FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Sprint spikes — fit?
Snug, often a half to full size down from your training shoe, with the toes at the end. A loose spike wastes power and blisters; a too-tight one disables. Try them on; never guess.
Starting block — for solo training?
Yes — a portable block lets you practice starts (the part of the race most decided) anywhere. The drive phase out of the blocks is where the 100 is won or lost.
Full rest between reps?
Yes — sprinting is neuro-muscular, not aerobic. You recover 3 to 5 minutes between reps so each is maximal; fatigued sprinting trains slowness. Quality over quantity, every time.
Top-speed or acceleration work?
Both, phased — acceleration (0 to 30 m) early in the cycle, top-speed (fly 10s to 30s) mid, speed endurance late. Periodize; doing all three all the time trains nothing well.
User Reviews
Sprint training and my marathon kit share the periodize-the-phases brain — drive phase vs top speed vs speed endurance, done in blocks. Full rest between reps, agreed; fatigued sprinting trains slowness.
