HI INTENS session volume

Not at York! They’d have gone through the wall at the end. 60 was it. we could have done 80s at a training camp but we usually used the camps to work on grass as we had the track surface we needed where we were and didn’t have unlimited funds for the whole group.

Charlie didn’t you ever use the inner 200m track for longer work?

Also how is Ben at massaging? Saw him working on some people today.

Whenever the weather is cold or rainy, run into the wind. This increases the work while slightly decreasing ROM for safety sake. Are you in Paris? Isn’t there still an indoor track. I remember a dirt track with very large bends indoors in the 70s.

We did these runs into the wind, for the reasons you describes. This was done in the German camp base, and we don’t train in Paris. I don’t know which track you are talking about, maybe it no longer exists, the indoor track at the sport center is 166m and very dangerous (there is a depth just next to the outside lane, i remember someone fell during a competition).

Didn’t answer the second ppart. i’d work on the finish via alactic training primarily as he’s already performing at a level where this would be where most of his potential gains could come from

What’s your take on this, Pierre-Jean?
For this particular person and with those 150s being at ~96%, I would prefer the second of your options, but I’d like to hear your view as well.
What’s your reason behind suggesting the first option?
Thanks!

That’s actually the plan, in the will to respect the nature of this sprinter. In spite of his great courage, the usual lactic workouts done so far have led him nowhere. The problem is to make him integrate that it’s possible to work his finish via alactic training, since to me the trust in what we do is as important as what we do.

Fully understand your point, but the conditions during the finish of the race for an athlete of his level are such that mirror much-much closer a- rather than lactic conditions; apparently he struggles to realise this, I suppose…
These are more personal issues, of course…
Charlie, any… tips?

The 200m oval was ok for 300 and up for women and 500 up for men but tough below that at the best of times- which were seldom as people kept stepping in front on the oval to run their 40 sec 200s. Very dangerous!. We eventually claimed the straight and gave up on the oval.

do running a’s at the end of the session count for total volume for the session???

Thx for the reply, I’ve been finding running 200s i have to hit the brakes coming into the turns. I guess I’ll drop those.
