I really have no idea what I could run an All-Out 100, 200 or even 400 now. These are more-or-less controlled strides or pick-up distances. Track workouts today (almost 49) usually start out with some warm-up 400's to find the rhythm for the workout - not to blast them. After 800's or 1000's or Mile's, it might end with some 200 striders in 28-30 (not all out). For my events (which have always been the events that I have enjoyed since HS - 800, 1500, mile, 3k) - speed endurance workouts are the norm. Last night while I was warming up for an Indoor workout, I asked one of the local Masters Sprinters what his workout was for the night. He said he would be working on his starts (10x out of the blocks). As I continued my warm-up, I was thinking that my "starts" would = doing some 400's. Use it or lose it - I guess?!
