The program was S-L. He enlisted my coaching just prior to the outdoor season so that took indoor out of the equation.
Remember, however, my memory is foggy with respect to details.
Did not consider low intensive jumps on extensive days. While this may prove beneficial for a novice this was well beneath his capacity and there’s more than enough literature that indicates how a certain intensity must be reached on the competition exercise in order for positive transfer to occur.
You may recall me mentioning in the NCAA T&F coaching problem thread how this same athlete was physically capable of jumping over 8.30m so any lower intensive jumps on extensive training days in the CFTS model would have simply interfered with his preparation.
In a block approach this could have worked in which more extensive bounds/jumps serve as a preparatory mechanism for more subsequent intensive work; however, with an already talented jumper performing a CFTS influenced program I think to implement these types of means concurrently along with CNS intensive jumps would be counter intuitive.
I suppose more extensive bounding could be used in GPP?
As far as volumes go, I am unable to remember much beyond his tempo volumes would typically hover around 2000m of total work on grass; however, as the outdoor season went on I switched him to tempo on an exercise bike as his shins gave him intermittent problems.
On the bike I’d have him go for 13-20sec intervals and intersperse these intervals with abdominal and auxiliary work.
As far as total speed volumes, I remember staying conservative with respect to Charlie’s recommendations.
As far as jump work, you’ll have to forgive me for not remembering much. Although, I know that auto-regulation served a primary role in terms of shutting things down when we felt that we had accomplished what we set out to for that particular session- particularly with respect to full approach jumps.
Weight work was secondary, relatively higher intensity and low volume
I’m interested in how much full approach jumping was used in training, only I have never performed full approach jumps in training… always shorter approach or run-throughs…but have heard of it used in other programmes.
I understand your memory is hazy. However, also I’m interested as to the weekly programming in comparison to CFTS, and how many times actual long jumping was used weekly. So was it Speed/tempo/SE/Tempo/Speed/Tempo… so that there is max time between speed sessions a la CFTS? And in that case, would any jumping on the SE day be of a lower intensity/number of steps?
