Q:

What training techniques help top athletes reach such incredible speeds?

I′ve been trying to improve my running speed for months now, but despite all my efforts, I just can′t seem to break through my plateau. I′ve followed various training plans, incorporated interval sprints, and even worked on my nutrition. However, I still feel like I′m missing something crucial that elite athletes do differently. What specific training techniques or strategies do top athletes use to achieve such incredible speeds? Are there particular drills or mental approaches that make a significant difference?
