Team, I have talked with many of you about the phases that we need to execute when racing or training for a 100-meter race. This discussion from a YouTube presenter (see below) is a classic teaching. It is essentially the same as I have taught you, but a little more detailed, and the presentation is professional. Different coaches use different phase names, but the concept here is solid. This video will make the information available to you anytime you want to review it. Some things to keep in mind: Sprint athletes our age will reach acceleration and max velocity sooner than the professional athletes shown. What that means from an energy use standpoint is that we will be running in the deceleration phase longer than the percentages discussed. In fact, for us, all of the percentages discussed will be different. As I have always said, “sprint fitness” is a powerful personal tool for a masters sprinter. Enjoy! ~~Rick Riddle
