How to make your 200m time faster
With the World Indoor Athletics Championships underway, I thought it would be good to look at some of the Men’s 200m outdoor times.
Have a look at the graph below that Paula Jardine has collated.
If you look at Carl Lewis, he appears to have a steady progression and consistent set of results. Michael Johnson has some very sharp peaks, indicating a rapid increase in performance in a short time.
What could possibly lead to such sudden improvements in running time, for someone who is already a fast runner?
Any thoughts are welcome in the comments below.

Time is very precious and especially as busy parents of even busier teenagers, we need all the help we can get. As well as following the programme, it has been really useful to dip into certain topics as and when situations occur. Advice on how to prevent and counteract knee problems was certainly helpful when Helen started complaining that ‘her knees were hurting’ directly after competitions.
