Sprinting the 100m?

Question

I have one week til Provincial Finals.. so I wana prepare the best I can.

-What should I do to train/practice to keep myself at my best physical condition

-What food should I eat the day before, the day on, and half an hour before the race (My friend drinks a sip of gatorade Just before the race, to get some electrolytes in, is this good?)

-How to go off the starting blocks correctly, I am a fast sprinter, but I don't really have good technique going off the starting blocks..

-Is doing some training 2 days before the race good or bad? by training, I mean like sprinting 100m over and over again

Answer 1

- Run 5 sets of 200m dashes, each about 25 seconds, so your body gets used to doing more than you perform at.

- Carbs the day before, like pastas such as spaghetti or macaroni, eat bananas and possibly Subway the day of, cuz you get your WHOLE grains, meats, and veggies, depending on what you get. half an hour before, you should eat like wheat thins or granola, nothing big and not too much.

- For the starting blocks do at least 5 good ones each day until the meet. Make sure you aren't crouched down in an uncomfortable position. *Also at the start of the race, when the starting guy says 'runners to your marks', NEVER be the first one down in your blocks*, you want as much time as possible being loose before you go down in the blocks.

- Sure you can do that, it'd be fine, just use the day before the meet to take it easy, do light lifting possibly, but not much.

Also no candy or any bad food for you for the next week, nothing with anything partionally hydrogenated soybean oil, maltodextrin(unless made from non genetically altered corn), salt, sugar, or high fructose corn syrup. You can get rid of those for just one week to do well for a moment you've been waiting years for right?

Don't let your dreams stay dreams
