▲ 8 r/Sprinting
Would your programming change significantly if a week was something other than 7 days? What would am ideal training plan look like if you just had a free form season/year?
I think there's a few ways this could affect things, but what prompted the question was seeing another thread talking about "don't sprint more than 3 days per week", which makes some sense when you are tied to a 7 day week. But it seems like sprinting every other day would be ideal (at least for most portions of training, obviously rest and racing can impact that).
If that's true, then you'd ideally be sprinting (or doing a hard/fast day on the track) 50 out of 100 days. But because we tend to build our training around a 7 day week, most athletes would only be programmed to go fast 42 out of 100 days.
