Help Modify S-L

Good points. What’s your bodyweight? How are your strength training sessions? How was your GPP? I’m not totally sold that bobsledders need three speed days, I would def decrease volume and remove the special endurance work. If you wanted to stay with CF workouts then make Mon/Fri your speed sessions while keeping volume <330 and Wed a pure accel session 0-30 while keeping volume <240. I would have 2 days of ext tempo keeping volume 1000-1500yds - very important to support the speed work.

I agree that i should scale it back. But i am really looking at advice on how i should scale it back. In acceleration, special endurance or both. Also in Charlie’s spp lecture he warns to be careful with the stop watch at this point of the training because the loading will diminish results until recovery. So i don’t know how much i should freak out there is still 9 weeks of the training block.

Thanks for the post RB34. I read through all of it. I was somewhat familiar with the way Hartmen trained the sliders. The new S&C coach seems to use some tempo as Hartmen didn’t. One thing you have to keep in mind is that most of the residents at Lake Placid had a backround in track and field or football and came in running around 3.6 is the 30m. If you are already that fast most of the work on the track is of course going to be for maintenance and they have to spend more time in the weight room working on strength as Hartman mentioned. My backround is in olympic weightlifting and my best clean is 200k and my best squat is 270k. So obviously my focus should be on the track.
