Its always amazed me how sprinters do those double days. Every time I've tried to focus on strength by doing 2x intense lifting workouts a week I'm just sore all the time and any riding or running above higher tempo intensity seems so difficult which maybe be OK ok when doing winter volume at lower intensities but hard to incorporate it when trying to do vo2 max intervals within the same training block . I'll ask about this in training so i don't pull this thread sideways. I'm just panic training really as the season is almost over just as its begun and unless i can improve my 1-5 min power I'm not going to win anything. (note to self panic training = over training so don't do that)

Depends on what you are training for?
AFAIK, track sprinters do several double days, with gym in the morning, track in the afternoon.
They may focus more on bulking during offseason though?
