I always thought of stride as 5k race pace and really concentrating on form.
I don't think I've ever been on a team with/coached anyone who does strides at 5k pace. 800 pace or faster is more typical for high school/college runners.
I think mile pace is about normal for strides, if you were to get a speed measure on them. And usually shorter than 100m at speed.
Sprinting is not measured in effort. That's distance runner talk. Sprints are measured in speed.
But by either metric, if Wayde Van Niekerk did some "90-95%" effort flying 100 repeats, they would all be around 11 flat or faster. He too might not look like he's sprinting to the casual eye, but only a fool would say an 11 flat wasn't a sprint. And yes, only a fool would say 49 or 50 second reps aren't a sprint.
Fool, because you fail to understand that you too could sprint if you bothered to develop the proper technique. Instead your mind stubbornly imagines that 800 elites like Coe are some kind of special endurance monster. Maybe they have bigger lungs, bigger hearts, more red blood cells, more type 2a muscle. No!
😂
You getting mad at me bro?
Why would I get mad at a 🤡 for fooling himself?
OP and nearly every runner on these boards are 🐌🐌🐌with no clue how to go fast.
You all literally think if you run harder it means you will go faster. It's incredibly stupid! Guarantee any time the subject of sprinting comes up, you guys stink the place up with your elemental cluelessness
30 seconds is a useless recovery interval for 100m reps. If you are doing them anywhere close to all out, 30s is not enough. Setting it at 30s only ensures that it will be at the same pace you would do longer reps at.
That is particularly pointless when you realize 20 to 30 percent of a 100m rep is getting up to speed.
If you're really serious about 100m, what they are good for is to refine your top speed. Take full recovery, up to 10 (even 20) minutes. Do them all out, and the next rep only when you are damn well good and ready. Aim to match your flying 30 pace, e.g. if you fly 30 in 3.6, get used to a flying 100 in 12 flat.
Or do them from a still start and work on increasing top speed by getting the phases right
Google Mihaly Igloi, Bob Schul, Jim Beatty, Lazlo Tabori, Sandor Iharos, and the Igloi Method. In a nutshell, Igloi’s trained his athletes with huge volumes of reps between 100-300 meters with short recoveries. Bob Schul won the 1964 Olympic 5000 using this method. This training also produced mile WRs both indoors and out.
If poster Ghost of Igloi still lurks here, he trained under this system and could offer some great insights.
