Is it safe to assume that you’re doing a standing start for the 2x30m?

yes, unless i say otherwise, it means standing starts

Thanks for your help!

Weights

Today was pretty good. I felt very smooth at top speed and felt like I had good hip height. I wasn’t tired but i was dead when i was lifting weights so I am hoping that was indicative that i had a great quality speed session.

I timed some runs today and they were a little disappointing but its kinda late to make changes so I guess i just gotta hope that everything comes together and that today’s session wasn’t an indication of my season.

The weights volume (for lower body) has dropped way too dramatically, like I said some weeks ago. Just stick with your plan though and getting meet experience should help substantially. One session can just be a one off–just be confident that you’re working hard daily and you’re recovering well and it will pay-off in the coming months.

How are the squats going for you?

Id say pretty well since my squat max has probably increased by almost 50% so far this season but the majority of that was in GPP, i havent tested my squat since then but im sure if i cut back the track intensity in order to max out it would go up some more

So the setsXreps are working for you?

I think so, like i said i havent tested recently but the weights were moving up will i was still in maxS period and now that im in maintenance i can handle the weights easily, but in the end im more concerned about building the most speed on the track and not the strongest squat and i think the template you recommended will help with that as it makes sure i dont over do the weight room. thank you
