Gives me an idea for a race
4 x 100 relay vs sub 27 distance guy for a 10,000 16.2 per 100
Sprinters would be slowish hobby sprinters say 14 flat types.
so each does a 25x100 with 48 seconds rest
Or to put it another way can you do 25x100 avg of 16 off 48 seconds rest?
The problem is getting each sprinter back to his starting point in ~48 seconds.
Instead, I would suggest the old continuous relay: FIVE sprinters doing 20x100 each. You run your 100, hand off to the next guy, and then stay in that zone until the baton comes around again. Now you're getting a little over a minute rest before you take the baton again.
But in answer to your question: The typical somewhat athletic, but untrained, 14sec 100m guy would not be able to do 20x100 @ ~16sec/64sec recovery. That would be pukin' time.
