Your training look random, what kind of progression are you following with your speed work etc?
Right now Im doing my gpp. 7 weeks this is my second week. I will be on the hills for about 3 more weeks before I start sleds and some track work accelleration.
Looks intense. How do these volumes compare to the volume you’ve done in prior GPP work?
Why the jump from 20m hills to 50m hills in such a short time period? What’s the point of going from hills to sleds?
I have done them before but I didnt do the 40-50 meter hills because I didnt have any around. The med ball was tough at first but i got used to it.
actually the hill I was at was only 20m the workout called for 10x10,10x20m, 10x30 hills for 3 practices. I did 10x10 and 20x20 the first time the next practice I did 3x10x20m because I wanted to get some kind of stimulus from it and because I didnt have the 30 I had to make up for it somehow.
This weeks practice I am to do 3x6x40m. I found a new hill, it is far from my house tho. I went today. As I was doing it at the end of the 2nd set I mesured it and discovered I was doing 50m instead of 40, I just finished the workout anyways. Do you think I should keep it at 40?
I have about 3-4 more weeks of 40 meter hills. I can send you the workout but I think I may have given it to you already.
AS for the sleds my partner is eager to do them so I was just gonna throw some in.

Was that your last week of GPP?
no I still got a week or two of hills before I start track work. Im doing the full 7 weeks. My time last season were horrible.
going heavy on the squats in gpp.
Haha sounds like you learned your lesson…Did you slack off during your GPP last year?
BTW since your in Sunny Florida are you running indoors? If you are what are you doing for Speed End and Special Endurance??
Thx
