You need to decrease that squat vol, you are in spp now. Remember you can’t take Mike strength training volume and try to apply it to CF sprint program.
Thanks for the advice.
I am only lifting 2 times a week vs the 3 i was in GPP so i thought i could up the volume since the weekly total would be less but this work out took so long to complete that I will gladly reduce the volume and was actually going to do that after i realized that i don’t have enough time to do this everyday.
What do you mean Mike Strength Training Volume?
And what would you recommend? something closer to 4x3 or 3x3ish?
Mike Young and DP normally back squat once a week and each session normally ave 5-6 sets of squat. Also Mike Young sprint vol is much lower then CF… I would stick to something like.
Squat Twice per week.

I now have easy access to a track so today I got to do my tempo on a football field and running on grass feels sooooooo much nicer than the tempo I’ve been doing on a treadmill. Tomorrow is my first time this training season running on a track so I am excited to see how i feel moving on the track since i know I am much faster than last time I ran on one. Also I now have a training partner who is about the same ability as me so that’ll help and make training less lonesome.

I found out i have access to starting blocks. what are peoples thoughts on incorporating them vs. just using 3pt starts (too you think its too early or it always good to start out of blocks if you can)? thanks for the help as im not sure at all about the normal protocol for this
You can start block work, I wouldn’t be doing pc and cp in the same session in SPP…

Is there a reason for this belief about not using both the pc and cp. Im just wondering cause i have found all your advice useful and informative but for this scenario i like using both exercises, i keep the overall volume low and i think using the cp before the pc acts as a nice warm up and its a good exercise too.
As Charlie said before when speed intensity increases something must give.
true, i like keeping them both in so ill drop intensity or volume of them…thanks for the advice once again.

Today was my first pure speed session on the track this season and I felt very good on everything except the block starts, which is expected since i hadn’t used them in awhile and don’t know my settings. But overall it was a very good session.
Also played some Ultimate Frisbee later, hopefully it doesn’t come back and haunt me.
