Last week or so we got a huge amount of snow here, right after my last split run workout, so I’m supposed to make the transition to speed endurance now.
Anyways, needless to say the track is FULL of snow…like 6-12" in that range
I could sprint on the road but I dont know…
Advice please!!
havnt you seen rocky IV? thats how you sould train, knee deep in snow yelling your gierlfriends name
really though i have no advice i sympathise completely, i have no indoors facilities either so my trainings are in the mercy of the weather:(
long stairs? or running drills on the spot?
“drill are always possible in any weather. Sometimes you can make the conditions work for you. Strength endurance -running As for prolonged distances/times (up to 120m or 90sec max per rep-time is probably a better guide under variable conditions -with 2-6 reps per session- can be done uphill in knee deep snow -provided perfect technique is maintained. Be careful that you know the terrain beneath the snow. These can replace special endurance runs for a significant period and they’ll get you in shape in a hurry!”
and
" Power-speed drills are of a short duration, while strength endurance uses the same drill over a prolonged period to develop endurance. For example, a SE running A drill is high knee runs with forward progress at a slow walking pace for distances up to 200, or even 300m in the case of 400m athletes. Such drills may take up to 3min, though they must never be done beyond the distance, or time, over which perfect form can be maintained. This is ideal training for bad weather environments. Strength Endurance is usually done once per week, though it can be done 2x/wk for short periods"
hope these help!
When do you plan on competing, and is it going to be the 100m or indoor 50-60m? If indoors, then you should be keeping everything under 60m.
