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

First Indoor meet in 1 month from today. I am excited.

What are you running?

I am in high school so i have a lot of meets during December and January and a few championship meets in February. The first meet has a restriction of only 1 running event so I am going to do the 55m.
