Much higher? The recommendation for protein for endurance athletes is in
the 1.2 to 1.6 g per kg body weight while the recommendation for
sprint/power athletes is 1.6 to 2.0 g per kg body weight (depending on who
one reads).
You do realize that an all out 100m expends a lot of muscle glycogen, right?
200m and 400m even more.
