Duration of interval reps, GPP and more

EDIT: I noticed I had a couple of things written down in the wrong order:
See below for changes (Weights are now the day AFTER running)

Hi guys,

My hamstring is now fully healed and functional :slight_smile: I have been doing lots of weights and hill running twice a week and feel pretty strong/fit. Also took the opportunity to really work on my core. Bodyweight is down to 192 now (from 205) and I feel pretty good overall.

My question is in regards to duration of reps during GPP for hills. I want to concentrate on the 200 and possibly an occasional 300 for indoors this Jan.

Should I be keeping my duration of hill interval sprints and other intervals to about 30-40 seconds? Or extend out to 40-50 seconds? Hills are between 200-300 meters, fairly steep and I am doing a walkback recovery. (Really intense lactic work and aerobic)

Going to officially start a 6 week GPP beginning of September.

Here is the initial plan:

Saturday morning:
Long hills (10 x 250) at 80-85%
walkback recovery

Sunday evening:
Lower body weights/intensive core work
3 sets front squats
4 sets stepups to box
3 sets reverse leg press
3 sets calfs
2 sets hamstring curls
2 sets leg extension
Med ball work with partner

Monday evening 5:30pm:
Upper Body weights/core/tempo
3 sets bench
3 sets chins
3 sets standing shoulder press
3 sets dips
3 sets curls
core work
10x100 meter tempo

Tuesday: REST

Wednesday evening 5:30pm:
Shorter Hills/plyos/Lower body weights
2 x 6 x 40 meter steep hill sprints
2 sets sprint bounds
2 sets pogos
3 sets front squats
3 sets snatch grip deads

Thursday evening 5:30pm: Upper body weights/Tempo
3 sets bench
3 sets chins
3 sets standing shoulder press
core work
10x100 meter tempo

Friday: REST

What do you think? I have been following that basic routine recently and it has been going really well. You opinions are appreciated!

cheers,
Chris

Man the site seems slow lately. DAYS go by without responses to many threads. where is everyone???

“If it ain’t broke then don’t fix it”. That’s the motto you should go by.

If it is working for you then keep doing what you do. If not, then start to make changes.

I, too, have noticed the site has slowed down. I think part of it is that a lot of posters are in school so posting everyday is not quite an option. I can, but that’s because of special circumstances :smiley:
