Guidelines

[400Stud]

What do you guys think are some general guidelines to follow as far as different types of workouts? Everyone has different guidelines, so let’s hear it.

In your response include distances for each rep, volume (min and max), rest, and purpose (alactic anaerobic system, strength endurance, etc.). All for the following:

Int. Tempo
Ext. Tempo
Speed (all aspects)
Speed Endurance
SE1
SE2
Hills
Running A’s
Long Bounds

And if you want throw in some sample workouts to go along with it. I know I’m not the only one not 100% sure about these things so let’s get a discussion going.

I know certain things depend on phase so if you want to specify that, too, go for it.

I hope this comes out right. But is a table I use to look at when planning, I also use the table that is in the USTAF book.

[Terminology “Length

Thanks very much for posting those tables DMA! I’ve been looking for something like those tables all over! Thanks again!
