Objective. To generalize the long-term training experience on the material of sprinting.
Methods. Analysis and generalization of data of scientific and methodological literature, generalization of own experience of preparation, autoexperiment, methods of statistical analysis.
Results. The basic preparation of Olympic champion Valeriy Borsov being the foundation for development of various motor qualities required by a sprinter, conducted under the guidance of the thoughtful, creative teacher Boris Ivanovich Voitas is considered. Examples of various training means allowing to master a wide arsenal of movements and the optimal technique for their execution are given.

Conclusion. The strategies, planning, technologies of training track and field athletes, and the preparation for the major competitions of the four-year cycle, which are reflected in the article on the example of sprint running, may be useful for track and field sprinters and their coaches for creative training planning.
