Oscar Peyton, top American M55 sprinter, shares training secrets

Oscar at 2006 Charlotte nationals.

Oscar Peyton’s 11.64 and 23.85 are the top sprint times in the M55 rankings. (Ignore Lyndon Herzberg.) He’s entered at Sacramento, and aims to show his speed. But he’s also showing his wisdom. He writes: “I just posted my final weekly workout on my blog (speedemon). I did what I said I would do for forty-one consecutive weeks leading up to the Nationals in Sacramento. Best wishes for all attending.” On his blog, Oscar writes: “Be creative with your workouts. I go into each . . . not knowing exactly what I’m going to do that day. . . . I do know what areas I would like to concentrate on each day. Analyze your strengths and weaknesses daily and adjust your workouts accordingly. Work hard but never too hard.”
