Indoor season planning.

I made the same suggestion months ago because that’s what I’m doing in SPP…

Hi PhilG,

Thank you VERY much for suggesting the cut volume. I usually run out to 50m (because I’m slow and it will get lactic if I run out to 60m at less than full intensity).

Your point about doing only 2 or 3 sets will be taken very seriously. Last year, I would do basically 4x(4x50m) with almost no rest between the 50m reps. It was basically 50m down, turnaround, and 50m back, and 4 mins between sets.

Looking back, I think this lack of rest probably really killed the quality! I barely shaved any time in the 60m last year, and was always tight and sore.

FYI, following a query by me in the SPP forum, NumberTwo made a pretty cool suggestion about following a mixed program (S to L on Speed Day 1, L to S on Speed Day 2). I will keep everyone posted.

Might I ask for a few ideas for general fitness work? I was thinking Pfaff GS circuits would be one thing, of course the CF medball circuits would be another. I could use a few more ideas though!
