Lactate Threshold Training

[TaSsl]

PS : The races should help you decide what you need in training as you progress through your season. If you lack “speed” then do some more speed-type training and make sure you are properly rested before each high intensity session.

If you cannot finish your races, then make sure you keep some endurance training in your program. There are many examples of speed and endurance sets even in the GPP. Just take those and play around with them a bit, make them specific to your racing needs.
Just to be sure, do you mean modify next seasons training considering my limitations this year?

NO, ACT NOW. Every race or time trial should yield information. Use the information to adjust your training to address the shortcomings revealed by your most recent performances .

Thanks

I am interested in this concept. I (or my coaches) have usually focused only in increase the quality of the runs decreasing the volume without taking that much into account the last performances.

In my case, I am feeling pretty fast (2.8x in flying 30 and 6.6x in 60m standing), the problems I have felt during my races are:

• Bad start.
• Crossing legs: some cuts&blood on the calves.
• Last 50 meters on the 200.
• Slow start on the 400 (first 200m) and the last 80m (I guess that’s normal).

I am not sure how I would address this; I am writing my reasoning: as I am competing on Saturday, I thought on 2 days:

Monday: 4x80m (starting from blocks, 400m pace). 4x150.
Wednesday: 4x100m, 2x(200+200).

Tempo on Tuesday and warm-up on Friday.

Does the reasoning makes sense? If not, where is the mistake and what/why would you change? Thanks!
