This is a sprints question so it may not get any responses but.....
...LSU and Baylor train on total opposite ends of the spectrum. Baylor is volume, interval (repeats, etc.) oriented and LSU is speed oriented. If you add Baylor's volume up it is at over 10K per week of repeats, intervals, race modeling,etc. LSU is nowhere near that.
As a new sprints coach which direction do you think works best and why?
Is your team a high school team? What type of athletes do you have and what is the current condition? How many kids do you have?
I believe that for a growing body you need some volume and you need to adapt a body before you hit a really high intensity in training.
On some levels I feel Clyde Hart is a like the Lydiard of sprinting. He trains his people to be able to run everything from a 1-8 in a very similar fashion and they have had good success right in the middle. You also dont see a high rate of injury with his professional athletes. I prefer this method instead of a high intensity workload 4 or 5 days a week. The results are better at first with a high intesity but over the course of a season or two seasons with a lot of races it might be better to have a good (sprinter) base.
I think that is a very good answer. I also prefer Harts method, not to say the LSU method does not work. Hell, they have the collegiate record in the 4 x 400 and the Xman won the 100, 200 and 400 at nats.
