Also practice longer sprints, 1 minute or so with a 5 minute break in between. Try it on a slight hill, use the rise to slow you down a bit and then jump hard so you are sprinting from a slower starting speed than what you would in a race, good explosive practice.
Cheers climbo, excellent, just the sort of thing I was looking for... might just try a couple of sets to start orf with
Comm Games RR was fantastic! Didn't get there 'till after 2, but cheered the boys on 'till the end.
We were hovering between the 500m and 200m markers... even scored a bidon from one of the Canadian blokes (not sure who, he was in a group of 5 and just hurled it at us)
Top day.
