How much rest for sprint intervals?

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?

  • Exactly.Lets say your goal time for a 50 is 30 sec.Allowing 2 sec for the dive that means if you split"evenly" it would be 14/16.That means your AFAP 25s should be around 16 sec.Give yourself enough rest to go that fast.If you start doing 17s add more rest. I guess if you're in a coached workout, that means sitting out a few or going easy on a few?
