Not even close to a best yet. I feel it coming soon.
I liked the transition. Next season ill probably start with the 2x3x100 split runs. I wanna get into the flat out 300s earlier.
Yea when I have a speed end day it will be 150x3 or 2 depending on how the body feels.
I’m definitely gonna keep the 120s in. I like to do a 120 after short speed just for form work and speed end ill do a few 120s
5/18 had a meet which turned into a fiasco. Meet was supposed to be a masters and open meet. They decided the day of the meet to include aau kids. This intern totally destroyed the schedule. No body knew until we arrived. I was scheduled to run at 10 am for the 100 based on the schedule they sent out . So I ate ate 7am arrived to the track at 8 and got warm despite all the damn children. I then found out they had to reseed heats and change the schedule. So the meet went straight to hell from there. I warmed up and cooled down 3 times before I finally ran at 1pm. The worst part is they surprised us and said ok yall up out of the fucking blue. Ofcourse I wasnt warm. During my first warm up I felt prime to run really fast. Didnt feel that way once it was time to run. My supplements I had taken at run its course and I was hungry as shit. So with a tight hamstring and sore cool achilles I ran my usuall 11.2.
I wasnt too angry cause They decided to run finals. Too bad those finals didnt happen for 4 hours, and ofcourse no one knew when were running so I had to stay warm for 4 fucking hours. By then it begans to rain and now they are in a hurry. They call us to run the finals out the fuckin blu again. By this time I say fuck it im not running. THey neglected to let anyone know there would be a final in the 100 so nobody showed up. I saw no use in running alone in the rain so I packed up and got the hell out of there.
I wanted to run the 200…but I was starving and I knew they wouldnt run until late. I was right, they didnt run it until 7pm. Fucking sad. I am going to email the meet director to let him know my disgust. That is a great way to make sure know one shows up to any of your meets again.

Regarding your required 3X warmups for this day/fiasco, was the total volume of all 3 warmups combined around 2000m worth of ball of foot contacts/strikes?
Never thought about it but it was quite a few contacts. The first warm up was a good hour. I did 5x100 grass strides, drills, stretched then I did my sub maximal 100. I was primed and ready to roll. 2nd warm up was a few short strides, block work to 10-30 m. The 3rd warm up was just strides and a few runs with spikes. So it turned into a tempo session. Lol

Do you guys get much from weights anymore.
I don’t think oly lifts contributed to any power or speed increases I have ever seen. They were kind of fun but I no longer do them. In fact after I got to a certain strength level, still low at the time I might add, I never got anything else from weights. For sprinting, wide receiver, corner heavy weights seem a bit overemphasized.
I’ve been thinking about that also lately. I think once you reach a certain level of strength getting stronger especially during the season won’t help much, at least at our level. Unless you are just truly weak in one particular body part that contributes to sprinting like the posterior chain.
I have no desire to lift heavy weights and strain through heavy sets - I suppose I lost my mojo. Ask yourself how many fast people you know that spend a lot of time lifting heavy weights? My answer is not many - most of the fast people I know either lift no weights or bodybuilding type weights (arms/machines for high reps). When you are doing a Charlie S2L type of program heavy weights causes more issues then good for most non super freaks.
Yeah, not many. I can think of only a few who lift heavy and run really fast. Who in the nfl that are play wr or db is lifting heavy in the offseason, maybe Revis, maybe Patrick Peterson still does but I doubt it. Deion wasn’t banging out heavy squats that’s for sure.
Yea I’ve always in the past either just stopped lifting or went light.
