The next step is to get the school coach to read it. Two coaches who developed both male and female Olympic finalists and low 44sec male and high 49 sec female performers never used a session like that. While tempo vols approached two thirds of this coach’s low end, that was done with top performers, not a barely sub 60 sec girl.
From my own experience, I worked with a girl who ended up running high 56sec after work so tough that she got a pelvic stress fracture requiring her to stay off the track for a full year. Why in the hell did anyone give such a load in the first place and how could so much yield so little performance??
After returning to a volume of a fraction of what you’ve described, she ran in the 52s- that’s her on the GPP DVD/download by the way.
Another girl I worked with was frustrated with track as a junior and took from Sept 1983 to March 1984 off. That’s a hell of a bind leading into the Olympics!!
I told her there was no point even worrying about her general aerobic work- she’d done plenty in previous years and that we’d do a S-to-L program leading into the games. She improved first her 100 and then her 200 performances and worked up to a 400 at the nationals to show fitness, another 400 two weeks out from LA where she set a national junior record and finally LA, where she ran a 50.22e split on the relay as part of our 3.21.21 Olympic Silver performance.
