What sort of Base should an Elite sprinter carry? At least 5k/d in my opinion, with Peaks during the Base building phase that will probably go over 6k/d.
I still think that a strong endurance base is required, even for sprinters (50/100).
Just to play devil's advocate, one of the best masters sprinters in the world, Mike Ross, typically does 3500 yards per workout with mostly race pace and recovery swimming. Can't argue with his results.
