Hi, I am a sprinter. I will give you some advices. You know that you don’t need distance endurance. You must work on general level of conditioning. Your longest run should last 20 minutes. It is the best to work short distances. You can two hundred repeats. Weight lifting is very important. You can do it 3 times a week. You should use weights for upper body, higher weights. You need powerful explosive muscle strength.

Hi blayne,
Since auberon has already answered your question I would just like to add few more things. My brother is professional athlete; he is into body building and weight lifting so I know thing or two about this. It is very important to have personal trainer if you want to become professional runner on short distance.
Not that I don’t believe that you can accomplish everything on your own but it is important to have a balanced nutrition together with practice. You will need a lot of carbohydrates in your nutrition because you will need strength to endure the practice.
I hope that you will accomplish your goals very soon and I know that hard work in sports always pays out so be persistent.
