Today just felt okay but i believe that is okay because of the training plan and up till week 7 being building weeks then ill start feeling fresher. Anyone have any ideas on what kind of reps/sets i should use once i go into maintenance in week 8?
They are the same thing. You have a 30m or 40m run-up/acceleration (which should be essentially as fast as you can while relaxed and entering the fly zone @ full speed) and then maintain the top speed you reached for 20m in each rep. At your speed, you likely don’t need a 40m accel before the fly.
Tricky stuff if you are reading CF spp graphs, I say this because if you do the flys the way fog mention above they are nothing more then doing a 60m sprint with 30m acc zone. Some people prefer to do flys by acc to 30m then take off (increase speed) when you hit the fly zone.
The way I do them is I, for the accel zone, do a very gradual build up to top speed and then maintain or go into “overdrive (while still staying relaxed)” once I hit the Fly zone.
The purpose of today’s session was to not stray to far away for HI for too long, due to scheduling there is four days between my last speed day and my next one, so I added this day because it wasn’t much but would help make sure I’m not flat for my next speed session.
I do the tempo on a football field which happens to be 120 yards long (~110m). The + signifies that i would walk the short length of the field(sideline to sideline) between reps. And the ++ signifies that i would walk the long way (end zone to end zone) between sets.
And can you rephrase your second question, I’m not exactly sure what you are asking.
I cant give an exact percentage because these are on grass in trainers and my pr in on a track in spikes, so those are 2 very different things, and i also dont time these. But basically i try to do extensive tempo so im guessing about 70% given the surface,. i just try to stay relaxed and stride it out.
I did do a workout at some point that was 7x200m on the track in trainers with 200m walk recovery and i timed these between 34-37 seconds
