Today:
I have a weird feeling in my right knee. I’m not sure if this is acute or chronic. Its not painful or anything and I can still run on it no problems but I’d like to take care of it now before it turns in to anything major. I’ve been icing and taking some anti-inflamatories for it. Seems to be feeling better already.

Are you doing any plyos this comp season?
Yeah, I’m just going to be maintaining some depth jumps and bounding, very low volume. I did a poor job with plyos this season. I’ve got a decent plyo progression set up for outdoors though that I hope will change things a little.
Wow depth jumps inseason…
just maintaining them, very low volume. And they are cut out during tapers and before important comps. I dont see why I should cut them out completely.
Even at low volumes they could still take 10-21 days to recover from. I would move towards hurdle hops 3-4x5 or p skips height/distance 2x30meters.
Thanks for the advice. I’ve been doing them for some time now, and the stimulus is quite adjusted by now. If anything I will drop them completely. Not sure if I want to introduce anything new into training in my competition period.
Do that… Intro low hurdle hops shouldn’t be problem since u been doing depth jumps.
Thursday:

1x150m
Power cleans
Plyos
Today:140m
2x20m
2xflying 30s
Jump squats
Give us more details, how many setsxreps on the jump squats? Are you doing flys during the indoor comp season etc?
Sorry, I’ve been getting pretty lazy with the log.
6x2 jump squats
Flying 30’s were just a spur of the moment thing, because the coach had timing gates set up and I hate to pass up a chance to get timed. These wont be done during comp season though, I’ll usually be hitting 60m repeats.
