This is the second element of eliminating your opposition at the end of a race. Each athlete is tired, but the athlete who goes for his or her arms when exhausted will be the one who can keep the leg speed up while others are fading. Specifically, driving the arms downward helps to maintain turnover rate. However, before the athlete can effectively reach the critical point or drive the arms, the engine that powers the running action, the cardiovascular system, must be efficient. To train that engine, we must be adapted to the feeling of what it is like to kick at high speed.
Minimal rest is given after each.
The 200-meter distance is perfect. It's not so long the athlete gives up on the intensity, but not so short that it becomes irrelevant in a race. Use proper sprint form, learn to run fast when you are tired, and understand your sprint capabilities at the critical point in the racing distance to develop a thundering kick. Inc.
