Hey,
i have to run 200m and 400m at a school meet. Normally i m doing 100m/200m…

Anyway, what do you think about this taper:

5 days before:
Rest
4 days:
long Warm-up
2x30m block 5’
2x30 fly. 5’P
120m+150m or 1x200m or 120m+180m
weights 2,4 reps lower body(reduced volume)

3 days:
weights 2,4,6 reps upper body(reduced volume)
Tempos 8x100m
2Tage vorher
3-4x30m block 95%
2x60m in 9-10 secs, just technically correct
1 day before
off

COMPETITION:
200m, long jump, javelin, 400m

The red signed is my biggest concern…

Any critics are welcome and appriciated!

Bye

I don’t know what you do normally,
But if I’d take wat more rest,

day 2
warm up
maybe only 2x30 starts
warm down(stretches)

Just do as little as possible for comt. because it’l be a hard day

if you attempting a 400m i would skip the block starts the week leading into the meet you will need your quads fresh to come home strong in the last 100m so maybe do these with a less explosive action from a 2 step start or even just go with your fly’s as suggested…

thx, that might be a good point!

Normally i prepare like this for 200m comps in pre-comp-phase.
So i havent really tried to focus on the 400m.

What do you guys think about the 400m time after running a 200m 3h earlier?
How much time will i loose, because of running a 200m before?

Not much, but that would depend on your conditioning level and of course, how fast you ran that 200m.

thx.

So any other ideas about the red marked runs…?
