BEACH SPRINT

Beach Sprint training plans, built for your goal

Beach Sprint is a 90-metre dash through soft sand — pure acceleration and top-end speed with none of the traction a track gives you. SportBlox builds your beach sprint training plan around your start technique, current times and the carnivals on your calendar.

Who it's for

Who it's for

Shaving tenths off your sprint time

Structured acceleration and top-speed work aimed at a faster 90m soft-sand sprint.

First season racing sprints

A technique-first block that builds sand-running mechanics and start reactions without overloading a new sprinter.

Sharper starts

Reaction and block-start drills targeting the first 10 metres, where soft-sand races are often decided.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like slow reaction off the start, losing form in soft sand, top-end speed over the final 20m and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

For coaches

FAQ

Beach Sprint training plan FAQ

How many sessions a week does a beach sprint plan include?

Typically 4–5, mixing acceleration and technique work with strength and at least one full rest day.

Do I need beach access to train?

Sand-specific sessions are ideal for race-day feel, but SportBlox substitutes grass or track sprints when you flag limited beach access.

Is this suitable for nippers moving up to opens?

Yes, skill level scales volume and start complexity for that transition.

Will the plan build toward a specific carnival date?

Add your carnival as an event and SportBlox periodises training toward it, tapering in the final week.

Does it help with starts specifically?

Yes — start reaction and first-step drills are worked in year-round, not just before a carnival.
