I have a small indoor planning issue… I think I ran out of time? Anyway, so far, as soon as I finish my SPP program, I have to jump right into the 10 day taper thingy.
I’m doing the 400m Short to Long.
I did everything up to WEEK 6, and on week 7 I never got to the 300s. I got sick (fever and caughing), and I am still recovering (some caughing), so I decided that this will be my recovery week. And I named it WEEK 7
Prior to what follows, things were going smoothly, until I had to take 3 days off on New Years, the 2nd and the 3rd, due to sickness.
Then: (WEEK 7), where I’m cutting things in half due to de-load purposes:
Monday: Short Speed
Tuesday: caughing like a maniac and took off.
Wednesday: 4x300s tempo on grass.
Thursday: 200+100 (today)
Friday: half of tempo.
Saturday: 300+80
Sunday: half of Power Speed.
Monday: travel to Milan and will take it off, and then resume with WEEK 8?
I just want to make sure this seems right, according to racing schedule, as I’m not quite sure how early the spp should end, before the desired ‘peak’ date (Feb 27).
Racing schedule:
Feb 6 (qualifying race for Balcan Games; I’m giving it a shot). If all remains put, this would be the deload week after week 10.
Feb 13(second qualifying race for Balcan Games). WEEK 11
Feb 20. Indoor Balcan Games WEEK 12
Feb 27 Indoor Greek Nationals
To summarize…
With the above in mind, and considering that I will also need 1 de-load week after week 10, my first race on Feb 6th, falls nicely at the end of the deload week.
Then week 11: with the second race.
Week 12
And I barely create a 10 day taper for the Nationals on the 27th.
mmm… is this too tight? Sorry if it’s confusing…
My question is: What happens when spp is not followed by a pre-comp phase but jumps right into the 10 day taper? (and I don’t know how one plans a pre-comp phase, but anyway…)
