txarmyguy23 said:(ex: running 5 200 meters at 32 seconds with say 1minute recovery then dropping it to 5 200meters at 31 seconds and possibly drop his recovery time to say 30-45 seconds) the last 2 weeks use 1 day for sprints and the 2nd for a 4-6mile run.
I wouldn't call 32 second 200s a sprint. It's also somewhat silly to do program that depends on running the 200 ONE SECOND faster as though you can control it that precisly.
The mile is 90% aerobic. Sprinting is anaerobic. The workouts should be geared towards increasing aerobic capacity/threshold. Examples of these workouts would be 3x800 at threshold and 1 ominute job, n x 800 at threshold with 34 seconds rest, or Nx400 /w 30 seconds rest, etc.
Case closed.
I'll PM you my trainers. They have some pretty elite guys though I'm more one of those guys who is just doing it for the hell of it.
