Train for what you want to improve
Train for what you want to improve
Success, whether it be on the road or the track, is about specificity. Keep it simple – train for what you want to improve.
If you’re trying to become a better road sprinter, find a nice quiet bit of road, go out and sprint up and down that. If you’ve got a track then even better, as it’s safer and you can really focus on your efforts.
Don’t go for volume, go for quality over quantity. If you do too much then the quality begins to suffer and you don’t get so much from it.
You’re better off training at 100 per cent, and doing four efforts, than doing it at 95 per cent and doing six or eight.
Give yourself sufficient time to recover, so the quality is there, and then every effort has to be 100 per cent.
