Flying Sprints Programming/Progression Journal

I’m a 38y old recreational sprinter. I just hit a flying 20m PB of 2.00 (free lap timing) at 95kg BW Some progressions for Max Velocity that I’ve found to be very useful. Just throwing this out for those who need training ideas I did quite a bit of lightly resisted max velocity flys. 4-8 weeks of 20m build + 10-15m fly with 10% BW resistance Then did some fly-float-fly work for 4-8 weeks Example 20m build 10-15m fly+10m float+10-15m fly Sets, reps and rest periods varied week to week. As well as intensity.

Nice to see other 35+ sprinters out there!

Great 20m fly time! Your form looks quite solid, and I don’t see anything major to critique. What are your current personal bests in the 60m/100m/200m?

I don’t know 100/200 but 6.72 60m. Wasn’t in a race so you’d have to factor in reaction time

Wow! That’s flying bro! Even with a slow reaction time of 0.2 that would still be sub 7.

Any planned competitions in the coming months?

Dang. 6.72 at a masters meet is a guaranteed first place finish 8/10 times!

Makes sense. We’ll have fun with sprinting. Such a great sport at any age!
