I’ve just come off of doing the L2S program as outlined in the Edmonton DVD. What do you guys think would be the best way to train based on this in the inseason? The one thing I did differently is that I only did 4 weeks of it and I dropped the Speed workout due to recovery reasons.
Last weeks workout was:
Tues:
2x(4x30 blocks) 150m (35min rest) 150m
Sat:
2x(4x30 blocks) 350m
I run the 100, 200, and 4x100 so on Saturdays I’ll have 2 100m’s a 200m and a 4x100.
If I plan on doing my sprinting on Tuesdays, which day should I drop? The 150’s or the 350’s?
Personally I’d drop the 350, or in some weeks you could compromise and do a 250. I think 350 is a bit far from racing distance to be doing regularly during the season. How long have you got to continue like that, and do you have a period where you are not racing for a couple of weeks. If that is the case, you may want to try and include a 250 or a 350 in that week?? That’s probably how I’d approach it.
I agree, drop the 350m (if racing), but you could use the thursday as an acceleration session, keeping the tuesdays for Acceleration and speed endurance 80-150m range. My group have been working L-S and have moved from purely longer work to 1 long session, now 200s moving down to 150m, and 1 shorter session 80-120m having dropped the 300s and 350s. We will move as per Charlies graph to 3 sessions to spread the CNS load, apart from when racing. Once the season is fully underway I will alter the set up again to suit competition committments etc. Let me know what you think.
