Daily speed-support plate
Sprinter's
Plate
Sprinters need enough total energy, visible carbs, and repeatable recovery so power survives the whole training block.
Daily plateCarbs stayPre-session snackRecovery
Use this sprint rule
Keep visible carbs on the plate, protect the pre-session snack, and use recovery to hold speed across the whole training block.
Sprint reminders
Carbs are performance support, not a threat to speed.
Snack before training and recover after.
Body-talk culture can underfuel sprinters fast.
Next action
Choose one carb source that belongs on the plate every training day.
Pick one snack the athlete can use before speed or lift work.
Choose one repeat recovery default that happens before the day drifts.
What not to do
Do not let body-talk culture push carbs off the plate.Do not treat pre-session food like optional cleanup work for sprinters.Do not blame the program before checking whether the athlete is actually fueled for speed.
Sprinters usually stay more powerful when the plate supports the week instead of chasing a leaner look.
