Goal for next year 100m sprint- training starts now

I have probably mentioned before, i have a goal for next year. to run the 100m sprint in less than 11 seconds. I am adding 1 tempo run day and one sprint start day to my training week. I feel I have the starting power to get that timing. I need the speed endurance and efficiency in my technique to run the remaining 60m or so after the acceleration peroid. I have no coach, only video and book resources. I will probably video myself and let some top track coaches take a look online and ask for their advice.

So far (past 2 months of training) i feel my start angle has improved (I'm taking off lower than 45 degres to the ground) and i think my first 6 steps are faster. This is quite a new goal for me so it will be interesting!
