Oscar Peyton’s training focus: lotsa drills, high-intensity runs
Oscar Peyton, the M55 national sprint champion who edged Bill Collins in the Landover 200, yesterday gave blogger Pete Magill a comprehensive look at his training regimen. (Check it out here.)  It can be summarized thusly: Run a few sprint reps well. Do drills a lot. But his body isn’t yours (although he’s as skinny as me), so take care on trying to replicate his philosophy. I’m always going back-and-forth over run-fast workouts and run-lots-of-reps workouts. This year I’m trying the lay-a-distance-base then train-faster-come-summer approach. Actually, as long as you don’t injure yourself, it’s all good.Â

Drills, drills… oh,how I share this philosophy.

Hate to give the secret away ~ but speed drills and some plyometrics really give you the edge!
Oscar is a greater person and athlete. He has yet to reach his potential, which is amazing for someone who didn’t start running until the age of 50. Keep up the work ethic and your goals will come true.
