Some athletes will benefit from high-volume sprint training, and others will require a more targeted approach. As a coach or a self-coached athlete, you must balance multiple factors when designing your own sprint training plan. Understanding what type of sprinter you are is one of the first steps.In this video coach Harnden talks about to sub 10 second sprinters he coached that required vastly different types of training and volume.
