How do you structure a sprint workout?
A Simple Sprint Progression Plan
- Block 1: Hill Sprints – limiting speed and overall stress but building capacity.
- Block 2: 15-20m Starts – done on flat surface, working on acceleration.
- Block 3: 30-60m Sprints – working on building up to top speed.
- Block 4: Flying Sprints – working exclusively on top speed.
How long should a sprint workout be?
A sprint workout need not exceed 20 minutes, including work and recovery periods. Fifteen 50-yard sprints taking 8 seconds apiece with 40 seconds of recovery would take only 12 minutes to complete. The great thing about sprint training is that it produces maximum results with minimum time commitment.

How do sprinters train for explosive running strength?
In order to build explosive running strength, sprinters do interval training to get faster. Start off by sprinting 400m and then follow that with a 200m sprint. Then do a 100m sprint before closing with a 50m run. All four of those races help sprinters gain endurance, improve technique, build speed and get quicker.
