John Smith Planification

The warmup plan mentioned earlier in this thread can be found in the 2007 USATF Podium Education Project (at usatf.org, under for coaches), where it was presented by JS himself. While some here like tamfb will want to argue about the needed length of a warmup, HSI is well known for long warmups, particularly for races and speed workouts (HSI won’t warm up that long for 5X300 in 39).

Last week at Podium Project he said that he likes his athletes to warm up a good hour and a half prior to the competition - especially when they have to warm up and then go sit down in the staging area at major competitions.
