it seems ok. i usually do 60-100 M build ups. sprint 100 M walk back sprint it again. usually about 10 times. I also run hills, stairs, and bounding.

ok

I think the stuff Bubba Sparks has on his website is good. Hes coached some pretty good vaulters.

3X60 3X50 3X30 3 MINUTES BETWEEN REPS / 5-8 MINUTES BETWEEN SETS. thats the hardest workout on that page, doesnt seem that hard...but is this workout suppose to be like plyometrics where you get alot of rest... do i just have the wrong idea about workouts are suppose to be tiring.

well it doesn't look like a "work out", per say, but more speed development training (which it says at the top of the web page). It not a workout you follow to get into shape, its a work out you follow to get faster. All anaerobic, low volume high intensity. You don't build much speed running 150's again and again, those build fitness. The real speed development comes in the 60, 40, 20 full out sprints.
