I'd recommend you start with 2 swims, 2 bikes and 2 runs per week, and add 10% distance on weekly basis. Hope that helps!

How you train in the 100m sprint?

First of all you dont train, you cant train and you will not train... you will be Kate. You walk like Kate, talk like Kate, you become Kate then and only then will you be able to reach the potential that no one in the world has except Kate. The problem is you will Not walk, talk or be like Kate. YOU cannot be Kate, therefore you cannot train and therefore you will never finish the 100m sprint in time. First of all who ever wrote this you are wrong!! you do have to train for the 100 meter cause if you dony how do you expect to get faster. Basically you probably do alot of sprint work at practice. you also do some pop ups and some block work. Cause you have to be in a block to do the 100 meter. the block gives you an advantage cause you foot pops of the pettle which allows you to get out really good
