Adjusting volume to 2 HI days

[lkh]

@tamfb

First of all, unless the athlete is getting some major therapy it’s very hard to train more then 5days per week. In gpp I would use three hi days but only half the volume on the graphs, most athletes respond better to higher freq training in gpp. In spp I would use two hi days while using half the volume on the speed days and full SE volume minus some start work.

Agree with the 5 days/wk issue, and in fact people I see at the track (professionals) have PT available MWF although mostly training 4 days a week (MTTF).

But if someone is doing HI 3X/wk plus tempo 2-3X/wk and the load is too great (don’t know if that’s the case here), what do you cut–HI or tempo, or both?
