to do?

Answer 6

Depending on your previous personal best, 3 seconds off a 100 m track distance is A LOT.  After an injury, it is always advised to ease into it gradually.  All aspects of fitness need to be honed, including power, strength, and speed.  So a varied regime to re-establish your fitness level (cardio, flexibility, muscular).  On top of that, specific training for sprints.  This can be achieved by fartleks (short bursts of all out sprinting followed by running recovery intervals). Weights are invaluable as well.  Good luck!

Answer 7

2 seconds is a lot to take off of a 100m time but I would say your best bet would be to do weight lifting workouts on tuesdays and thursdays or monday, wednesday, and friday, to build strength and do running workouts monday through friday (I would recommend something along the lines of a 400, 300, 200 or like 4 150's) and plyometrics would be great to do as well because they help with your fast twitch muscle fibers.  I would not recommend long distance running because it may actually make your time slower and make sure you vary your workouts so that you do not burn out before season even starts.  Take the weekends off and enjoy.  Eat healthy and stay away from drugs so your body can perform at the level you want it to... I hope this helps a bit... Good luck!

Answer 8

Toe running. My time is 11.53 sconds (I'm thirteen!). All you have to do is run on your toes and the balls of your feet; don't touch the ground with your heels. keep your center of gravity low., (Hunch, sorta). Don't move your arms much untill about 60 meters in (Focus on fast feet), then start pumping your arms.

Answer 9

work on your drive phase and your block starts... block starts you want to feel like your about to fall out and well compressed when the gun goes off explode out of the blocks and keep driving your knees... after about 30 meters you want to gradually get up right and keep driving those knees which is really important and stay on your toes... good form could make you or break you so i would work on that first... watch some tape and get out there and try it...
