400m S-L questions

@martijn

• There’s practically nil quality work over 50-150m. I understand this athlete may need less because of his 100/200 background but this is taking it to the extreme.
• Acc/Hills are ultra-short. Maybe do the first two sessions over 20-25m but after that it needs to be 30-40m.
• I would take longer breaks of 15 min or more between the split runs and 450m’s instead of 8-10min.
• 3 reps at 450m is too much. Have yet to meet a short sprinter who will have something left after rep 2.
• Can’t say much about overall weekly volume without knowing what he did before.

(Trying to be helpful, not harsh)

Yes I’m at elite track.

-I was planning to put in work over that distance later the int tempo reps would become SE reps since it is just a summer base program to help improve aerobic abilities before fall training, do you think that should still be apart of the program?

-Ill adjust the accells
-The 450 is meant to be at 80-85% 200m pace for the first 200m and then the rest of the rep will be slower coming through 400m around 57. Now that i have actually thought about it the rest does need to be increased. I’ll drop the last 450 and leave it optional.

Thanks for the help it is much appreciated!
