400m S-L questions

[Track007]

@Stefanie

Oh I have no clue so far :o This is my first time doing it.

I think it will strongly depend on how I perform indoors, spot the things I need to work on, and surely have shorter sprint days (unlike the second part of the current SPP that drops short speed), as I will also want to compete in shorter races outdoors.

Furthermore, I think that almost repeating the same SPP will not be a bad idea at all, because all of November, half December and second half of January and all February of my current SPP is done in around 0 temperature (most times below…), outdoors, oftentimes with snow around, and the quality will not be too good.
I still don’t know how I will pull off training from this Monday and onwards, (when it snows they only shovel 100m at the track on which I train), but I don’t even want to think about that now. Last year it wasn’t so bad, because I only wanted to run the 60m indoors.

But taking one day at a time here!

I’m interested in others’ responses on this, also.

Yeah

If you are looking to run shorter distances outdoors (100/200) then repeating the SPP 400m s-to-l may not do you any harm IMO (though some of the more experienced coaches/athletes may have something to say about that). I know Charlie has mentioned the use of shorter competition distances to supplement the season for a 400m runner on this sort of programme with competition period training distances of 120 and 150 (mentioned on this thread).

Thoughts?
