Interview with Tudor Bompa

Charlie how do you recommend to do the flying 20’s, this past outdoor season I went with option A and gpp/spp option B.

A: Flying 20 with 40m acc zone. Gradual accelerate over 40m when the athlete hit 40m zone “take off” accelerate faster.

B: Flying 20 with 40m acc zone. Gradual accelerate over 40m when the athlete hit 40m zone “ride out over the next 20” focusing on staying relax and stepping over opposite knee etc.

I think option A put more focus on top speed, and option B is more sub max very similar to doing a 60m sprint with a 40m intensity limit.

Relaxation is key in either option you present and since technique is the main purpose, most of the work will be slightly sub max as in the examples from the GPP download during the first track sessions.
