Technically it was Ben Johnson's time of 9.83 set on August 30, 1987, but he admitted to taking steroids, so the first legal sub 9.9 time was, 9.86 by Carl Lewis, on August 25, 1991.

What training will improve anaerobic endurance?

Interval training is quite effective to develop Anaerobic Capacity. Working over a distance of maybe 60/80m with a active rest (walking) of 20seconds is a good place to start. To make it harder, increase the distance of the sprints and decrease the rest period. Pyramid training will also help. *Sprint 20m have a 10 second break *Sprint 40m have a 15 second break *Sprint 60m have a 15 second break *Sprint 80m have a 20 second break *Sprint 60m *Sprint 40m *Sprint 20m
