I started going to a running track this week and for my last session I did
3x 200m followed by 3x 100m
I used to sprint on grass 3x per week but I took a 4 day break between track sessions to allow my body to recover fully so I wouldn't get any shin or calf pain. Ideally I will work up to 3 track sessions per week
Is there any specific way I should approach training? Is my routine of 3x 200 and 3x 100 fine for beginners?
That's a lot of volume for a new sprinter. I would split that into two sessions, keep the recovery long, and the effort high. No jogging around, these should be all out reps. Sprint on the track with spikes on. Do some sessions about of blocks, some with flying start.
I prefer 150s and 60s in practice but doing 200s and 100s is fine. Just don't like doing events they race cause the kids get all in their heads about the times.
