How on earth will I ever be able to come back strong on the last 25m of a 100m ***, and on the last 50m of a 200m ***, if I never go above 12.5 at race pace in training.
Rushall advocates repeats of 25 and 50 meters to train for 100 meter events and 25-75 meters for 200 meter events. 12.5s are only used to train for 50 meter events. See the chart on page 7.
