When computing the number of 100 or 200’s to your peak, do meets with heats and finals in the same day count as 1 or 2 runs?
For me it would count as two. Becuase I do feel that my form raises from race to race and not from day to day
How many runs of each does ot usually take to peak?
100?
200?
400?
i reckon it relates to every athlete, training age, level of fitness, how much prepared they are etc…
Charlie, what is your take on this?
Do a search, this has been covered many times by Charlie. I believe the number was around 10 for 100m., 6 for 200m. and 4 for 400m.
I assume my question was considered too stupid to be answered, so I’ll go with what I assumed initially, which is that we’d count it as two runs to the total. Although physiologically for a low level athlete multiple runs in a same day won’t really fatigue the CNS much compared to a high level athlete. That’s why I thought that maybe for a lower level athlete a multiple runs in a same day might count as one run, regardless of the extra competition experience gained by more runs.
I wish I was ever able to do anything between 6 - 10 100m races to peak. I always get injured and never get the chance to run anything more than 2 - 3. Sometimes I never got a chance to run anything through the season. And the most was 9 races and I was quite lucky to be ok through the season. But to say the truth. Raceing is where all the fun comes in this sport. I believe I’m loosing a lot.
