I am curious as to what others think is an appropriate amount of rest is when sprinting during workouts -- let's say for 25s, 50s, 75s, and 100s? Also, is there any advantage to doing sprints with a short amount of rest?
There is no such thing as "sprinting" on short rest.
Leslie,
Try 10 X 25 on 1:00 with 15 Y/M all out breakouts and then cruise the rest of the way. It only relies on the CP-ATP energy system which is quickly replenished and even I have enough recovery time to be very explosive on all efforts. In a team setting this is a fun workout where you mix up the lanes so (in a 6 lane pool) the 6 fastest are in the first wave and can race each other, the next 6 fastest in the next wave, etc.
I alternate lactate tolerance and lactate production workouts; 1 the first week and the other the following week.
