Off + Foam Roll

20m Fly/ 30m accel
20m Finish/ 40m Accel

Quick question. How would I do these reps?

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.

Foam Roll

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.

thanks everyone.
123456asdf your log is really helpful keep it up

What is + and ++ and what should the tempo be for 110 and 220m?

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.

What is the intensiti of these 110 and 220m runs.

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

So you do this extensive tempo to recover from a speed workout and prepare for the next one ?

basically yes, there is a thread on this somewhere that goes over the benefits of extensive tempo

Its starting to get cold out very fast :(. Over the past few weeks its been getting noticeably colder and last week it was 60s which is tolerable and not too bad but this week it skipped over the 50s and is like low 40s, I’m used to it so its not awful but i miss the warmer weather especially like during the summer where i could start sweating before i even started to warm up.

Today I utilized the indoor track and its very clear to me that the warmer conditions easily outweighs all of the negatives of being on the indoor track.
