The Tuesday with flys or overspeed is a MAJOR CNS stressor, and too close to the race for my taste: Maybe if you do it Monday and something like 3X30+80 on Wed. In a race week, I don’t think I’d follow flys/OS after Monday with anything more than tempo, or starts, or just a warmup. Not even easy accels. And if this is a championship type meet…well, compare with the last 5-7 days of Charlie’s 10-day taper.
I been trying to sell the school on your system but the coach is so stubborn. They have a national rank 400m runner and 4x400 relay but short sprinters suck.
Honestly, these look like the kinds of workouts that make you go “eh, that’s not very good” then their team comes out and kicks your ass. What is this, Lincoln’s program or something?
If the 4x400 prelims are on Thursday and finals on Friday do you guys think it would be too much to do 3x150’s at 16-17sec full rec on Sunday. BTW the athletes had a race lastnight and ran 3.13 and did a short shakeout today.
Hello Charlie and forum members, the 4x4 group did 8x100’s tempo today, what would you do on Tue and Wed? They are flying out Wed morning, I was thinking rest Tue, warm-up Wed, and prelims Thur.
The coach is nervous to do it my way because he has always done something fast 2 days out. I told him the work has been done and now it’s all about staying sharp and recovery.
